Let goooo

"Where do you go with your broken heart in tow
What do you do with the left over you
And how do you know, when to let go"

Now, now is the time to let go.
And as for what I will do with the left over me? Well I guess we will just have to wait and see...

Let go

"Where do you go with your broken heart in tow
What do you do with the left over you
And how do you know, when to let go"

Now, now is the time to let go.
And as for what I will do with the left over me? Well I guess we will just have to wait and see...

My new song obsession

I go outside
Ask the air if it would like to hide
Take a deep breath
Walk inside my prize

In my lungs I still feel young
But my body won't play along
I'm thinking this must not be where we belong

And the world
Split in two from the throng
Of every living soul
Screaming at the top of their lungs

Singing this is my word
But somehow we never get heard
There's just an echo
From a lost and lonely world

And I dare you to survive
Being grown for the rest of your life
From adulthood no one survives.

Ten billion feel
Pounding at the ground each week
Every secret, every burden they keep

Each one's waiting on the chance
To be lifted off the ground but then
To discover that we'll all be dust again

And I dare you to survive
Being grown for the rest of your life
From adulthood no one survives.

…And I dare you to survive
Being grown for the rest of your life
From adulthood no one survives.

From adulthood no one survives.

It's a skirt, It's a dress - it only takes 2 hours.....

Measure your fabrics width... Divid that in half.

Find the center of the fabric.

Now you need to find the radius of your waist - you will need the circle hole to fit your waist.... To find that number we need to use some math! I got this explanation from http://whatthecraft.com/circle-skirt-tutorial-new-and-improved/ 

radius = circumference divided by 2 times pi

My radius is  5.5 or 5 1/2 inches 

From there use string or just a measuring tape to act as a compass (like the old school math tool) to draw the circle 

Sew the waistband together, I used the presser foot line as my guide

Here is the finished project as a dress....

One recipe , One project a week.

So I used to write in my old blog all the time... Our adventures from scratch

It was a fun blog but now that I am on my own I want to get more focused. I was to have a goal and stick with it.... One recipe, one sewing project a week.

Let's see if I can get this going!

Cinnamon Buns Recipe

Servings: 6

Descrip

tion:

Sweet and delicious! Fat-free, whole wheat and 100% vegan. It doesn't get much better than that does it?

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup non-dairy milk
• 1 packet active yeast
• 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (use all purpose or white pastry flour if you are on a fiber free diet)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ¼ cup raw sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• 6 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (I used my homemade apple butter because I have a lot of it on hand) (if your are fiber free make sure it is pureed well!)
• 4 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp raisins (optional) (or dairy free chocolate chips!)
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 1 tsp non-dairy milk

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a circula

r cake pan and set aside.

Gently warm 3/4 cup non-dairy milk to about 110 degrees.

Sprinkle yeast over warmed non-dairy milk and let it dissolve, about 5 minutes.

Combine 2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 salt in a large bowl. Add 5 tbsp applesauce and yeast mixture, stirring sp

atula to combine.

Add in another 1/2 cup flour, stirring to combine.

Sprinkle remaining flour on a flat surface and knead dough, kneading in most of the flour. Knead about 15-20 times.

Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough out into large, thin rectangle and set aside.

Prepare filling by combining 4 tbsp brown sugar with 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce, 1 tsp cinnamon and raisins if using. (or chocolate chips!)

Spoon filling in the center of the dough and spread it around, leaving 1" edge clear. Gently but tightly roll the dough up.

Use a pizza cutter, sharp knife or string to cut off 6 rolls and place into prepared cake pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

Meanwhile, prepare icing by mixing 1 cup confectioners’ sugar with 1 tsp non-dairy milk (plain or vanilla), whipping until it becomes a thick glaze with no sugar chunks.

Spread glaze over hot buns

Enjoy!

Starting out I'm starting over....

I have decided that I m sick of defending my friends... I have reasons for my actions and I have reasons why I am close to the people I choose to be close too... I'm tried of defending those decisions.... I find that if I'm defending x with z, z ends up getting mad at me,,, while when I defend z with x, x gets mad at me? What's up with that? I can't win...I love all my friends. They all bring some thing unique to my life...

I'm done with it...
I have been thinking about my time left on this earth a lot lately... I will not live forever and I intend on enjoying what I have left...

Where the worlds begins to take shape.

I went to maine to find something. As I walked toward the edge of the beach, past the people, past the rocks, up the mountains , around the woods, past the man living out of the woods ( yes really) and to the crest of cape Elizabeth where the world begins to take shape.... I found it.

I'm me.

My good friend jermey , the most single person I know, said something To me, and I felt like I was hearing it for the first time. You have to learn to be happy with yourself. Not just okay or content. But happy.... I have not been happy with myself and I think that's what I need to do. This year was hard and I think that's what I lost.

In that moment staring out at the ocean, 2 miles from any humans I knew I was happy with my self. I feel like some one snapped me back and I feel better for it...

Let's got to Maine

This drive home was an adventure, with the black out effecting all of the areas I drive through I made getting gas an adventure.

It always darkest before the dawn

This summer has anlready been a roller coaster and it's just getting started...




Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/shake-it-out-lyrics-florence-and-the-machine.html ]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off

And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but its left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
