This week's Friday Favorite post will be a bit scanty, folks. I've been dealing with a bad head cold all week - the kind that leaves you exhausted just by standing up long enough to take a shower. But between the [lots of] napping, soups, citrus, and meds, I've still...
For this week's Friday Favorites, I present my crafty wishlist! Things I want to help with my own crafts, or things other crafters made that I lust after. OK, mostly the latter. 🙂 1. Bernette 46 sewing machine by Bernina.How cute is this machine?!? via 2....
I have fairly long legs compared to the size of my waist, so finding jeans or pants that fit right can be a bit of a problem. Generally, if they fit through the thigh and legs and are long enough, they are too big in the waist. What this means is that I end up wearing...
This gem of a recipe is from my younger sister, Marisa. She made it at a family Thanksgiving in Michigan years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. This is WAY better than the traditional northern version with marshmallows - blech. It gets rave reviews at any potluck...
If you didn't already know, one of the things on my 28 Before 28 list is to bake a pie completely from scratch, crust and all. I'm proud to say that this item has officially been crossed off of the list. This past weekend, I baked a strawberry-rhubarb pie, and while...
I'm pretty low on energy today, and I think I'm getting sick. It would be nice to curl up in bed with my boyfriend, but he doesn't get back from Korea for another week. Amazingly, our puppy Sienna (who is usually far too full of energy to cuddle for more than 5...
So. You're probably wondering: who is Sam Phillips? Up until a few months ago, I was unfamiliar with her name, if not her voice and music. If you've ever watched Gilmore Girls, then you have an idea of her sound, because she wrote and scored music for that show for 7...
This is a recipe I learned from my mother, and it is one of my absolute favorites. These muffins are quick to make, and just completely delicious. I tend to make them more in the fall/winter (hence this being my October Follow Fest post! - see below recipe for more...
Life sort of went insane with freelancing work this week, the result of which is I didn't have time/opportunity to bake and take pictures of the recipe thing I wanted to share. And since next week I'll have my mom in town, and be down in San Antonio for my sister's...
This Friday Favorite is a little bittersweet. I have been on Goodreads since July of this year (I know, late to the game) but didn't stumble across the Bookswap they host until a few short weeks ago. And I was hooked. It's an awesome setup. You list books you own...
