Happy June everyone! : )
This past month has be super busy for me. Working both jobs and over 60 hours a week leaves little time for much of anything else. I apologize for the lack of posts. A lot has been going on the last month. I was getting myself prepared to become a Vegetarian again. A few years back, when I was in high school I made the decision to be a vegetarian. My poor mother was the one who had to come up with meal plans for me and now I sort of feel bad putting her through that. It's not easy I am finding out. So this past month, I have experimented in different recipes I could use to make sure I get enough protein and other nutrients. That is the reason last time my doctor took me off my vegetarian life style. I was too active and couldn't keep up with what my body needed to stay healthy. This time around it will be different.

With the amount of hours that I work, it has been difficult to do crafts. I did however do a couple baby things last minute for my aunt a couple weeks ago. It was very last minute and i just used left over fabric that I had been hoarding.
Luckily, the baby shower my aunt needed a few presents for was for a boy. I had just enough left over from my zoo baby set I made a year ago. Although, it would have been much easier if it had been for a baby girl. I tend to have more girl fabrics than boy. It's always way easier to pick out girly fabric for me.
In the end I had just enough left over to make a changing matt, some wash cloths, and a striped snuggle blanket. Honestly those are the only projects I had worked on until recently. As I stated earlier I went back to being a vegetarian. I have many reasons as to why I made the choice and it was a long thought out decision. It's not because I am a large animal activist. It's mostly due to the amount of unhealthy additives in meat and processed foods. It's extremely unhealthy all the fillers and preservatives they use in meats. Because I already have large food allergy issues, they keep getting worse. Lately, I have developed a large nut allergy in the last year or so. Luckily, it's not peanuts. But, my doctor says it is only a matter of time.
I'm on day 20. I can already tell a difference in how my body feels and how I feel over all. I've actually lost over 15 lbs in the last month and half! That I am excited about. It's been a large adjustment. I am, however, having tons of time loving making new foods.
