My largest project
Well, this is my largest project to date (not difficult, just large). I know we will think this fabric is hideous in a somewhat short period of time, but it’s fun for now (especially in our bland bathroom). I thought it would be difficult due to the shape of the shower, but it wasn’t bad [...]
Dear Verizon,
I have two things to share with you: 1. Thank you for the $60 credit you gave us the last two months. I really appreciated the $26 bill. I wasn’t sure what it was for, but I was unsure (ethically) if I should ask you or not. Now that my bill is back to normal, [...]
Napkin time
When we moved, my first sewing project was going to be making napkins. Wellllll….it took me a little while to get around to it. A month or two ago, I made 4 pretty shoddy napkins because I was tired of being out of napkins. Finally last week, I buckled down and made some decent ones [...]
It’s still cold…
…but I’m thinking vegetables. I’ve never started seeds before, but I’m going to try this year. I ordered from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, and they are here! If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just buy seedlings.
Fancy times
Just kidding. Two weekends ago, we headed to the Aspen area (fancy) to ski with my cousin Lea. As all hotel rooms in Aspen are $3-400+, we stayed at the Days Inn in Carbondale. To make the most of our time, we wanted to hit some local hot springs while we were there. Penny Hot [...]
It’s going to happen
I planned to try canning this past year, but moving fell right at the time I would can anything. So this year it is, and today marked the start. Here are my purchases of today: Large dusty canning pot (or whatever you call it): $3 at an insane estate sale. Box of 12 Le Parfait [...]
Weekend with the Mankins
The Mankins visited weekend before last, and we were worried they wouldn’t make it due to the snow in Nashville! Good thing we have a lot more snow in the mountains here so they didn’t miss too much. After their most exciting announcement of their upcoming family addition (baby in August!), we decided to go [...]
It’s a cold February day…
…when you’re down to your last butternut squash. That’s right, folks, we went from to I must admit that a few of them went bad while they sat around, so probably 3-4 went straight to the compost. This guy was the only one that had a major blemish, so I’m a little worried about it, [...]
Fun with friends
Two weekends ago, the Fykes came to visit us. We spent a couple of fun evenings at a condo “near” Winter Park that we got at the YES auction. We spent the first day skiing, but they haven’t had much snow out there in a while. We hit numerous icy spots! Due to the weather, [...]
