My Favourite Pins This Week
A really quick weeknight dinner that tastes like takeout and has lots of veggies- you know that’s my jam! THis great veggie lo mein recipe is easy to make substitutions, too- don’t want to do tofu? Do chicken instead. Switch the veggies for whatever you have that you feel will work. Find the recipe right here.
These Milky Way rice krispie treats are so indulgent and just the thing to bring to a friend’s place or a gathering! basically it’s rice krispie treats with a layer of salted caramel and chocolate ganache,and yes, they are incredible. Find the recipe here.
I love how pretty this granny square cushion cover is! It would be so great for destashing smaller amounts of yarn, and you could choose colours that work with your decor, making it as brought or neutral as you like. Find the free crochet pattern here.
For some cozy worsted weight socks, these would be a perfect knit- great for a quick and satisfying knit that will keep you cozy for the weird weather we’re having in April! Something about these make me think of Sunday mornings reading with a coffee. You can find the free patter right here.
If you are looking to revamp an old dresser, here is a really great post on how to make drawer pulls out of anything- or in this case, plastic toys!I love thee gold dinos, but this would also be great with horses, or sea creatures, or whatever else you fancy. Find the full DIY here.
Have a great weekend friends- and if you are in Toronto, I hope to see you at the Arts & Sweaters market and knitting hang on Saturday! See my first link at the top of the post if you don’t know what I mean. 😉 And if not, I hope you have a lovely weekend!
