needle and thREAD - April 26, 2012

My sewing this week isn't really sewing just yet. I have the tutorial for a passport cover, the special Tardis fabric, and The Boy's passport. In just two weeks my boy is traveling to Belize as part of a biological research course he's taking at his college. It's a really cool course and students design their own research project, collect data in the rain forest in Belize, and return home to finish up their papers and crunch their data.




This week I added a new book to my reading pile - Paleo Comfort Foods, Homestyle Cooking for a Gluten-Free Kitchen by Julie and Charles Mayfield. There is a bit of reading in it. The authors explain the Paleo diet and help you to assemble needed kitchen tools and ingredients. But it's primarily a cookbook - a very good cookbook!

  1. I have been seeing a lot about the Paleo diet lately and it has peaked my interest. This looks like a book I will want to look up. Thanks for sharing it.

    1. Natalie, it's really a nice book. I also put together a post last week that has lots and lots of links out to Paleo and Primal blogs. I started my research with blogs and then branched out into library books.

      Two days ago I also started the Whole 30 which is a great way to begin eating Paleo style. You can find info about the Whole 30 at http://whole9life.com/2012/01/whole-30-v2012/

    1. Lisa, my son is a huge fan of Dr. Who and when I decided that I'd sew him up a passport cover I searched high and low to find a fun fabric for him. When I saw this over at Spoonflower I knew it was "the one". :)

    1. Traveling is so challenging sometimes I thought a homemade passport cover might remind him of home while he's gone. :)

      I'm glad you'll be able to use it as well!

  5. Great idea on the pillow cases! I think I might have to order some more. He'd love a Dr. Who pillow case. :)

About Me

My Photo
A 40 something mama meandering through life with an eclectic 21 year old boy-man (the boy), an 8 year old girl (big girl) who is a ball of lightening, and a 4 year old girl (baby girl) who brightens our lives with her smiles. I'm grounded by my 40 something husband and partner (the hubster) whose quirky mannerisms brighten my days.

I've been a single mama, married mama, divorced mama, career mama, SAHM, and WAHM. There was a short time of my life when I wasn't a mama, but that was a LONG time ago!

I hold an AA, BS, and MA and most say I'm wasting them by devoting my intellectual capabilities and energy in the nurture of the wee ones that I've been entrusted to raise, but there is nothing else I'd rather be doing these days. :)

I love hearing from readers, so please share your thoughts and leave comments, too!
