Sewing, Salads and Pinteresting- oh my!

Posted by egriffiths on Friday, November 4th, 2011

Hey Girl. Yeah you, like Hey Girl, like this. Isn’t Pinterest awesome?? It brings us funny things like that. Oh Gosling, you so handsome.

Anywayyyyyyssss. This week I finally made a pledge to myself to be healthy again. And I don’t want any fat face pictures for Spain, so there you go. Oh Spain… Did I tell you I’m going to Spain????? Well I am. Alicante and Barcelona for one whole week right after Thanksgiving and with my bestest girl cousins. CAN’T WAIT.

So in an effort to get that healthiness into gear, and in addition to two awesome trips to the gym this week, I made this twice. Arugula, roasted sweet potatoes and goat cheese, with lots of red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt and peppa.

Now on to the sewing… I went poking around the pattern section at Joann’s one night and found a cute baby girl one for a shirt with rick rack trim. It said easy on the $3 package so I was sold! Go for the jump to see my handiwork…

Cowboy Cookies and Renegade Sewing

Posted by egriffiths on Friday, October 7th, 2011

Holllllaaaaa friends. It’s Friday!!! Thank the dear sweet Lord that I have made it through these two past weeks. I’m not going to lie, it has been rough. With the boot, inability to exercise, coming to terms with 29 and my singledom…alot has been on my mind. There is this pin on pinterest and I keep going back to it. When I was young, at 29 I thought I would have been married with babies, but alas I am not and I need to appreciate that I do have alot of things already going for me: a really great job where I feel fulfilled and productive and amazing friends and family who would do anything for me. And I have my hobbies… baking, crafting, and running! Hopefully the running will come back sooner than later. But I am so thankful I got my butt in gear tonight and got the former two things going on up in here!

Like these cookies, that will be delivered to a certain nameless person tomorrow evening. They came from the Baked Explorations cookbook, a book I should be pulling from more often! Those men know how to make delicious and creative baked goods. And after reading this post I agree that they are perfectly OCD in how they explain things, and I appreciate that so much! These cookies are the perfect combination of salty and sweet and chewy and crispy. Now about that crafting bit.. last Sunday my dear sweet Auntie Martha got me a sweet Kenmore sewing machine (I have named her Sally!) and finally I got to use it! So go check out my baking and sewing projects…

Friday Fabulosity with Pinterest

Posted by egriffiths on Friday, June 24th, 2011

Happy Friday Folks! So today is the day when I am officially departing from my previous blog topics. I have no food to share with you, so instead I will share other things that have been making me happy!

Tonight I’m going out to dinner with Alayne so maybe I’ll blog about that next week but Alayne has jumped on the Pinterest train with me and I am so excited for that!

It was about two months ago when I realized that all of that wedding inspiration I had been secretly hiding could come to a place where I could view everything visually in a collage. I went and pinned all of those links and poof! I had a wedding pinterest! Of course now there is positively no wedding to plan, but I have started using my pinterest board to collect awesome quotations, really good home decorating and diy projects, and other random things I want to buy like nail polish and clothes. So check out some of my pins below, and e-mail me here if you want a Pinterest invitation, and click here to follow all of my boards!
