Back at it again

So I'm going to be back. I'm going to post more. Probably more about food. And sewing things that I make. I have WAY TOO MANY recipes and things to make bookmarked that I need to get to making (so I can bookmark more things. ha!)

This will happen. Ha.

Gussy Sews - Inspiration Workshop - Week 3

This weeks inspiration is GREEN.

Oh the many ways that this could go. The first that pops into my head is nature. So that is where I shall take this.

I just love this. It's so dreamy. I'd so love to live in a forest and one of these be my bed. It would be amazing.

Oh man. I'd so be ok with living there. It's so cute. Ahh I love it!!

Oh and this would be my backyard. Man I'd be watching so many movies. And just sit out there and read and listen to nature. Oh how it would be beautiful it would be!!

This would be my "vacation" home. Ha. It would just be down the hill. I'm just in love with this place. So peaceful looking!!


Oh and just because I love this.

My sewing room and some unwelcomed guests

Since I'm back at home with my mom I kind of took over her music room and turned it into my sewing room. Ha. Before I moved out I had this huge desk in my room but when I left I didn't take it with me because it was just way to big so I just got me a new small one. When I moved back I took it with me and wanted it in my room instead of the old huge one. We ended up though pulling off the hutch and now I use the bottom part as my sewing table. It's the perfect size and also gives me some more storage.

I love having it in front of the window! It gives me some really nice light to work with during the day! And it's nice to have the open area to be able to have the ironing board right there so I can just turn around and press some stuff down. And I'm slowing taking over the bookshelf with fabric and random stuff. ha!


But today I had some not so welcomed guests in my room. I was just sitting there and this little ant walked in front of my sewing machine. I looked down at the floor and this is what I saw:

Little stinkin ants all over the floor and all over my interfacing that I had on the floor. I had some random scraps and pieces of denim in that box and I looked and they were all in there for some reason too.

I have no idea why they were in that room of all rooms in the house. I don't eat in there so it's not like there were any food crumbs all over the place. And I couldn't find where they came from either. And then my mom came moved a couple things around to try and find where they were coming from. Then we left the room for a second and when we came back they were gone. Ha. So hopefully she scared them away for good!!



that was my day.

Hope you all have a great week!!

nomnomnom

So since my dad was home this weekend and Father's Day is next week but he probably won't be here I decided that it would be a good time to make a nice lunch. For some reason I've really been wanting to make some homemade burger so that's what we had! Ha.

I made cheddar and ranch burgers, homemade fries (they were covered with olive oil (EVOO if you watch Rachel Ray ha) and salt and pepper. Man they turned out so good!!), corn on the cob and we had two things of squash from the garden cut up and grilled! It was pretty tasty. And this morning I had also made some pecan and walnut muffins. I got the recipe from Emma from Food Coma blog. It's actually apple nut muffins but I made them the first time with apples in them and turns out I don't like cooked apples. So I just left them out. They were pretty awesome. She's got some killer recipes on her blog. I love it!!



\Well I was going to upload some pictures but blogger is being dumb. I'll do it later.

I got a squash

I got a squash. I got a squash. I got a squash. Hey hey hey hey!

I just had to show of my first picked squash.

Sorry the picture kind of sucks. I'm no photographer and it's straight from my phone. But it's about 6 inches long & a nice yellow color.

But one of the flowers is covered in little bugs. Not good. I REALLY didn't want to put any kind of bug spray on it. I want these to be organic. But also don't want these bugs to take over and kill my squash. I'm defiantly going to look up some natural ways to get rid of them.

Have any of you dealt w/ bugs and veggie gardens before? How'd you make the bugs go away?

Gussy Sews - Inspiration Workshop

So I'm going to be going along with Gussy Sew's Inspiration Workshop every week. I follow her blog and love it and this looked like fun!

This week the inspiration is - KITCHENS

I thought this would be fun seeing that I'm going into culinary arts. Kitchens will be playing a big part in my near future.

I can't really say that there is a certain style of kitchen that I like. There are a lot that I've seen that are completely different styles that I love.

I love this chalk board! I like to write down different recipes or thing that I want to try. I have a horrible memory! I just decided that I want a chalk board wall in my future now. haha

I love the openness of this kitchen. My dream kitchen definitely needs to be open and airy and bright.

I LOVE the island in this kitchen. That is another MUST in my future kitchen. A big island!!

I definitely want a kitchen that is practical and cute. And lots and lots and lots of cabinets! I don't like to have a lot of stuff on the counter (I get that from my mom. Thanks mom. Haha) so having lots of cabinets to put stuff in would be fantastic! I want too many cabinets to know what to do with. Ha. Well I'd know what I'd do with them...BUY MORE STUFF TO FILL THEM! Ha.
