Photos: Thanksgiving 2013
Happy Thanksgiving!! Even though it was yesterday…we’re a little late. This was the first time we (or I, rather) attempted to take some family photos. Thanksgiving 2013 Setting up – Lily is supervising. The tripod was a gift from a very kind old man who we purchased some tools off of – I highly recommend a tripod if you’re evening thinking of using your camera’s self timer. First shots – not too bad. Happy everything is in focus! Second shot (well, each shot took 10…

It’s that time of year again – fall. The leaves fall, the air gives you a chill, and everything pumpkin comes out to play.

This juice packs a punch – perfect for a fresh start morning. All fruit with a bit of parsley…and ginger – I don’t think ginger is a fruit! Fruity Juicy Juice it up! A great thing about this juicer, you don’t need to cut the veggies or fruit up very much…saves time! This one was so good. The green apple and the lemon add some sourness to it…mmm. Green goodness.

More Pillows
It’s pillow time, again! About two months ago I had a tutorial on pillow covers – it was a house warming gift for my brother. My husband saw them before I shipped them out east and he loved them. Now, we had pillows on our own couch that I made, but they weren’t that great. It was the first time I tried using a zipper and I sort of failed. They worked for a while – about 8 months. The less than par pillows were…
