Pinterest Interests

Oh, Pinterest. How I love thee, let me count the ways...I love how you suck me into your time warp, how I sit down with you and look up to realize it's been three hours. I love how I see a craft project or recipe and you make me want to do it. NOW.

If you are on pinterest, you know what I mean. If you aren't on pinterest, get someone to send you an invite ASAP! (unless, of course, you want to do productive things with your time.)

Here are some of the things that my love, pinterest, has inspired me to make this week:

1. Eggplant Gratin


I have had a weird craving for things of the squash variety lately: butternut, zucchini, eggplant, yellow squash...mmmm. I guess it's the late summer, fall-ish weather.

As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew I had to make it. Click below for the full recipe.

This was so, so good. And, I know the leftovers for dinner tonight will be even better!

2. Felt flowered wreaths


What you need:
6-8 sheets of felt, your choice of colors
Sharp scissors
Glue gun and plenty of glue sticks
Grapevine wreath
Artificial berries (or your choice of adornment)...optional
Patience

Here is a tutorial on how to make the flowers: Rolled felt flowers from Lines Across My Face



After you've made your flowers (I did about 12 per wreath), hot glue them to your wreath in whatever pattern suits you. Then place your chosen adornment on the wreath and secure with more hot glue. I hung these with burlap ribbon. I simply wrapped it around each wreath and secured it to the top of the door with flat thumbtacks. I left some ribbon showing on the inside of the door, too.


3. Homemade Cheese Crackers

I had everything I needed for these in my pantry already. I literally looked at the picture and got up and made them. They were so easy and fast and delicious!

They were PERFECT with my tomato soup for lunch! mmmmm.


Thank you, Pinterest! You are truly an inspiration.
