Day by day

I have been so incredibly busy between working and my yoga teacher training that I have barely knit this past two weeks. A few stitches here, a few stitches there... and I've agreed to knit a shoulder shawl for the BCSPCA auction by the end of the month! What is a girl to do? Anything but knit of course...

Meet the first thing I've ever sewn (and Ryan's mother even let me use her fancy quilting sewing machine!). The breadbag, with added cross-stitch... so much knitting could have been done during the time it took to make these, but how cute are they?!

Homemade Bread and Breadbags

If you can't already tell, Ryan and I purchased a used bread machine on Saturday morning and have been baking up a breaded storm. This lead to the realization that the bread needed a home, and then that linen bags were great ways to store homemade bread. An excuse to craft of course!

Our weekend list:
  • Went to the Victoria Film Festival's screening of "Wild Hunt", rather good until the end, which was so violent I cried into Ryan's shoulder. I, apparently, am not desensitized to violence.
  • Purchasing the aformentioned bread maker.
  • Sewing and adorning the aformentioned bread bags.
  • Ryan's first attempt to sew himself shoes... out of old tire, thick canvas, and hemp string.
  • Ryan's first attempt at pickled eggs.
  • More Pad Thai in my fridge for the week (this is such a good vegan recipe).
  • Attended Ryan's dad's choir concert (The Starlight Pops)
  • Got out to the BCSPCA for some dog walking.

  • A lot of yoga!

  • Wishing you all a wonderful upcoming week!

    You put a lot into your weekend! Do we get to see Ryan's shoes? I'm intrigued by them.
