Tracie's B-day at Del Rey

Our friend Tracie had her birthday party at Del Rey in Belltown. The theme was black & white, so I bought a new black dress! The party had good turnout; it was good to see friends and meet some new people.

Not the best pic of me, but it is a good pic of my outfit! New Turquoise Boutique dress. Sisley blazer found in my closet.

Check Yourself

I spent my morning at the hospital having yet another endoscopy. No fun!! She took two biopsies and said I have some rings of scarring, but no final results yet.

Hope your day was better than mine!

Tuesday

Turquoise Boutique jeans, shirt and sweater. Cole Haan G Series flats.


Plus, I'm wearing TWO new accessories today! Steampunk necklace from Etsy. Nerd glasses from Amazon.com. (I can't remember why I'm pouting here, but I'm sure I was provoked)

Dinner 11/16

As I mentioned in my breakfast post, I am trying to be more creative in the kitchen. For dinner tonight I made broiled trout with quinoa.

Office Re-Org

I moved around the upstairs furniture awhile ago, but I hadn't taken the time to get my office in order. I've spent some time over the last couple of days finally getting everything the way I want it. I'm excited to have a working home office again!

My new little office space. It's small, but it's well laid out with lots of storage.

These shelves both add storage and extend my office space. They are actually acting as a room divider as well.

The back wall of the space. A small bookcase fills in the empty space next to the table and adds storage space. Now I have room to leave my sewing machine and my Cricut set up all the time.

And finally, the same desk I've always had, just in a new spot. With the desk and the table against the back wall perpendicular like this, I can just scoot around on my chair from one to the other as necessary.

Here's hoping that this new set up will work well and make me more productive at home!

Gluten-free Dairy-free Soy-free Corn-free Rice-free Breakfast

Ever since I was diagnosed with food allergies, I have been following a pretty boring mealplan. I decided to try to be more creative in the kitchen. This morning I made blueberry pancakes! And they were actually good!!!

The pancakes are made with quinoa flour and homemade cashew milk. I also made my own baking powder to ensure it was corn and aluminum free. I put a little coconut butter on top and then poured on some maple syrup. YUM!


Not a bad way to start the day.
