Resources

I have promised myself that I won't spend any money on resources until I've used most of what I already have, however that doesn't mean I can't lust over beautiful and fabulous treasures. I found this site like I find most things online, by accident. Purl Soho can be found in, you guessed it, Soho, New York. They are home to great crafting, quilting, sewing, knitting and crocheting supplies. Now if you can't make it into there store (which I plan on doing next time I'm in the City) there website has everything you could dream of right at your fingertips, and you don't even have to put shoes on.

Here are some of my favorite Purl Soho products:

AND if there store isn't inspiring enough for you, check out their blog for great projects.

Funky Christmas Trees

I am LOVING felt these days. Its so easy to work with, (no hemming required!) it comes in great colors and its the perfect option for the graphic look that's so hot right now.

I stumbled upon these cute and funky Christmas trees and now I really want to make some for the coming holiday season. Now all I need is a mantle to put them on!

I'm back...

I'm going to start posting more often on this blog until I get my other website (coreydunn.com) working.

One of the top things I want to start posting are projects/recipes that I want to make and things that inspire me. This way I have a record of projects and I can come back here to reference them, and hopefully you will find them inspiring and helpful too.

Please feel free to comment on anything you have made or want to make and send me suggestions!

Cheers!

Stairs and Shelves

Ryan and I just moved into our new place (yay!). About all we have done at this point is unpack all of our amazing wedding gifts and realized that we need some serious shelving. I'm hoping to be able to put some under the stairs and behind (our yet to exist) dining table.

Here are some inspirational ideas...

This is my favorite, with all the built-in drawers.

I love the mini kitchen!

This little door is so sweet.

Can't get much better than a wine rack.

A nice little office space complete with filing drawers.

Red Pepper and Feta Dip

· 1 Red Pepper (remove the core and all the seeds and cut into chunks)

· ½ a block of cream cheese

· Tub of crumbled feta cheese

· Greek style yogurt

· Extra virgin olive oil

· Red pepper flakes

· Garlic power

· Ground cumin

· Salt and pepper

Blend up the red pepper in the food processor adding EVOO until it’s pretty much puréed. Add cream cheese and yogurt until you get the consistency you want. Add spices to taste. Stir in feta cheese and chill until ready to eat.

*Note: I’m pretty sure this is what I did. I cook on the fly most of the time, so I just kept adding things until it tasted good. So, I say go for it and as Miss Frizzle would say, “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!”
