Pacific Rain: so I can find it later: cherry almond smoothie
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015/01/so-i-can-find-it-later-cherry-almond.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2015. So I can find it later: cherry almond smoothie. Tonight I went looking for the recipe for this smoothie and couldn't believe I hadn't posted it on my blog! So, even though this is more than a mite out of season, here it is - I think I'll have it for dessert later, yum yum. I love the zero-waste aspect of this: some of the almond milk goes into the smoothie, and the leftover almonds do, too. 1/4 - 1/3 c almonds (or almond pulp/meal). 1 c almond milk.

Pacific Rain: handmade holidays 2014: leather medicine bag with labradorite pyramid
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015/01/handmade-holidays-2014-leather-pouch.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. Handmade holidays 2014: leather medicine bag with labradorite pyramid. So here's the thing about sending your presents out late: you can't post them 'til even later. This is ridiculous; December was kind of a non-event on the blog, huh? But let's get down to business. This turned out beautifully. I was so. Pleased with it. My inspiration was this "Miakoda Medicine" bag by Three Arrows Leather. And worked silver-colored metal beads onto the fringe. I loved making this - and I lo...

Pacific Rain: looking ahead
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015/01/looking-ahead.html
Monday, January 12, 2015. Here's news - though anyone reading this blog has probably already seen my update on facebook, or been called, etc. - I finally landed a stable job (it's been nearly two years). I have about a week before my first official day, so in the meantime I'm finishing up some projects, finally enjoying the time off because I can stop worrying about money for the first time in years. Here's one of the projects I'd been meaning to do for almost a month now! I added some silver tone metal ...

Pacific Rain: February 2015
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2015. But there are at least a few food experiments going on around here, and this post marks the start of my efforts to try and get the blog back into the new balance of what feels, finally, like a fully adult life. (So happy about that.). This winter and everyone loved them so much that I wanted to have more on hand to use again this year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Ill seen, ill said. The house that lars built. The splendor and travail.

Pacific Rain: November 2014
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 21, 2014. Woodland birthday: pfeffernusse mushrooms. How cute are these? While the do look remarkably like little cremini mushrooms, these are pfeffernusse ("peppernuts"), a spicy, peppery gingerbread. I have eighteen of these little guys to scatter around my woodland birthday table - and later this weekend, I'm going to attempt making a meringue version, as well! My original inspiration for the pfeffernusse mushrooms was this post from Twigg Studio. 1 1/4 c. flour. 1/2 c almond flour.

Pacific Rain: A bag for Gaia
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-bag-for-gaia.html
Saturday, July 11, 2015. A bag for Gaia. This, too, was meant to be a Yuletide gift. Boy, was I late. My friend was pregnant at the time - she's since given birth to her son, and fortunately I did manage to get this to her a week or two before the birth, which was my aim (the "hard deadline"). When I started in November; she was quite pregnant already (big baby this time around! I don't quite remember. The entire bag is edged in tiny seed beads of palest lavender. One on every stitch. I wanted it to be a...

Pacific Rain: May 2015
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. Wow, things have been quiet around here. April (and May) are, as it turns out, really busy months for my new professional career. In fact, I've been pushing myself so hard at work that I've actually been sick (very sick) for the past two weeks with a bad headcold. This rabbit's name is Maggie. Maggie is actually a kit made by the clever, magical Alicia Paulson of the blog Posie Gets Cozy. Maggie is rather patiently enduring being folded a little tightly and stuffed in a box at the m...

Pacific Rain: March 2015
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 8, 2015. Hard to believe it's already time; the weather this year is off - I keep asking myself, is it El Nino or more serious climate change? And while there's an anxiety gnawing at the back of my brain about summer, and drought, and wildfire season and all those poor people who live east of the mountains! And so I've been out in the woods already, gathering nettles. Soon it'll be big leaf maple blossoms and the spring foraging season will really and truly feel like it's on.

Pacific Rain: Another architecture tee
http://pacificrain.blogspot.com/2015/07/another-architecture-tee.html
Sunday, July 5, 2015. I also finished another originally-intended-as-a-yuletide gift in mid-June. I'll try and get it up on the blog this week; I would've posted sooner, but a business trip to Cleveland, followed by Midsommar, followed by a rush proofreading job and the 4th of July have absorbed my last three weeks in a constant state of busy-rush-rush. I think I've earned a bit of a summer break: time for less rush-rush and a bit more summer reading and beading in my near future, I hope! A bag for Gaia.
