I haven't been sewing much lately, so I've only made a few things in the past couple of weeks. I need to get on that because I have a craft show in 2 weeks!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I try to bring reusable cups to work with me everyday because I get free coffee all day long! Sometimes I will have 3 different drinks. Imagine if I used a disposable cup for every drink, three times a day, four days a week. That's 12 cups a week I would be tossing in the garbage. In a year, I would throw away 624 cups!!! That is for just one person!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.reuseit.com/" target="_blank">Reuseit</a> is a really cool website that sells all different kinds of reusable items. They posted this infographic one day and I thought it was super cool.<br />

I love having hot coffee at home, but at work it's easier and faster to make something cold. It also tastes better than a hot beverage after it's been sitting for a couple of hours! But when it's really cold outside, I need something warm for the drive home. Instead of bringing two different cups with me, I started using a mason jar with a <a href="http://www.cuppow.com/collections/wide-mouth-product/products/original-cuppow-wide-with-straw-tek-mint" target="_blank">Cuppow</a>! This way I can enjoy a hot or cold beverage in the same cup, plus it's so much easier to clean glass than plastic when you don't have a dishwasher at home!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My jar was working perfectly until that freezing cold day when I needed something hot for my long drive home. That glass gets hot! I needed to make a cozy! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I picked out some of my favorite fabric and cut two pieces 12.5 x 3.5 inches. I used one piece of fusible fleece for insulation. I fused the fleece onto one piece of fabric. Then I sewed the fabric pieces right sides together, leaving an opening so I could turn it right side out. After turning it right side out, I ironed it flat, making sure the opening was tucked in straight. Then I topstitched all the way around the cozy. Next I checked the sizing around my mason jar to measure where the velcro should be placed. I have a wide mouth 16oz jar. It fit perfectly around mine, so I just had to sew the velcro pieces on the ends. I didn't have to measure much thankfully! And this is how it turned out!<br />

I have a friend, Stephanie, that I met on Twitter in 2009. She was an 'internet' friend for a while, but she became an IRL friend in 2011 when she traveled from Arizona to Chicago for my wedding! Stephanie has always been my biggest besu fan, so for gift-giving occasions I always sew her up something special. I wanted to do something different for Christmas this past year because you can only have so many pouches, people! I racked my brain for a little while until my coworker surprised me with this mug:</div>

My coworker's sister lives in Bend and she was planning on going there for Thanksgiving. We were talking about Portland and how much I wanted to go there right before she left. I was very excited when she brought this back for me. I love the little bike! So anyway, I thought it would be a cute idea to send my friend Stephanie a Chicago version for Christmas! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I came across this <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/95701560805507348/" target="_blank">pin</a> on Pinterest and knew that I had to make her some coasters to go with the mug! The tutorial is super easy. This was actually my first time 'quilting.' I use this term loosely! I loved this project because I was able to use up some scraps of my favorite fabrics that were too small to be used in any other project. Sometimes you just can't throw them away! The coffee cup fabric is one of my favorites and I never made anything for myself out of it! I actually made four of each, but I thought it would be cute to split them up so they were all a little different. I kept a set for myself too! Also, the tutorial is for circle coasters. I REALLY love the look of the circles, but I am pretty terrible at sewing curves, so I stuck with squares! :) Here is my finished project!</div>

