cooking :)

So yall know I have been trying to be healthier, part of that is cooking my own food.

Right now I have black beans soaking over night, the rice I will be taking for the week is cooling with the lid on, the waffles I premade are frozen and ready, and I am trying my hand at making wheat bread at home for the first time ever! It's a honey wheat too! I hope it turns out :)

Before I did all of that I cleaned the entire kitchen, from the counters down, dishes, floors, counters, fridge, stove, all of it cleaned up... Good times :)

Been really great with my food diary too. Happy to say that I am doing well! Yay!

Stitch'N'Bitch north Austin chapter, being founded by.......

Allison Brewer and I are starting the North Austin Stitch'n'bitch!!! I am so excited :) we haven't registered with stitchnbitch.org yet because we want to scout out the best place to do it. So far we have met three times, all at *it's a grind* on parmer lane, terrible service, loud blenders, annoying teenaged baristas... But they have wingbacked padded chairs!!! The most amazing invention ever, try knitting one time in a wing backed chair that is properly stuffed, you will be caught for life, they are that amazing :)
So Sunday we are going to the domain on Braker and testing out the steeping room, to see how that works, I am skeptical, because hello I'm a fatty, and this is the domain ( snooty as hell *mall* that I bet has flimsy short backed uncomfortable chairs), but I am going to try it!

Anyways yall have a good day, I'm off to sleepy sleep land night!

hand knit Christmas gifts :)

So i decided this year to hand knit all my Christmas presents, thus far I have completed one that shall be forever hidden as it is a failure that no amount of frogging can correct, and 5 full well done scarves, and 1 half finished scarf. :) they are beautiful in my opinion, what do you all think? ( posting from my phone, please forgive typos and grammar)

These pictures are not all of them, deleted some of the pics, before I blogged about it.
So anyways I am stoked yall, I have finally gotten on board the knitting train, and like I said earlier, I'm going to get a set of circs and nice fat wooden dpns, and try my hand at mittens ( harhar) and put my head to making a hat as well ( I'm so punny).

Will post more in next blog about everything else :)
