Making It

I kicked off this weekend with Friday night drinks with the girls at Hotel Georgia.  For the rest of the weekend I laid low and spent my time crafting and cooking.  Quite frankly, it was exactly the kind of weekend I needed.

My first project was a belated birthday present for my friend Bridgette.  Bridgette and I are both super into anything nautical and  I noticed awhile back that in Bridgette's new apartment building everyone had fancy decorations on the outside of their doors except for her.  Inspired by this Winter wreath by P.S.- I made this... I made this nautical themed rope wreath.

Nautical Wreath

Message in a Bottle
The supplies you need for this project are a foam circle, rope, glue gun, and any decorations you want to add.  I went through a LOT of glue for this project and it took quite awhile to wrap the rope around the sphere but I think that the end result was worth it.  I hope she likes it!

For tonight's dinner I whipped up some of my favourite quinoa salad.  I love this salad, it is quite delish!

Ingredients

Peppers, Tomato, and Green Onion

Quinoa, Black Beans, and Corn added in

Final touch: Avocado and Lime Juice
This salad is amazing and healthy - chock full of vitamins :)

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend!!
