Spring is Here?

It doesn't really feel like spring, more like late October.  Right now I'm becoming more obsessed with healthy eating and I really want to go to a Farmer's Market-despite the fact that I really want pizza and burgers, and hot dogs, and stuff I just can't eat without having an allergic reaction or getting a migraine.  Since I'll be getting married in a couple of months I have to figure out where to buy what I can handle for the best price.  Which is why I can't wait to go to a farmer's market and spend some time this summer canning for the winter; did you know that yellow #5 (I think is the number) is added to pickles!!!! Yes, I'll be pickling my own hopefully this summer.  I want the headaches, pain, and breathing problems to stop without my dying of starvation-is that really too much to ask?  Project #1 (after getting out my sewing machine) is making grocery bags, I have my patterns and some material already.  I have several different styles I like plus there is an insulated one.  I like my 31 bags, but there's something about making a bag with the print you want that makes limited shopping more enjoyable, and I do enjoy grocery shopping!!

Spring is...

Spring is just around the corner! I can feel it peeking out at me from behind a tree.  I'm so excited about gardening season, it's almost here. Time to pull out my cook books-all the gluten free ones I've been collecting since two Doctors put me on the diet in the autumn.  It's been really hard, financially, but with thoughts of my own garden I have a new excitement and hope I will actually be able to eat foods that won't make me feel yucky.  I'm also trying to save up for canning supplies and refrigerator storage for when I can start harvesting.  I have both on our wedding registries and I'm super excited.

I have managed to purge my crafting supplies of seasonal things I don't like and haven't used in years, especially Christmas.  I bought a ScrapRack and I have most everything on it, I ran out of pages and dividers, but those should be in Wednesday-along with a small travel box so I can carry my things from house to house until I get married this summer and aren't commuting back and forth anymore.  If I like the small box I'm going to get a bigger one. They look great for car travel because it's plastic and the top can be used as a lap desk.  When It comes in and I use it I'll let you know my opinion.

Nail Polish and Sewing Patterns

I went shopping yesterday and found nail polish the exact color of my going away dress for my wedding in June.  It was the exact color of the dress! But alas when I painted my nails I didn't think they looked that great, at least not for a wedding :-)

I also found some patterns for clothes and bags for the honeymoon (and after) on sale for $3.00 a pattern.  I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to set up my sewing machine and start sewing!!

2013

It's been awhile....and I'm getting ready for a wedding!!! So I may not be on here much.  I'm doing a fairly good job of keeping a record of my diet and exercise-just not exercising nor eating very healthy :-(  My New Year resolution for the year is to read all f Agatha Christie's books in the order that they were published and I've finished the first two.  This may take a few years.  I also want to purchase hard back copies as I read them to have my own collection, but the only "original" cover hardback editions can be bought on Great Britain's Amazon site :-(  All things considered 2013 has been pretty good so far :-D

Thanksgiving

I waded through Christmas decorations and Christmas music and I finally found Thanksgiving.  I'm already sick of Christmas so we'll see how the next month goes.

Third Time's The Charm...

I've started my third crafting Get Organized Challenge I hope I can get past week 5 this time.  I organized about 1/3 of my craft stuff the last two times, I'm hoping for at least 1/3 of what's left to be organized by the end of the 8 week challenge.  Wish me luck!

Gluten Free

In July I was put on a Wheat free, gluten free, dairy free diet by my doctor.  As hard as it is to find food that doesn't have those in them-you wouldn't believe how much stuff has gluten-I feel so much better!
