Meal Plan {07.07.2013} + Pillow Swap recap

4 Replies

Remember last month, we had a pillow swap and I made Sea Spray pillow. My partner loved her pillow, and since I was not able to attend she picked up my pillow from my swap partner – Sarah from Stitching and Bacon. Here is my wonderful woodpecker pillow, I so love, sitting in my sunroom:

My favorite part is the backing Godzilla fabric, which is cool 🙂IMG_7794

Meal Plan {29.06.2013} + Carrot Raisin Salad

2 Replies

This week has been a little difficult – in total over 4 days, I have spent 24 hours in the airport due to cancelled flights to and from New York. Very tedious. Good news is, I got two rows of hexagons almost completed.

In desperate need of vegetables (airports are not the best for healthy food)…Today we are having coleslaw and Carrot raisin salad. The cabbages and carrots came from our garden.

Wow, this week was a crazy busy at work. I did not get to work on much at home and I definitely missed some blogging. I really missed doing the finish it Friday this week….isn’t funny how breaking a routine can be so disorientating 🙂

DAY BREAKFAST DINNER
Saturday Egg+Ham+ Hashbrown Salad; Hot dogs (my son has his first friend over for a sleepover)
Sunday Bircher Muesli Roast Chicken + Potatoes + Vegetables

Tuesday English Muffin + Banana + Almond Butter Grill + Vegetable Stack
Wednesday Bircher Muesli Omelet or Frittata
Thursday English Muffin + Marmite Vegetable Stew
Friday Berry + Banana + Spirulina Smoothie Sandwiches (while traveling to the beach for Memorial Day)
