I know spring is coming because the light is changing, the low winter sun is giving way to brighter beams. I know spring is coming because the scent of hyacinth welcomes you as you enter the grocery stores. I know spring is coming because the snow is getting soft in a way that means the earth will soon be warmer. I know spring is coming because the river is flowing a little quicker than it Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-53558240638678436982015-02-28T22:01:00.000-05:002015-03-12T22:01:59.896-04:00In Pictures: February 2015

Well here we are a little over a week into 2015. We've reached that cold and snowy part of winter - the part I love best of all. It is now in the snow and cold that we welcome the New Year. Did you make a resolution or two for this year? Maybe you like to have a motto or a bible verse that you use to shape your year. Personally I like words. A lot of people like to pick a single word to act Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-83835139437802041552014-09-04T21:51:00.000-04:002014-09-04T21:51:23.421-04:00In Pictures: August 2014

Today was one of those really good regular days, so I just had to record it.
A latte & almond muffin from Sweetwaters to start my day.
Rain that reminded me of the Rain, Rain, Rain song from Winnie the Pooh.
Taking the back roads out to visit my cousin and seeing all the beautiful farms out her way.
Snapping green beans while visiting with my cousin.

So I might have just justified spending an hour taking online quizzes by telling myself I would write a post about them. Yep that is all the thought I put into this. But you know what these quizzes were like totally 100% true so maybe they are on to something.

Way back in the olden days of blogging (2002-2006) I had a web log on Xanga, it was mostly filled with my moaning about homework and my fan-girling about music and books, so basically what I do now. I left the waters of Xanga for more "legitimate" blogging a long time ago, but I've decided to resurrect one of my favorite features from the old blog: "Ten Things". It will be a Sunday post with Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-10371930628655537352014-07-11T17:28:00.001-04:002014-07-11T17:28:59.500-04:00Live: Summer 2014
I think I might be taking this slow blogging thing a little too far,a month and a half might be a little long. But I've been summering and it has been wonderful. So I thought I'd share my Summer 2014 Must List. I know the summer is already half over, but I think it is still worth putting pen to paper or type to screen and getting a little list going.
My first must do this summer is take Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-88378556654965861302014-06-01T23:05:00.000-04:002014-06-01T23:05:02.899-04:00Live: Back At It
Soooo, I took a little (long) break from blogging. At first it was unintentional and then it was because I wasn't really sure I wanted to write in this space anymore. But here's the thing, I kinda missed it here. I missed having a way to share what I'm interested, the books I'm loving, the things I'm making and the food I'm baking. However I want to come back with Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-36500494483766373342014-02-20T21:52:00.003-05:002014-02-20T21:52:38.948-05:00Change: The Living Room Is Almost Done (finally)
I picked up this painting from a yard sale that benefits the local historical society.
I'm even into the chipping.
It has finally happened. After being in my house for 4 years the living room has been painted. And all I can say is: why did I wait so long? I can't believe that I lived with that horrid light and color sucking purple for so long.

Happy Galentine's Day Friends! I made you a cake (well okay, I made myself a cake, but I'm going to tell you about it)! This is what I like to call a cheater cake, in other words a dressed up box cake. And it tastes just like dipping a glazed cake donut into a cup of coffee, so if that is your thing you are going to really love my Donut Shop Cake.

Happy Friday friends! Maybe you've reached the end of your week and your brain is a little fried or maybe you are up in the middle of the night with a cranky baby or maybe you are curled up on the couch avoiding the cold. wherever you are this Friday I hope you are well.

This past week I ended up at the mall with my mom and realized that these tassels are everywhere so it seemed like a good time to pull out this project from back in November. This is a fun, quick and easy project that you can shop for and make in an afternoon.
Supplies:
Faux Leather
Large Split Ring
Glue (I just used some super glue I already had)
Scissors

Okay friends lets just get this out of the way, 2013 was not my favorite. Let's just say that I think I cried more days than not last year, so I'm really glad to let it go. But as Mr. Lewis wrote "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind" (my January theme). So it is onward and upward to better things for 2014. This year I'm being intentional and setting focus Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-20870445840720648762013-12-05T12:15:00.000-05:002013-12-05T12:40:00.596-05:00Live: Lost
Sunday night, as I was driving home from my mom and dad's house, I was thinking about how pleased I was with my weekend. I didn't get everything on my to do list done, but I got close. I mostly finished my of my Christmas shopping, I had set up the tree and done a little more decorating, I had spent hours helping my mom sew costumes, I'd had a few great meals with family, I enjoyed sleeping Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-65884101584271506242013-10-09T15:00:00.000-04:002013-10-09T15:00:00.170-04:00Make: All Of My Days Baby Blanket
I keep trucking along when it comes to making baby blankets for the baby boom happening around me this year. I am kinda behind and have (let's face facts) kinda given up on finishing any of them before a baby is born, but I'm rather pleased with the way the 2013 blankets have been turning out. I worked this one up for my cousin Hannah's baby boy and it was delivered to him way back in June, Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-47965508829267105822013-10-01T16:30:00.000-04:002013-10-01T16:30:00.252-04:00October 2013
Here's the thing, I am an unapologetic October lover. I love the crisp air and the way the sunlight is extra golden, I can't get enough of fresh apple cider and pumpkin EVERYTHING, I get giddy when the leaves start to turn bright red, yellow or orange and when it is finally time to wear tights and wool sweaters. I have high hopes for this October, I'm looking forward to making my favorite Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-88148506756704381562013-09-28T21:27:00.002-04:002013-09-28T21:27:30.798-04:00In Pictures September 2013

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16021466454981790216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707265765744373148.post-29129298703866031442013-09-03T23:57:00.000-04:002013-09-03T23:57:00.853-04:00Live: Take Me Out To The Ball Game!
I'm trying to squeeze every last drop out of summer.
Even though this morning I could feel fall, I'm still soaking up the last little bits of summer. Back in mid August, my dear friend Lynn came into town and suggested that a bunch of us head down to a Tiger's game. And it was just a totally great night. Fun friends, yummy food, the seventh inning stretch and some really good baseball.
