What about Bob's??

Have y'all tried Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats?? Oh, they are so yummy!! The texture is different than rolled oats-a little nuttier...Let me tell you how I prepare mine.

Elise's Oatmeal

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of Bob's steel cut oats.

Stir, then reduce heat{I like to add cinnamon here}.

Simmer for 20 minutes.

Spoon into a bowl, add a little half-n-half{or whipping cream!!}, brown sugar, and maple syrup.

Enjoy!!

*Some yummy add-in's would be chopped apples, chopped pecans or walnuts, different spices...just play around and see what you like!!

I was not paid for this, I just really love this oatmeal!! Consider it my PSA to y'all!!

Hoop Art Swap...

Heather of Life Made Lovely, formerly Blessed Little Nest, hosted a Hoop Art Swap and I knew I had to join!! It was so much fun!! My partner was Amy of Hershey's Kisses. I made the hoop above. I dyed a doily teal, cut a flying sparrow out of burlap, and made rolled felt roses. I then embroidered a sparrow with teal embroidery floss. It is hanging from vintage lace and I couldn't be more pleased with how it came out!!

This is the hoop Amy made for me. I love the yellow fabric and the branch is such a fun touch!! Also note that she used my word for the year, "Joy"...

Thank you so much for hosting this swap, Heather!!

What do y'all...

think of this chair??

I originally saw this chair here...Its from Ikea and I think it is a nice mix of modern{can't believe I just said that in a positive way!!} and vintage. My table is wooden and soon to be white. I think these chairs would be kind of fun!! What do you think???
