Copy-Cat

I have been copying other blogger's ideas lately. We all do it: and even though we didn't come up with the idea ourselves, we feel really happy when we see the finished product. Am I right? Tonight I made Chicken, Bacon, Avocado Quesadilla's from kevinandamanda.com.  Even though I was mortified as I cubed the raw chicken, and then disgusted when I cut the avocado, and then almost threw up when I tore the bacon in pieces, and gagged when I sauteed the scallions - they turned out pretty good.  There were just WAY too many smells going on for me to enjoy the cooking process. I have an extremely sensitive nose - I can smell things from miles away. In the end the only thing that grossed me out about eating the quesadilla's was the avocado. That squishy texture was just not doing it for me tonight I guess. Click Here to see Amanda's recipe and a lovely picture.

I also made these cute yarn pom-pom's. I think I love pom-pom's. When I decide to get rid of a few more of my shirts I have great plans for a t-shirt pom-pom which idea I also copied from someone else.  I hung these little guys in the bathroom and when my dear Watson informed me there was something growing in the bathroom, I thought he meant fungus (because that IS growing in our bathroom). He said "no, fuzzy colorful round things." I can't remember which blog I got these from - sorry. 

 This is my favorite. I have always DREAMED of making a wreath and today it is finished. I copied this idea from my sister - in - law over at poppiesatplay.blogspot.com.  The rosettes are made out of red duck tape (duct tape?). I purposely wanted to include some silver roses, but the original plan was to have the silver bunch on the bottom left hand corner of the wreath. I got a hot-gluin' and before I knew it I had already glued red rosettes where I wanted the silver ones. So I had to change my plans. Cute don't you think? And talk about easy! Click Here! to see Andy's tutorial about these awesome duck tape wreaths.
