Juicing: Day 3 and Sewing Projects

Today's juice:

1/2 bunch kale
1 can mandarin oranges
4 carrots
1 lemon
1/2 cucumber

Not as fruity today, and it took Stu a while to drink it, but he did! I think pineapple and apples will factor largely in our juicing regimen.

We did get more produce from the Co-Op today: 2 containers of organic spinach, 1 bag of carrots, 1 bag of green beans, 1 carton of strawberries, and a bag of mixed veggies that I will sautee with garlic and leeks tonight for dinner.

I found a tutorial to alter some shorts I had that were too big in to a nice, dressy, ruffly skirt. I cut up one pair of shorts to test and am stuck because I don't have enough fabric for a ruffle. So now I've got to figure out if I want to put a different fabric on as a ruffle or if I want to alternate white with something else. We'll see. Meanwhile, I've got a khaki and a black pair of shorts that I would love to make into skirts.

There's also a puffy quilt tutorial that looks so easy that I am dying to try it, but I don't have any polyfiber to stuff it with...so I'm going to be searching for some of that at the next craft store I go to.

All this sewing is taking some time away from writing, but I'm still ahead and writing around 2,000 words a day and I'm just getting to the exciting part!

This is why Autumn is the best - I feel good, there's plenty to do, and most of it's fun!
