Are you sick of hearing about my 2016 goals yet? I'm still going strong thinking of ideas and methods and things I want to try. Here are 3 blocks (one, two, three) I'm eager to sew to fulfill my goal of one new quilt block per month.
I have been thinking of the tarot a lot so far this year. This post pushed me over the edge... now I need to find my deck. (another good post here and a easy spread here)
Here's another interesting post about simplifying life in 2016. There are some interesting points here: 1, 5, 6, and 15 are key this year, I think.
This article on house hold foods that can be used as cleaners is right up my alley.
Speaking of lemons, I've been drinking a lot of hot water, either with or without lemon. Keeps me warm and hydrated!

On My Mind Update:
Right after I asked for dutch oven recipes, I saw this post by Reading My Tea Leaves which led me to this post. So I also tried the mac and cheese recipe. The results were... iffy.
I know it's my fault bc I didn't have the correct pasta and don't really measure. I also think my oven and I are still getting to know each other. This mac and cheese came out more like cheesy pasta, and it was a little dry. The final results were still edible, but barely resembled the original. I would definitely try this recipe again, with a closer attention to detail.

Have you made any casseroles or bakes this Winter? If you feel inspired to try this recipe, let me know!
