April Qaspeq Class & Fun Stuff
April Flowers Bring May Showers
Fun March Happenings
Its been a wild March month!
We bought a house, remodeling the house, working full time, making baby quilts, Kenai Construction academy which is a 4 week training with electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and welding. Its been an amazing 4 weeks and I have learned A LOT. I will hopefully be building a sewing table/fabric storage/cutting table this week in carpentry.
School part time with my diet and nutrition courses, and my ethnobotany course. I am slowly working towards my Ethnobotany certificate and am excited to continue and learning about plants as medicine.
I was able to travel to Bethel last month for work and it was so great to be home.
Two fun giveaways! And I am thinking about doing another giveaway on this page so I can get the word out 🙂 Keep posted!
I finished my first big qaspeq order for the Kuskokwim Campus college. I cant wait to share pictures of the students in their beautitful qaspeqs.
Home sweet Home
Home sweet home in beautiful Soldotna!
I am so excited to start making some serious sewing magic in my new sewing room.
Stay posted! I should be getting all my things for sale posted with prices hopefully by this weekend 🙂 I am trying to juggle school, work, part time job at the quilt shop, my business, and my family.
Sewcation weekend
Its been a busy few months :)
Cats in the Hats where do I begin!
Its been a busy busy few months since I last blogged! But I have been a crafting fool!
Its been bags, bags, and more bags. I have been the crazy bag lady and it has been FUN! Some of these have been spoken for but some are ready to go to new homes!
Its been a busy December
Lets just say it was a busy busy December with sewing, sewing and more sewing!
Because homemade gifts are the best it was a busy sewing month. Frozen quilts. Christmas qaspeq vests. And just call me the crazy bag lady it was a busy month of bag making.
I have decided to move forward and start my own sewing business. Coming up with the business name was tough but I nailed it down to Sew Yup’ik.
Lets just say its been a busy month. With the new year approaching I am so thankful for my amazing supportive family and my obsessive personality to never sit down and rest and to always keep busy.
May your new year bring on happiness, good cheer, and all smiles!
Holy HUT damn.
Lets just holy, frigging canolly.
Lets just say I was a sewing mean machine and no one was getting in my way.
You ready…
This was one weekend of some serious sewing! I joined a sewing guild here in my hometown and I think it has released a beast in me! But I love it!
I cant wait to whip out more things! The owl heating pads are going to make great gifts, and those owl organizers are great for sewers!
BUT!
How the heck can one get excited for Christmas when its 40 degrees and raining?! UGH! Small world problems, I guess I should just be grateful, right….
Anyways! Enjoy! Its November 13th and we are nearing to a new year, a new leaf, and a new sewing machine maybe! 🙂
Happy Thirsty Thursday for those of YOU that celebrate 😉
Healthy start to Movember
November is off to a great start!
Halloween was a hit! We had a great halloween gathering with our friends and it was ahhhhmazing!
We had costume winners! We had scary treats! Bobbing for beer! Nothing better than to start November off to a BANG!
Had to whip out this quick qaspeq vest for a welcome to Bethel gift. But it didnt fit so its up for grabs its about a size small for $65.
Im trying this whole meal planning and hopefull it will kick me off to a great start. SO far so good, although it might be TOO much food. who would have thunk that.
Lunch:
I roasted all the vegetables at 425 degrees with a little bit of oil, salt and pepper.
Asparagus, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower.
I cooked up some brown rice in the rice cooker and put a cup in each dish.
For the chicken I cooked them on stovetop and seasoned with cumin, paprika, garlic salt, and pepper. They are delicious!
And of course hard boiled eggs for a snack here and there, great protein!
These breakfast burritos are very hearty and filling! Probably should have kept them light.
Breakfast burritos:
Eggs
Potatoes
Peppers
Spinach
Chesee
Voila!
Let them freeze and then wrap then in foil. When you are ready to heat up wrap in a wet paper towel for about 2 minutes.
Of course I had to add some humor to my scary meatloaf fellows. 🙂
I was googling couples costumes and found this great idea to be crown and coke! These took me about an hour and they turned out awesome! I cant wait to start brewing up ideas for next year!
Here are the few decorations we decided to put up last minute. We scared many kids and adults and had children crying even before getting to the door. We were also blasting scary music in the entryway which freaked me out a little.
