Black beans and strangers

By
Today I am grateful for two things.

One. Twice in the past two days I have seen strangers being kind to me. I got a call from a man who says he saw my name on our website at work and had to call and ask if I was 'the Claire boozer of the Snitzer family.' This man's parents are close friends of my grandparents. He not only knows my grandparents but also named my mom and dad. He lives here in athens and works with our office through referrals a lot. Small world!

Second stranger: Lindsay, Will and I got back to her car last night to what looked like a ticket. Turned it over to reveal a note from a stranger that said she used to go to Camp Sunshine and now is a counselor there. She saw the license plate on Lindsay's car and had to leave a note. The bartender said she freaked when she saw the plate and was so excited. We had just missed her. I searched her name on Facebook and found nothing. Still pretty amazing.

Second thing I am grateful for is that I won't have to work next weekend and instead work (currently working) today. I was not excited about eating yet another veggie sandwich from the cafeteria...but someone was looking out for me because today was black beans and rice day. I love that day.



Last bit of funness from Claire's life: A bird pooped on my head last night. Don't have a picture of that...sorry.

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...

Despite that...there's still this.

These past few weeks I have definitely had my fare share of things to focus on. And most of them were negative. But, in the spirit of a gratefulness blog...I will only focus on the positive here in this post. First and foremost...my Ollie cat is feeling better. I woke up to her throwing everything around her kennel...which normally wouldve upset me. But I am so grateful she is feeling back to her normal self. The rest of the things I am grateful for off the top of my head: -I found a dime on the ground today. That's 10 cents less that I have to come up with for the 2500 in vet bills. - I have amazing coworkers who tell me things like, "you're everyone's favorite." - the top button on my iPhone started miraculously working again. - Stephanie made me chocolate covered pretzels. Possible the best treat for a person who really doesn't like sweets. - I have a warm bed and two sweet girls to share it with. Goodnight all. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Seen and Sewn Together Blog Tour

By
I’m Claire of Claire_Crafted . I’m an avid sewist – but only in the free time I have after my day job (health policy work) and spending time with my husband and toddler. Arielle from Seen & Sewn Patterns graciously allowed me to participate with the hack I did of the Aspen Tank pattern. The pattern is super simple, so it left lots of room for creativity – which is exciting but can sometimes be overwhelming at the same time! Ultimately, I decided that the pink clay linen I bought from Stone Mountain and Daughter Fabrics went perfectly with the adorable cotton raccoon fabric I bought at the Denver quilt show last spring. I also only had one yard of it, so the size of the yoke was perfect. Once I picked out the fabrics, I had to decide how I wanted to hack the pattern. Again, it’s a very straightforward pattern, so that left a lot of possibilities! As I contemplated the options, I realized that the popover placket Kalle Shirt pattern from Cl...
