I can’t wait for a fresh, full week next week. This whole short week thing has me all screwed up and behind. We have a ton of errands to run tomorrow. Need to go pick up a new piping foot (since mine is nowhere to be found), some bits and pieces for a new tutorial, veggies from my favorite local grocery store for a roast on Sunday and the library.
I MIGHT have found a part-time job. I’m stopping in tomorrow to take a peek. It would certainly make my blogging schedule a little different but Jared and I could use a little extra income to buffer our savings and maybe save up for a honeymoon.
Lots to do today! Getting ready for some new things for the blog and making ribs tonight before autumn is in full swing.

I’m dying to pull out my boots. I of course adore my beautiful leather riding boots that have lasted for almost 5 years now. But last year Jared gave me a simple pair of men’s winter boots (similar to these, however mine are most certainly knock-offs) that I wear for daily errands and walking the dog. They are a little too big and they aren’t much to look at, but I pretty much lived in them all winter last year.
I just recently set my sight on these boot “slugs” by those Alaskan Girls on etsy and I feel like it’s one of those genius product ideas only a craft girl could pull off. They are an invention of necessity, as the brilliant minds behind the shop are from a rainy town in Alaska where almost everyone wears brown rain boots and they wanted a way to keep their socks up, seal the cold out and add some “pizazz” to their boots. I personally love their solid fleece slugs, plaid slugs and recycled sweater slugs. Check out their shop for the full collection and other cold weather goods.