Happy New Year everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been a while since I posted here, but I thought the best time to start writing again would be for the new year. I can't really think of anything exciting that happened in 2013, but it wasn't a bad year at all. It was mostly a year of routine. Work, household chores, eating, sleeping. We had a few nice dinners out for birthdays, went to a few concerts (Stars, Jimmy Eat World) which is a rare occurrence for us as we get older! My husband was laid off in June, so he was able to enjoy the summer a little bit before he started a new job at the end of August. The lay off was probably the worst thing that happened all year, but things definitely could have been worse!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought I would start the year by listing some things I would like to do and things I'm looking forward to this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Welcoming my first nephew into the world!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First things first, my brother and sister-in-law are expecting their second child any day now! This is an extra exciting birth because it will be the first boy! My oldest brother has two daughters, 15 & 12 and my brother who is expecting has an almost 4 year old daughter. This will be a fun change for our family! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Blogging more!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know I always start blogging and then I quit. I just can't think of interesting things to write about. I really love using <a href="http://instagram.com/hellobesu" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and that is what made me decide to start blogging again. I love taking photos. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art and my main focus was photography. Although back then, we were developing our own <i>film and prints! </i>I love sharing photos on Instagram, but sometimes I want to share MORE, or someone asks me a question and it's too hard to write a novel in a comment. So this is where my blog comes in. I thought this would be a good place to share crafts and recipes and DIY ideas I have found or tried. And also photos of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Learn to crochet!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've tried to teach myself to knit twice now with no luck. I'm hoping crochet is a little easier for me to grasp! My mom used to crochet and made a lot of chevron(!) afghans back in the day. I would love to make a mason jar cozy, cowl and lots of blankets! I've been <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/hellobesu/crochet/" target="_blank">pinning</a> a bunch of patterns to try when I finally get the hang of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4. Go on vacation!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last vacation we went on was in May 2011 for my husband's brother's wedding. We went to the Cayman Islands. It was fun, but we are definitely not the beach vacation type. There wasn't much to do there besides sit on the beach, so I sat there under an umbrella with my spf 100 and giant sun hat. Our plan is to visit Portland in the spring. I wanted to go for my birthday, but March is a busy month at my husband's work, so it will have to be in April or May. If you have any must-see places to go or things to do in Portland, please send them my way! I'm excited to try all the vegan restaurants they have there and check out the vegan strip mall!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. Get tattooed!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok, so I only have 3 tattoos. I feel like I should have a lot more by now. I haven't been tattooed since 2008, so it is about time. I have at least 3 ideas which include sewing, my dogs and veganism. Big surprise there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I could probably make this list go to at least 10, but I don't want to bore you! So I will start with these five things and I will be sure to let you know about any other exciting things that happen this year!</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>day 12. weekly rituals.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't have many rituals these days. mostly the post office on tuesdays and thursdays. the closest post office doesn't have parking, so it's the biggest pain in the butt to go to. so I made it so I only have to go twice a week!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">wednesdays are sometimes errand day, but really any day can be errand day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">we usually stay up a little later watching tv on fridays after wes gets home from work. saturdays we watch the shows we missed during the week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">on sunday we sometimes will order dinner to be delivered and we watch some tv shows depending on what season we are in. as you can see by the list...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I seriously tried everything before I decided to stick with sewing. knitting, crochet, jewelry making, resin, so I don't have much to list. I am mostly interested in sewing things for my home. I wanted to make kitchen curtains for my last apartment, but never got around to it, same with pillows! maybe I will get my butt in gear for our new house.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">ok. we are dorks and we don't go out much. neither one of us really drink, so we were never the 'let's go hang out at a bar' kind of couple. we are homebodies and we like to hang out with our pup. we both like to eat, but there are only a few places we can go because I am vegan. Wes is not even vegetarian. (*shock*) but he is a really good sport about going to my favorite veggie restaurants.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the boiler room is a new pizza place we discovered recently and it's only one train stop away! they have regular pizza and vegan pizza with vegan cheese and vegan meats! it's vegan heaven!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the chicago diner is my favorite place to go. they have vegan shakes! we will go there for my birthday, so I will write about that later.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">karyn's on green is a vegan restaurant we haven't tried yet. it's kinda fancy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">drew's eatery is vegan friendly and they deliver! and they have shakes! can you tell I like ice cream?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">we haven't been to a concert in forever! we need to go soon! millennium park has free outdoor concerts in the summer. too bad we can't bring panda!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't think we will be doing any of these ideas this weekend besides the tv watching part. tomorrow we are going house hunting! yay! I will be sure to take photos of any crazy things we come across. I'm not sure anything will ever top what we found in one house:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think I only accomplished a few of my weekend goals. I cleaned for the condo showing (I didn't have a choice!) and I took one blythe photo. I need to catch up tonight! we went to my brother's house on saturday night. it was nice to hang out with my family and see my nieces. scarlett, the one year old, can now say hi and doggie! so cute! and of course my 9 year old niece, ashley (her cousin) was trying to teach her to say butt while we were eating dinner. how appropriate!<br />
<br />
yesterday we had the condo showing and had to get out of the house for a little while. we went to petsmart because we couldn't leave panda at home and then stopped at chipotle to pick up lunch. veggie burrito bol yum! I love the chipotle ordering app. it's so awesome!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">ok, get more followers. this isn't 2003 and i'm not trying to see how many myspace friends I can get. basically what I mean is, I want to blog and I want to be interesting and I want people to want to read what I have to say. so I guess if I have more followers, that means I'm getting better at blogging!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">make friends. I have twitter friends, blythe friends, flickr friends, etc. I love internet buddies and I just think blogging is another way to meet new people and share ideas. I love it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so now that I've shared some more lists, what are your least favorite words? blog goals?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanna know!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xo, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">beth</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br />
