there's no place like gnome.

Internet and time have been slim at my house so I haven’t been able to update you. On life. As if my life is exciting enough that you want to read about it. Maybe not. But I bet you do want to see CUTE PUPPY PICTURES!

Like that one. Adorbs. Doctor Emmett Brown is growing and learning and biting. And jumping. And getting this housebreaking thing down. (*raises roof*)

In other news, I survived Easter, yoga continues to float my boat, and I’ve started to condition my straw bales for the garden. I tried to mow the forest-of-a-lawn that is my backyard but after five minutes I broke the mower (Okay, not really. But the blades stopped spinning.) and I’m kind of super excited for other yard work to come.

That’s life lately.

This guy. (Are you surprised? No, you’re not. He goes between super naughty – jumping, biting – and super cuddly and sweet. I’m sure it’s all part of his plan to rule the household. It’s probably working.)

I’ve rediscovered overnight oats. Super delicious. (Old fashioned oats + unsweetened almond milk + fruit + a splash of maple syrup soaked overnight = lovely breakfast.) A church member also gifted me two dozen eggs from her chickens. My breakfast game has been top notch this week.

I’m in love with this quilt (by Crazy Mom Quilts – one of my favorite modern quilt/pattern person) and its ability to use up those favorite teeny tiny scraps I can’t part with because I love the fabric so. I’ve made two blocks … more to come when I have a house-trained puppy and Easter is behind us.

Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler (my Parks and Recreation favorites) are planning a new reality show … for crafters. The Handmade Project. I want to apply. I think I may …

This weather. Super excited to spend some quality time with the sun this weekend.

My sister sent me a new mug that says “Future Mrs. B-.” Super sweet! It is iced coffee weather but I wanted to drink out of it all the same so there is a straw sticking out of the top this morning.
