This pillow is....

Mine!

I have a weird complex with sharing pillows.

I also don't like it when pillowcases don't match....

So I decided to stake a claim :)

'yours' to follow....

Happy fall!

So for some reason when I think of fall.. Reds and oranges and
pumpkins and the crisp wonderfulness in the air... I also think of
baking. So, in honor of fall... I made banana raisin bread! From
scratch!

Recipe as follows:

2-4 mashed ripe bananas

1/3 cup melted butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking soda

pinch of salt

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix mashed bananas and butter in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt...and add flour. Last...add raisins (if you like!). Pour mixture into a 4 x 8 loaf pan, and bake for 1 hour.

today was a bad day.

so i went thrift shopping on my lunch break. here are my finds!! a big fat yellow brooch, some teensy silver shell earrings, and some white metal bamboo hoops. yay! the background is a find from over the weekend...not secondhand but super awesome jonathan adler placemats that i got for- that's right folks- $1 each. better day!

triumph!!

i finally got my sewing machine to work. it has been an uphill battle...usually involving three or so hours, some tears and frustration, and my poor husband trying to fix a sewing machine.

but last night...I FIGURED IT OUT. MYSELF. yayyyy!!

so that little splotch of stitching says 'hi'....my pillowcase project is hopefully soon to be completed and up on the blog!
