http://mandimakes.blogspot.com/2012/08/welp-here-it-is.html
A place to store and share the things I make. Monday, August 27, 2012. Welp, here it is. Dear Blog: I've come to a few realizations. One: I can't keep up with you. Two: I'm just not meant to be a blogger, a regular post a lot blogger like I tried to do for awhile. Three: That's ok. I've been spending more *time* (or less time) pinning things on Pinterest (follow me! Look at all I've made! Some of it we grew, some of it we picked, and some of it was just from our CSA. Oh and I'm not done yet! GREAT recipe...

mandi makes: Sara's Wedding
http://mandimakes.blogspot.com/2012/09/saras-wedding.html
A place to store and share the things I make. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. SO glad I didn't ever get around to blogging about Sara's wedding, because this post. Does it way more justice than I would have. This is my cousin-in-law whom I helped with some of the decorations, like cutting yard after yard of burlap for runners. The cranes were such a sweet idea and added so much personality to the decor. I was honored to be able to help out with such a beautiful event! Courtesy Anna Jaye Photography.

mandi makes: March 2012
http://mandimakes.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
A place to store and share the things I make. Sunday, March 11, 2012. Start to finish, i made it. That was a guess. How big of squares? That worked out. It started with this:. Perfect. At the end of an unruly 5 hour session, I had all but 2 squares worth of a crib-size quilt. It was magic. It looked like this that particular day:. Not really. This was the most tedious part (more than the shuffling, even). Finally, I just settled. Sometimes, you just do. I much prefer the grey binding anyway). It's wo...

http://mandimakes.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
A place to store and share the things I make. Monday, June 11, 2012. I got to greet a baby girl and welcome her into the world last week. I started this post and wanted to tell the whole story, but have been sitting on it. Because, well, it's not my story to tell. My story is that I got to rub mama's back, keep her and her family company between contractions, and experience the amazing miracle of birth firsthand (well, not really first. And what's a blog post without something I made? These beet greens a...

A place to store and share the things I make. Wednesday, December 21, 2011. I know, right? Totally like whatever, you know? In case you hadn't noticed,. It has somehow become uncool. To sound like you know what you're talking about? Or believe strongly in what you're saying? Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know? Have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences? Even when those sentences aren't, like, questions? Declarative sentences - so-called. It's like what I've heard? I ent...

mandi makes: Roasted Smooshed Tomato Sauce
http://mandimakes.blogspot.com/2013/08/roasted-smooshed-tomato-sauce.html
A place to store and share the things I make. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Roasted Smooshed Tomato Sauce. I just made the best tomato sauce. I actually googled "best tomato sauce recipe" and came up with a couple hits, I always trust Martha. So I went with her. We have SO MANY tomatoes growing in our backyard, so many that the one plant being held up by 3 poles is pulling them down. G harvested 3 large bowls worth while I was in Montana, so I had plenty to work with. Not worth it. Better method? Rosie's In...

A place to store and share the things I make. Thursday, May 10, 2012. The sun has been out this week, and the tastes of summer are starting to appear. Asparagus has been our houseguest this week it seems. We walked up to the season opener of our neighborhood Farmer's Market last night without a grocery list but determined to make a meal only out of what ingredients we found there. And a fine meal we found! We got to chat up the people from Wintergreen Farm. Tonight's dinner is some asparagus pizza. These...
