    T Tuesday: handmade edition

    October 29, 2013 - By 

    Thanks for joining me for another edition of T stands for Tuesday brought to us by Elizabeth at Altered book lover.

    Today is my typical kind of Tuesday…busy, busy, busy. I always make time for a good breakfast though. Poached egg on toast is my favorite. With coffee, of course.

    Today though I have a bit of a different schedule. I have my job orientation! I’m very excited to be starting this new phase of my life.

    Over the past week I’ve been very domestic. I cooked a pie pumpkin that yielded 7 cups of pumpkin puree. I’ve made 2 pies, 2 large loaves of pumpkin bread and a batch of pumpkin chia pudding.

    I’ve also been sewing quite a bit. I’ve been upcycling some stained or torn vintage linens. As well as using up scraps for additional projects. More on all that in a later post.

    Miss Gracie has been keeping me company, that is when she isn’t busy watching for critters out the window.

    I’m off to start my day now but I’ll be back later to visit all my blogging friends.

    T Tuesday: Piping hot edition

    red green teaSo glad you stopped by to join me for T stands for Tuesday.

    Now that the weather has turned, I’ve been consuming a lot of tea once my coffee is gone each morning.

    I think I spent a bit too much time in the cold garage painting my Pumpkin Minions…I definitely picked up some sort of bug.  Little J is home sick today with me. I guess I shared…wasn’t that nice of me?

    Did you notice  the shape in the steam?

    Look closely…

    heart tea

     

    Did you see the heart?

    I thought that was super cool…or maybe I should say hot. *grin*

    It’s going to be a really low key day around here.

    T Tuesday: hot soup, hot scoop edition

    October 15, 2013 - By 

    misoThanks for stopping by once again for T stands for Tuesday hosted by the one and only     Dr. E, Queen of Free.

    I made myself a mug of miso not only to warm my hands but my insides as well.

    So that’s the hot soup…what about the hot scoop?

    Well…after 13.5 years or so of being a stay at home mom, I am now gainfully employed. I’ve been added to the sub list for our school district. I still have an orientation to go to but other than that, I’m ready to work again.

    ornaments

    I’ll still be crafting, making art and blogging.

    I had to show some of the ornaments I made last week.  I made some others but they sold and I never photographed them. Bummer!! Although I do know one of the ladies who bought 3 of them…think it would be weird for me to ask her if I could take a picture??
