English paper piecing (EPP) is so perfect for those of us that have trouble sitting still with idle hands! It’s very portable, uses very little mental energy, and it’s easy to pull out when you have a spare moment. Think about all the time you spend sitting in meetings, waiting for appointments, watching kids’ activities, riding in the car, buses, trains, or airplanes, or even just vegging out in front of the TV in the evening. I know sometimes I just don’t want to drag out a big project late at night, so I keep a basket of EPP supplies near the couch. This pattern has templates for four block sizes: 4″, 6″, 9″, and 12″, though by enlarging or reducing your printouts you could make any block size you’d like. Each size has all the pieces you need for one block on one or more sheets of paper, with the pieces spread out for easy cutting. You can easily print out as many templates as you’d like! This pattern includes three PDFs: EPP basics will teach you two EPP techniques and gives you some tips & tricks for sewing your block, and Seven sisters, which has all of your templates plus instructions on how to turn your block into a pincushion (as shown on the cover) or a pillow. Also part of the pattern is a coloring sheet so you can test your color combinations! The cover block is 4″ high and is made from Studio E Peppered Cottons and Alexander Henry “Heath” in Smoke. This is an original pattern, designed and created by me. It is for personal, non-commercial use only.

Cartagena is the most surprising place that I’ve ever visited. I’ve never heard anyone talking about it and I didn’t know much about it. But after visiting, it’s easily a place that I’d return to later. I’d love to rent a little apartment and spend an entire week there, wandering around the town, lounging in sun-soaked plazas and going down to the beach. 10 things to do in Cartagena, Spain 1. Walk through the Roman Theatre Museum This Roman Theatre was built between 5 and 1 BC and it’s in amazing condition. But the fascinating thing is that it wasn’t even discovered until 1988! Excavations and restorations were finished in 2003 with the museum opening in 2008. All of Cartagena is absolutely dripping in history and the fact that these Roman ruins remained undisturbed for so long is absolutely amazing. 2. Explore the Naval Museum Cartagena is a port city and has an extremely long naval history. It’s a part of the Naval Museum of Madrid. I found learning about the modern navy really fascinating as it’s something that I don’t know anything about. 3. Walk along the Calle Mayor Calle Mayor is the main shopping street in Cartagena.

Tired of struggling with burnout after the holidays? Discover 6 simple styles of rest that'll help you truly recharge • Creative rest...

For about a year and half - maybe even closer to two years - my husband and I were vegetarian. Well, technically, we were "pesco-vegetarian", meaning we'd occasionally eat seafood. We did it for a bunch of reasons - mostly health and moral/ethical reasons - but we eventually drifted back to our carnivorous ways. Our return to meat all started last year, with an In-N-Out burger while en route to Disneyland...but I digress. As you might imagine, one of the byproducts of our vegetarianism was a lower grocery bill. And though our meatless days are mostly over (I say mostly because I almost never cook with beef or pork - most of my non-veg meals have either turkey or chicken in them), I still incorporate vegetarian meals into my menu planning at least twice a week. Not only does this help us eat meat sparingly (seriously, our country eats waaay too much meat - if we all cut back, we wouldn't need to mass-produce the animals the way we do here. Dang it - I got on the soapbox. I made a goal not to do that in this post), but it's a frugal way to cook for yourself and your family. Here are a few ideas to get you to go meatless, even if it's just one dinner a week. These are all things I made back in our veg-head days. I might add that none of the recipes include tofu - nothing against it, I just could never get it to work for me. Maybe I just expected too much of it. Anyway, here's some ideas... Pizza is a staple at our house. I'm going to devote an entire post to my pizza recipe in near-future. It is ridiculously fast and easy - and I make it for less money than even a $5 Little Caesar's pizza. But if you're dying of suspense and have to have the recipe right away, you can check out this link to my personal blog when I wrote about it a little over a year ago. We have pizza once a week and it's so easy to make it meatless. While I'm mentioning pizza, I might as well add that Italian food offers many meatless options. I think it's partly due to the fact that meat isn't always the center of the meal and the pasta fills you up. Of course, there's always spaghetti - it's really easy to omit the meat in spaghetti sauce. There's also lots of vegetarian lasagna recipes out there (seriously, tons. Do a Google search. Here's one I found that I think I'm going to try - even though I LOVE my go-to lasagna recipe). There's also eggplant parmesan - delicious and surprisingly easy. And while I'm mentioning noodles, how could I not mention macaroni? (This post is quite stream-of-consciousness...) Homemade macaroni and cheese is super-easy and cheap to make, not to mention so much better than the boxed kind (here's the link to the recipe I use - though I just use regular cheddar instead of white). You can also add some vegetables to the mac and cheese - I always add broccoli. My sister-in-law's mom made us chipotle macaroni and cheese, which was also awesome. Macaroni is oh-so-versatile and easy to go vegetarian with. Now, one option totally unrelated to Italian food or noodles (well, I guess you could serve it on noodles...): stir-fry. The nice thing about making stir-fry is that you can basically make up your own recipe for the sauce, add whatever vegetables you want, and serve it on rice. Here's the link to a helpful guide (basically just a formula to follow - you decide the ingredients) and how-to to get you feeling more stir-fry savvy. Beans are your meat-free friend. They're bursting with protein and are very filling. My favorite beans are black beans and I use them in all sorts of recipes, particularly in Mexican dishes. An example: I'll fill tortillas with cheese, black beans, corn, and a little enchilada sauce, roll them up, line them in a pan, top with more enchilada sauce and cheese, and bake them for 15-ish minutes. This is such an economical dinner to make because most of the ingredients come from your pantry or freezer. Again, Google bean recipes and you'll find a ton of ideas. Eggs are an awesome meat-free dinner option. Sometimes, if I'm feeling lazy, I'll just make omelets for dinner (I'm going to try to make them a la Julia Child - I've been reading the section of Mastering the Art of French Cooking all about omelets and I want to make a truly French-style one). Another awesome way to use eggs for dinner: Smitten Kitchen's huevos rancheros. Click on the link - I dare you. I can't look at this recipe on her blog without getting a mad craving for them. Make breakfast for dinner - sans the sausage, ham, and bacon. When I was a kid, my mom would make breakfast dinner and we loved it! If you're going to do this, use this pancake recipe. Soup it up! There are so many options when it comes to soup, especially if you want to make a meat-free soup. You can make a simple chowder with a roux, a little water, and some vegetables (I'm keeping this all fairly vague for a reason - I'll be posting a bunch of soup stuff in the weeks to come). Or you could make this minestrone soup - not only is it meat-free and delicious, but it is so cheap to make since it's mostly just vegetables that you probably already have in your crisper and then a few pantry items. Really, it costs almost nothing to make, but it's just as good as what you'd get in a restaurant. The ideas I've listed are only a start - there really are a ton of options when it comes to making meatless meals. Granted, if you're going to eat this way all the time, you may need to get more creative, do some more research and reading. One cookbook that I recommend is Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers - the recipes are specifically made to be simple, weeknight-type of vegetarian dinners. I also have the be-all and end-all of vegetarian cookbooks, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. This is an amazing guide and has all the information you could possibly want on how to prepare and cook vegetables, along with beans and grains (like rice, quinoa, barley, etc.). And then there's the Internet - you can find a bazillion vegetarian sites and recipes. So, step away from the meat counter (don't tell my dad I wrote that - he just so happens to work as a butcher at a supermarket in Park City) and try a meat-free dinner, even if it's just once a week. You'll be surprised how little you'll miss the meat - and your wallet may just thank you.
