DIY Hanging Dish Towel- with Pattern!

I made these towels quite a while ago, when I got frustrated at my kitchen hand towels always ending up on the floor! I made these pre-blogging days, so I don't have a tutorial, but I'd like to share where I got the pattern and my end result! Here is the pattern. I just printed it out and it was super easy to follow! You could use Velcro instead of button holes, but I thought the buttons would be sturdier, and I had my mom to help me out so I chose the button route.

I chose some brown striped dish towels I found on clearance at T.J. Maxx, and my fabric came from Joann Fabrics, children's flannel on sale! I think I *maybe* spent $15 total for all four towels!

I typically only hang two at a time, and switch them out as needed to be washed. I LOVE these! If you try it out, please let me know! 

Hold on to your butts!

You might have noticed my website is a little funky today. I am in the process of changing the blog name and registering my domain, so sit tight! I am learning about building websites and HTML but it's a slow process so just bear with me. Happy thursday everyone!

Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

I got a hankering for a chicken pot pie last week. When I was growing up, my mom would make chicken pot pie frequently, and I would tear that pie UP! My mom always made the bisquick biscuit crust, but I decided I wanted to try to make a real, flakey pie crust from scratch. I was nervous about it, because I've never made one before, but I used Ina Garten's crust recipe and it turned out amazing! One substitute however, I used all butter instead of butter/shortening(google said I could!!) and it still came out yummy. I really don't cook with shortening ever, I don't like the trans fats. Also I loosely follwed this recipe for the filling. By loosely I mean I read the recipe and then did whatever I wanted to.
