Tasty Pizza for an Herbivore

*This picture is a wildly inappropriate match for the rest of this post*

White Spinach Pizza

1 pre-made crust from the grocery store (or make your own, if you're talented like that)
Alfredo sauce
Fresh spinach

Garlic
Red Pepper
Italian Cheese blend

Optional:
toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Wine suggestions:
A good South African Sauvingon Blanc
An easy red, like Menage a Trois

Combine all of the ingredients in a pizza like fashion. Bake until is smells good, the cheese is melted and the crust browned.

Ingredient ratios can be adjusted to taste - for example, more spinach for a healthier pie or more garlic, to ward off potential good night kisses from unwanted suitors. Or, if you've had a crap day, forgo all the pizza ingredients except for the alfredo, cheese and bread. Increase the amount of wine to make up the difference.

Have a good weekend!

Window Frame

It's amazing what a little brown paper and an afternoon can do to a window. I love this technique...I made a headboard like this years ago. I don't think it would be good design to have a paper head board and a paper window frame in the same room, but maybe you could do a bunch of paper things and make it look like an art installation. It could also be cool to use wrapping or wallpaper if you want colors or prints.


I made this in three parts - the top, and each side strip individually. I folded the top strip gently in half and free handed some curves. I used a rotary cutter and I would recommend one for this kind of project.

I thought about making the sides match the top, but I share this office with Mr. W and I wanted to keep it somewhat simple to cater to his tastes too.

All in all, it makes me happy. : )

The Pebble Collection

I just discovered The Pebble Collection on etsy. I bought a pair of simple sterling silver hoops. They arrived today and I'm really impressed with the quality and workmanship, so I thought I'd give a little endorsement.

I love her simple and elegant designs and she also makes more whimsical pieces like tree pendents and berry rings. She's having an early Christmas sale - if you join the mailing list, you'll get 30% off and free shipping.

I'm unsuccessfully resisting the urge to buy a pea necklace and about a dozen pairs of earrings...oh, and maybe a Christmas gift or two!
