Spring Break Craftstravaganza

Well, two months have come and gone, and all the while the Blogmas have been hibernating under a blanket of schoolwork and blogging lethargy. But spring has come to Colorado. For many, the best part of spring is the return of longer days and budding flowers. They think that because they don't have spring break, which is clearly the best part about spring. Typically I have traveled somewhere or had visitors over spring break, but this year I had the whole week to myself, which translated into me staying in my pajamas until noon and planning elaborate sewing and cooking projects. Some of you know I tend to be a little, shall we say, consumed by cooking projects. I wake up in the morning thinking about food and spend the whole day writing recipes in my head. Case in point: it is 8:00 in the morning and I am making homemade barbeque sauce. But it is spring break, and I have given myself free reign to cook and craft as I please. Here are a few of my more attractive accomplishments of the week:

Homemade Yogurt

Cloth Backgammon Board (Bells vs New Belgium)

The backgammon board ready for travel (it's coming to a coffee shop near you, Jo!)

Yoga Bag (I even managed to get out of my pj's and into my workout clothes for yoga this week)

Tuesday Night's Dinner: Chicken with Yogurt and Spices, with Moroccan Cauliflower Rice 

Take a week of reading, cooking, and crafting, add in a pedicure and a new pair of shoes, and you have a perfect spring break stay-cation. I hope the sun is shining and flowers are blooming wherever you are!
