quinoa

My New Roots - How to Cook Quinoa from My New Roots on Vimeo.

i saw this on sara mcneil's blog & since my healthy parents had some in the pantry, i decided to make some quinoa this morning! it's quite interesting & tasty too.i've been sewing all weekend! i've missed sewing. & since my sewing machine is still at my parent's home, i rarely get to sew when i want to. but this weekend i was determined to make something for missa's birthday : ) i made her some bunting & i think she liked it! i've also been working on some tote bags & little pouches! (i've misplaced my camera :/ so these are all from my cellphone!) happy easter everyone!

replies:

natalie: yay for sure! i love flowers : )

inside the cabinet of wonder: YOU ARE AWESOME NICOLA....sorry...just needed to say that back to you : )

allison: haha! yeah i was a bit caught off guard with that part too. but i saw it as her way of release. a tad strange, but that's just her thing i suppose.

amy: yum! you need to post some photos of your bento creations!!

holly: yay for my african violet! oh it IS him! i just looked it up too : ) i only knew him from the tudors : ) but i see he was also in a bunch of movies i've seen, including the count of monte cristo! so, i capture the castle isn't so much cute but more....scandalous & a tad tragic...i would say. haha i can't decide if i like it or not! but i like the clothes & the castle etc... let me know what you think.

plants & castles

i'm at my parent's home for easter weekend : ) when i got to the house, i was so excited because my african violet was blooming for the first time! it is so pretty! beautiful two-toned pink flowers. i've had that plant for probably nine years & it has never bloomed before. i was so happy : )
so, i finished i capture the castle. interesting movie. it is a bit scandalous at times : ) & i really loved the clothes, colors, & scenery. this may be too many photos of it, but i liked how they looked so i decided to share them anyway.now i am going to work on some homework until my parents are ready to go out for dinner. if you see the movie, let me know what you thought of it! i can't really decide how i liked it...haha. if you have netflix it's on watch instantly : )
about last post's bento box, i want to make one like this:

happy earth day & weekend!!
