TGIF is now SLIF
SLIF?
Take a guess!
I love acronyms, maybe too much so, but they make me happy.
TGIF!
What are you doing crafty this weekend?
Here in the erra studio, I'm afraid it is not a making weekend, but a studio re-vamp weekend.
Why- well...lets go back...
Mini me background if you don't know
*grew up in a small biz family- art and craft supply store
*grandparents were both artists
*grandma had thousands (ok, maybe hundreds) of unfinished projects, as well as supplies, at her untimely death of 69
*grandpa passed away this winter
*nothing had really been dealt with in the house....gulp
So, we closed on the house last week and for everything that wasn't obviously just junk...we transported it into my workshop/our basement (sorry to my man of the house <3)
Like this wicked awesome set of shears....!

So over the next few weeks I'll share the progress, the awesome vintage finds (which some will also be listed at www.etsy.com/shop/erravintage) and the fun creations I come up with gramma goods!
Like this wicked awesome set of shears....!
Happy Craftin'!

Boy, what a summer so far...!
Just wanted to share a guest post I wrote with all of you for Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership's- Project Pop-Up, Night Market.
The really exciting part? I have been the only person at all of them! Not food, organizers, nada, just erra!
So stay tuned for Night Market VI on Sept 27!!!

It was only a year ago that Pittsburgh had not yet experienced a night market. And me? I'd never heard of such a thing. When I did learn of it, I'm pretty sure I squealed with excitement! An artisan and food market that takes over a parking lot in town after work hours- sign me up!

Erra Creations Loves the Night Market and wants to see you tonight!
by Nicole Bloch, Erra Creations
I love Downtown Pittsburgh! I used to work Downtown and now jump at every chance I can to go into town for music, food, theater, art and now shopping with the awesome start of Pop-Up shops like Boutique 208! Besides the art in the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's quarterly Gallery Crawl, has always been one of my favorite affairs to attend because of the vibrant people who light up our city at night.

I am the chick behind Erra Creations and I am a born and raised Pittsburgh artist. I love to tinker with just about anything and have become known for my wares from reclaimed bicycle parts! I do shows and events all over in the north east- and can honestly say the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership's Pop-Up: Night Market is one of my 3 favorite events of all time! In addition to the artists who come to show their work, there is amazing food-music-people! Whenever I am asked why I love it so, I reply- It's the best parking lot party ever!
I am so honored that Erra Creations has been the only artist at every Night Market- and hope to see you this Friday night for Night Market V!

Creating with Leftovers
Now...I normally just talk about making wares and jewelry, but I LOVE creating in our kitchen too. It also one of the easiest and most fun places to be crafty!
Since we just purchased our first home, budgeting is key! And waste not, want not is my philosophy, so budgeting and not wasting are more relevant now than ever!
Silly as it sounds, the one thing that always seems to have bits and pieces leftover is beef! I've been saving the leftover scraps since we moved and now have a pretty good stash--what to make?! (and yes...casseroles are our favorite for 3 reasons. Super easy, super freezable, and we love eating out of bowls!
Here are my favorites from my good 'n faithful websites :
Leftover Meat Casserole
(Photo from food.com)
http://www.food.com/recipe/leftover-meat-casserole-69413
Opted out of the onion, and added minced mushrooms to the mix (have to add and hide veggies at every chance!)
Score: Pretty Yummers (4/5)
Leftover Meat and Potato Casserole
(Photo from yummly.com)
http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Leftover-Meat-_-Potato-Casserole-Recipezaar?columns=5&position=6/36
Obviously- didn't have 8- 2oz slices of roast- I just grabbed a bunch!
..and Trader Joe's Gravy, makes it work in a pinch!
Score: Indeed Yummers (4.5/5)
And leftover taco meat...that was easy- NACHOS!!!
http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeId=170891
And a weight watchers recipe at that!
By far the "best looking" of the bunch. Lots of chopping (thanks for helping food processor!)
And good enough for guests
Score: Woot! (5/5)
Enjoy doing some cooking and creating!!
Cheers~
