I Love Crock Pots

Can I just say; that I love crock pots? I have been crockin' the pot since Saturday night. I made 2 quarts of chicken stock this weekend. I've made I don't know how much chicken soup. I have several large jars in the fridge and freezer. :)

So here it is: Leigh's Crockin' Chicken Soup

Chicken Legs & Thighs, Celery, Turnips, Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Purple Onions, Leeks, Garlic, Yuengling Black & Tan, Kosher Sea Salt, Cracked Pepper, and Curry. Something wonderful happened when I added the curry. It's like the curry made all the other ingredients work harder to be noticed. When I took off the lid of the crock pot and had my first taste. There was just a hint of the curry and then everything else was rushing into my mouth. Whoa, that sounded bad. But it's delicious, trust me.

Another Month Lost

Well, I don't know where the month has gone. I've been running around in circles, trying not to crash into walls, or go crazy. I'm going through busy season at work and need to be moved out of my house at the end of April. I haven't found a house yet and I haven't started packing. My life and my house is at it's messiest and most disorganized.

New Post

I will be working several hours overtime this week and I think I'll finally be able to post a few photos. I have a new one in my head right now waiting to burst out. Can't wait to show you.

Nothing New...But Ideas

So nothing new on the Flamingo and Clover home front. I haven't created any new jewellery in over a month and it's still too busy to take pictures of what I do have. I have made 5 new terrariums from the Crown Royal and Patron bottles that Brophy's and a Friend were kind enough to provide. (Thank You)  I also finally have a definite workspace for my beads and other crafts. But I don't know the first thing about creating stock. I never make duplicates, each item is completely unique. So I think what I'm going to do is separate the 10 to 12 pieces that I'm most proud of and assemble collections around them. That's the plan for February. Have at least 50 pieces of inventory to start with when I open my Etsy account.

A Little More

I still haven't been able to find the time to take those pictures I promised to. It's just to busy at work right now. Someday I'll have a digital camera of my own and I wont need to use my employer's camera. I also am hoping to learn how to make my own button for my blog. I have ideas of how I'd like the button to look. But I'm just not that cozy with html code. So that is where I'm at with that.

New Necklaces to Show

I have new necklaces to post. As soon as I take the pictures that is. Unfortunately I plan to use the camera from work and it has been very very busy at work this week. I'm going to work early tomorrow. I'll try to have to pictures soon.

Treadmill Turbulance

Well my treadmill arrived yesterday. My darling was putting it together when I came home from work. It may have been presumptuous to think I could walk for an hour a day. It's a manual treadmill so it takes a little bit of muscle from the walker to get it going and keep it going. If I want the walk to be smooth, I have to fast walk or lightly jog. The moment I slow my pace the tread pauses and ceases its smooth flow. So last night I fast walked for 6 minutes; might have been 7. No it was 6. When I stepped off my legs went from muscles burning to jellowy.
