one of those days.

today was one of those days.
yall know this kind of day, right?!?!

the kind of day when your to do list is more like your to don't list.
and really it's all because you feel like you're up to your eyeballs in things you need to do instead of doing the things you want to do.

yeah. that's me alright.

so today i ignored my to do list & did something i wanted to do.
a little instant gratification project if you will.
don't yall love those???


i made me a little homemade heating pad.
:D

even though i easily could've made a whole cloth one, i wanted something a little more fun.
plus i wanted a kill two birds with one stone kind of project. <--to make me feel better about dissin' my to do list.

enter "carnival" by jaybird quilts. {hey julie. xoxo.}

yall know i love me some pinwheels.
so it shouldn't come to anyone's surprise that this pattern was on my to do list as soon as i saw it.
no kidding.

carnival + homemade heating pad = instant gratification

me loves it.
i love the pattern & i love my results.
♥

so who knows...maybe tomorrow i can actually tackle my to do list.
i said maybe.
*wink*

and for those inquiring minds...
blue fabric = love by amy butler for rowan/westminster
white solid = pure organic kona by robert kaufman
carnival pattern can be purchased HERE.

the deets:
in early march those lovely sweetwater gals introduced custom subway art.
*swoon*
i almost fell off of my chair.

well not only did they introduce their newest awesomeness...they were giving some away.
guess who won?!?! <--moi.

and this ladies & gentlemen is now one of my all time fav items in our house.
i will keep it forever & ever.
pinky swear.

i may or may not have cried when i opened it.
i'll never tell.
:P

the quality is just a-ma-zing.
and it's just perfect in every way.

trust me when i say that all yall need one of your own.
not. even. joking.
{get your own HERE.}

rachel's mexican pasta.

rachel's mexican pasta

what y'all will need:
3 cups uncooked rotini noodles
2 jars {16 oz} your fav salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese <--i use a mexican blend
1 cup sour cream OR cottage cheese
1 can {16 oz} black beans <--i use bush's
1 can {16oz} drained whole kernel corn
1/4 cup fresh cilantro

the making part:
cook rotini according to package. drain.

mix rotini, salsa, 1 cup of cheese, sour cream, beans, corn & cilantro.

spray 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
spoon the above yum yum mix into pan.
top with remaining cheese.

bake 375' for 20 minutes.

hork it down.

the only downfall is it's meatless.
this is a big deal in the griffith house.
my hubby is a meat & potatoes kind of guy.
feel free to add taco meat to the mix before baking.
{1 lb ground beef cooked, drained. add taco seasoning.}
- fyi: shredded chicken would work just as well -

this is THE perfect meal when you don't feel like cooking.
OR if you've been quilting all day. <--ask me how i know this. HA.

hope y'all enjoy.

xo, rachel

yep.
in love.
yet again.

this time i'm in love with 16 yards of pure bella awesomeness.
