you
Thursday, September 02, 2010This is a little "step out of my box" sort of post... but I guess I'm going with it. I repeatably receive comments and e-mails on some topics. So, I thought I would go ahead and address them all in one post. A little about me, because you asked.
How do you choose your patterns?
Well, I am not one to peruse ravelry for patterns. Although I love it to death, I have found that like anyone that signs on to ravelry, I am lost in the pages for hours. (I use it to see if anyone has ever had questions or problems or let someone know if I did.) So, I generally find my patterns either through the actual yarn company site, blogs, tnna or flipping through books at my local yarn store. Oh! And my friend, Kim, also keeps me in the know.
What white t-shirts do you wear?
It's true. I usually layer every sweater with white. I actually only buy white, brown, black and grey t-shirts. I love the j-crew tissue tee's the best. However, can't justify spending that much on a bunch of tee's so find the the tissue tee's at target are all world. LOVE them.
How did the green smoothie challenge turn out?
How did the green smoothie challenge turn out?Well, back in May I tried to drink a green smoothie (add some green veggies to your fruit smoothie) every day for the entire month. I ended up missing about 5 days. I can't say that I actually "felt" better. I also realized that I like to eat my food rather than drink it. However, I am still making green smoothies at least 3x a week. Usually with a frozen banana, 1 cup frozen berries, 1 cup green tea (yep... make a big pitcher and keep it in the fridge), 2 cups kale and 1 scoop of protein powder. I always feel like I need more protein (see eggs above) since I don't eat red meat or chicken. (I do, however, love bacon and fish.)
What camera do you use?
What camera do you use?I shoot with a Nikon d50. My favorite lens is my 50mm 1.4. The only other lens I have is the 18-135mm.
Tell us about the 365 project.
Currently, I am in the third year of shooting a photo a day. (This life of mine in sidebar.) Although it can be a super huge challenge, I highly recommend it. Even if you don't want to post your photos onto flickr or another site, you can keep them all on your own computer. It captures a single moment of each and every day for an entire year. Teaching you a little more about your camera and opening your eyes to the beauty of the everyday. You seriously can not go wrong with this project. There are no rules... start today, you don't have to wait for January 1.
Do you eat everything you bake?
I love cookie dough. More than the actual cookie. So, I always eat a big spoonful (or two or three) of dough. I usually only eat the cookies right out of the oven.
Ugg. Enough boring about me. Please tell me something about YOU!
