too much sewing


I've been living at my sewing machine lately, so I might as well make this pretty flower I've had bookmarked for awhile. It's meant for a ring pillow, but I want it for a brooch or accent on a handbag or skirt...something.

lunchbots

Looking for lunchbox options for my soon-to-be-kindergartner, and came across lunchbots. Now, would they make it home everyday? That's the question.

I want this camera so badly! This minty green version is especially delicious.

Then I can take fun pictures like these:

Ahhh, if only I had the time to make these neat-o sandwiches for kids, they might actually end up eating them!

green smoothies

photo found here




I really love smoothies. I mean, really. I could practically live on a liquid diet with them. So when I came across this page, all about green smoothies, I was intrigued. I have since adopted a morning ritual of making myself a green smoothie for breakfast. It's really filling, takes seconds, and is oh so yummy! Even my kids love drinking them - although these are just in addition to their usual breakfast. All the recipes from this particular site consist of only fruits & veggies, no yogurt, no milk, nothing else. So I get in 3-4 fruit and veggie servings to start off my day, and have actually noticed a difference in my waistline since doing this!

Favorite combos:
strawberry-banana-spinach (+/-romaine)
apple-spinach (or kale)
mango-spinach
pear-peach-spinach

I don't, however, like celery added in. It makes the whole thing taste weird, and makes my tongue almost feel numb.

the uniform project


I am having fun looking at all the creative outfits on the uniform project!
She wears the same dress everyday for 365 days, but adds different accessories and other clothing for totally different looks...all for a good cause.
