Heart-Stuffed Shells in Ricotta Sauce

By Elizabeth On May 17, 2013 · Add Comment · In Pasta, Recipes
I have made this Heart-Stuffed Shells in Ricotta Sauce twice since receiving Smitten Kitchen’s Cookbook for Christmas and it is one of the best things I’ve cooked in a long time (let’s just say I’ve felt fairly uninspired on the cooking front these days). It seems like it would be overly rich and heavy, but [...]

summer knitting

By Elizabeth On May 14, 2013 · Add Comment · In Crafts, Yarn
I’ve been working on my sweater for the KAL and making some good progress! The yarn is very soft and lovely – I think it will be nice for the summer. It’s pretty quick knitting but a little more difficult to bring along to the playground. Which lead me to making some toddler socks for [...]

Sharpie Mug

By Elizabeth On May 12, 2013 · Add Comment · In Crafts
I’ve seen this idea floating around pinterest for awhile and it seemed to good to be true: sharpie, white mug, customize and bake in the oven for permanent results. Turns out, a regular sharpie IS a little too good to be true. But there were alternatives… I  bought some oil based sharpies (more like a [...]

Little Cable Knee Highs – Done!

By Elizabeth On April 30, 2013 · 3 Comments · In Crafts, Yarn
Can you believe it? I finished knitting a pair of socks! I am very happy with how they turned out – they fit PERFECTLY. Although, I love the irony of finishing a pair of knee high WOOL socks right as the heat of summer is about to descend on central Texas. Ha. It may be [...]

Painting Poppies

By Elizabeth On April 29, 2013 · Add Comment · In Art
This weekend, I had the opportunity to go to a poppy painting class with a group of my friends from the church plant. It was a great time of hanging out and expressing a little bit of pent up creativity! In one of my many former lives, I was a high school student in an [...]

Sophia Sweater

By Elizabeth On April 16, 2013 · 3 Comments · In Crafts, Yarn
I may have found a sweater winner! This Sophia sweater is worsted weight which is probably a good idea for a first sweater! It seems all the other patterns I love are fingerling weight which would take forever, which probably isn’t a good idea for a first knit garment. Also, it’s slouchy, which would cover [...]

I made a sock!

By Elizabeth On April 10, 2013 · 3 Comments · In Crafts, Yarn
One down, one to go (and already started)! It fits beautifully too. (You’ll have to wait for me to finish the second one to get a modeling session.) I used Jeny’s surprising stretchy bind off for the ribbing at the top, and just as the name suggests, it is extremely stretchy (and surprisingly easy)! And [...]

Bread & Wine

By Elizabeth On April 8, 2013 · 6 Comments · In Book, Recipes, Reviews
Y’all. I got to be an advanced reader for Shauna Niquist’s new book, Bread & Wine. This is my first time to be an advanced reader! I can’t tell you how honored and excited I feel about it all. Shauna’s books have been speaking to me for a long while. One of my facebook quotes [...]

this whole marriage thing

By Elizabeth On March 28, 2013 · 6 Comments · In Faith, Life
I’ve been watching this week’s marriage drama unfold on my facebook feed. It has been deeply disturbing to me as people I love on both sides take hard definitive stances – some advocating love, some hate, some religion. So much division. If America truly were a ‘Christian nation’, as so many would like to think [...]

sweater knitting

By Elizabeth On March 26, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Crafts, Yarn
Lately, I’ve become obsessed with the idea of knitting myself a sweater. I know I have a couple other projects to finish before this would start, but I keep finding myself dreaming about what I could make. I want something very classic, in a color that I like but won’t go out of style, but [...]
