Creatively Crafty Link Party #64

Welcome to the Creatively Crafty Link Party hosted by the Creative Crafters Blogging Group! You’ve worked hard on your project, and it looks great! Share it with us and get the kudos you deserve! Any and all creative endeavors are welcome…crafts, original writing, recipes, DIY tutorials, you name it!

This is our last full week in the US. This week has been a bit of a whirlwind: catching up with friends we missed earlier in our vacation, putting the finishing touches on a quilt for one grandson and an afghan for the other, completing a few projects with my sister and exploring the usage of the Instant Pot I purchased for my son (verdict: LOVE IT!)

The first meal was a corned beef brisket for St Patrick’s Day followed by beans of all shapes and sizes, hard boiled eggs, and several one pot meals with different types of meat. A favorite was the Greek style chicken thighs with fingerling potatoes shown above. Now, I’ll be honest…I can easily cook many of these meals on the stove but I have been impressed with the flavors and textures of the food coming out of the Instant Pot as well as how easy it is to clean. Plus there’s something to be said for the ability to put a bunch of food into the pressure cooker, sealing it up and walking away until it’s ready. I think my son will get a lot of use out of it.

The Instant Pot is definitely worth the investment, and you can often catch it on sale on Amazon for around $70. (affiliate link) When I bought mine, Amazon recommended a cookbook which I also purchased. There are a ton of great recipes to be found on Pinterest and the internet as well.

Here’s this week’s featured post!

I fell in love with this clever wreath stand from Handan at The Navage Patch. She was inspired by a Hobby Lobby find and combined it with a bunch of odd bits from her craft supply to make an attractive way to display a pretty wreath without a door 🙂 There are tons of great ideas on this blog plus Handan and her husband Greg bring the jokes.

On to the party!

Thanks for sharing your project with us! Keep an eye out as we’ll be sharing posts on various social media channels during the week. We’re growing and that’s a good thing, although as the party gets larger it will be more difficult for me to visit and comment on every link. So I’m counting on you guys to help out. Please try to find time to visit a link or two yourself and congratulate your fellow crafters on a job well done!

There are just a few simple rules:

-Link to a specific post, not your home page.

-Link up something YOU made/wrote/created.

-Giveaways, other link parties, Etsy shops or business links are not accepted.

-Don’t link and run. Try to visit at least one link and show them some love. You may make a new friend.

Please do not pin from these thumbnails. If there’s a post you want to pin please click on the link title to visit the source and pin from their blog. Not a blogger? No problem! Anyone with an Instagram or Facebook account can link to a photo of your completed masterpiece or work in progress. Could you do us a favor and share the party on Twitter before linking up?
