Dog walks and Candyland

Today I am grateful for the beautiful turning weather. I am not a fan of the summertime so when the fall/winter weather starts....I'm a very happy little child.

On Friday night, Noel and I joined Eddie and Kristi (happily engaged as of recent!) for dinner at The Thinking Man Tavern for dinner. It was a delicious fried green tomato sandwich. I got the side of black beans and rice...but I'm really regretting that because they had amazing potato rounds. But, this is the best thing about this restaurant:

Candyland!

I have been on what seems like millions of walks this weekend. We went to pick Toby, my sisters dog, up from Will's parents house and ran into this beauty on the way:

I can't wait to have my own house that I will decorate and add character to. That'll be the day.

Lastly, Donovan and I have been bonding a lot lately (walks and all). He's starting to really like me. Better be careful, Noel. I might steal your baby boy.

After our walk together. He's so happy!

Athens and artichokes

Today I am grateful to live in Athens. ITs a small community but a great one. One where little ol me can get into the newspaper twice in one year. I'm not too excited about the photo they chose of me but there was no caption so hopefully the banner herald readers will not know it was me. http://onlineathens.com/stories/080210/liv_689380630.shtml Tonight Lindsay Will and I made paneer spinach and artichokes that we dipped in butter and bernaise. So delicious. And very round: Toby was quite jealous. He had a few leftovers, though. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone Location: Normal Ave,Athens-Clarke County,United States

Risotto and Sonny Perdue

Today I am grateful that I woke up to Noel kissing me on the cheek as he was leaving. Today Sarah, Cheryl and I went to the ribbon cutting of the MCG/UGA Medical School Partnership. It was not as much hot as it was extremely humid...and I immediately drenched the dress that Julie gave me. I have never gotten so many comments about a dress before. I am grateful to Julie for giving me some great new clothes. My whole outfit today cost about 5 dollars. That doesn't count the underwear...but you can't count that because underwear is expensive. I love this great dress that Julie gave me, bottom line. This is a photo of Cheryl and I fake cutting the ribbon before the actual ribbon cutting. I know my posts always involve food...but I love to cook. I found this recipe in a magazine and it was all about green food. Recipes for zucchini, pea soup and then this one were in the article. Who can resist a big helping of spinach and goat cheese risotto made with vegetable stock and...

About me

Hi, I'm Claire of Claire_Crafted! I was born and raised in Georgia, but have also called DC and now Denver home. I cannot remember a time in my life when fabric wasn't a part of it. I grew up watching my mother sew our Halloween costumes and cocktail dresses for herself. Her mother, my grandmother, sewed all of her children's clothes and, so far, every wedding dress on our side of the family, including mine. I started sewing on my mother's Singer when I was very young, but never really got good at it until many years later when I was out of college. Today, I work on a Bernina Activa 240 and a Brother 1034D. I am a very proud owner of not one but two pair of lefty scissors. You can follow my sewing adventures @claire_crafted on Instagram.
