Good post today about the "Pantry Eating Adventure" over on Money Saving Mom. I went grocery shopping today - my list was not the best it could have been, my menu plan is still a bit jumbled up, and I think I'm really still in "stockpile" mode. For instance, a yogurt that I like (and… Continue reading Pantry Check In
Crochet practice
Today I pulled out my crochet books and hooks. I have signed up for several squares for different Schuyler Blankets - I would love to have a "signature", go-to style block - one I could stockpile or know reliably the # to cast on / with which needles / etc. I also want to make… Continue reading Crochet practice
Pantry Eating Idea
I've got this challenge on my mind. There's a lot of careful consideration going in to my grocery-shopping-list for this week - there are some good meat sales that will allow me to stock up, a bunch of coupon inserts and online, and I've got my new cookbooks. But wouldn't you know it - a… Continue reading Pantry Eating Idea
Around the House Meme
PeacefulKnitter posted an "Around the House" photo meme on her blog and I've decided to play along, as my knitting right now is not ready for prime time as they say. So, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours…just copy the list, take a stroll through your house one day, and post on… Continue reading Around the House Meme
Ambitions.
2010 is going to be HUGE, I just know it. I also know I've got big plans right at the moment (right before life happens and shifts my priorities), and I tend to take on way more than I should, and I tend to jump right in, and I know I stink at sticking to… Continue reading Ambitions.
Goodbye 2009, I Want A Goat (dot com)
This is copied in its entirety from Craftivism.com - I love mash-ups (even before Glee brought them to the front) and I really want to give a goat. Goodbye 2009, I Want A Goat (dot com): "Here we are at another closing of a decade. Thankfully, unlike last decade, we aren’t worrying about technology crumbling… Continue reading Goodbye 2009, I Want A Goat (dot com)
Retrospective.
I really love the end of each year. I love when looking back or being reminded of events that happened in the year. December's end always feels so far away from January's beginning, or even June's middle. And now, it's the end of a decade - so there's even more to look back on. Let's… Continue reading Retrospective.
Dachshund Noses
Jackson hasn't gotten much play in the blog lately - yesterday he tolerated my playing around with the camera. Macro / SuperMacro + Dachshund Noses = fun photos!Made with BigHugeLabs.com Mosaic Maker. He's been a good dog lately - barky, as always, but it's what he does. He's very good with Lorelai - loves when… Continue reading Dachshund Noses
What’s in your cupboard?
I spotted this idea on the web - Pantry Challenge - so from January 1-31, 2010, the challenge is to attempt to avoid grocery shopping as much as possible and will be blogging what we're feeding our families, creative recipes we're concocting, and how we're pulling this whole thing off. The "We" being MoneySavingMom and… Continue reading What’s in your cupboard?
Casting On
I'm still playing catch up from Christmas - there's a lot to be done and somehow, with the approach of 2010 just days away it feels like time is running out even faster! I know that's just a feeling, but funny enough it also doesn't stop me from casting on new projects. Casting on brings… Continue reading Casting On
