FO Friday: Finished baby blanket

I had a bunch of yarn left over from my blanket so 

I decided to make a baby blanket to have on hand for any coworkers/friends having a baby. 

But I still have a bunch of yarn left! =)

Hook: K

WIP: Alma's Fiesta Shawl

I made this using the same colors as mine  =) 

Alma saw mine and had to have one- that her Mom will no doubt confiscate =) 

Make it Monday!: Beef Fajitas

Hubby had a taste for Beef Fajitas.

I went to Sam's Club to get the Beef Fajita meat and they were ALL OUT =(

So I went to the Steak Section, grabbed what I thought would work and made my way home. 

I then googled recipes and found one from The Pioneer Woman

I put my meat in freezer bags to marinate with easy clean up.

I added Oil, Worcestershire, Lime Juice, garlic, Salt, Pepper, Sugar and 

whatever seasonings screamed Fajita to me haha

I also had a pack of Fajita Seasoning mix on hand to make a gravy/sauce for it.

I then added the meat and let marinade for about 30 minutes. 

I would have gone longer but I needed to get dinner on. 

I fried it up in a pan for about 4 minutes on each side, 

as to not over cook it.

The guys added Sour Cream, Lettuce, Salsa and cheese. 

They were quick and tasty- I need to make them again soon!

FO Friday: Half Granny Shawl

I made my first shawl!!!

Q and I went to Michael's and the summer color yarn spoke to me!

So here I am crocheting and the boys watching me...

....waiting for me to drop yarn.

I added a tie to each side to make arm holes.

and a bit of fringe =)
