Busy March

This month has been very busy for us.  We've been working a lot. Leif's filled his evenings with hockey or big boy toy shopping.  I've been doing bootcamp and figuring out what to cook for this crazy diet I've been on.  I went to see a naturopath and she suggested an allergy/sensitivity test diet to figure out what's causing my disrupted sleep.  For 2 weeks I had to cut out all sugar, dairy, eggs, wheat, corn, tomato, citrus fruit, and food additives.  Then every second day I introduce one thing and see if it wrecks my sleep.  The third thing I reintroduced was sugar and it seems like that's the culprit!! I've gone off sugar again so I can test everything else to make sure I can rule them out.  You would be amazed how many things have hidden sugar in them!
 
No sugar means no chocolate (torture!!) but on the weekend I found a recipe for sugar/dairy/gluten free fudge.  I LOVE it!  Leif HATES it!  Just look at that chocolatey goodness.  How can you say no?

Now that refereeing is over, I've had some time on the weekends to craft.  Here are two completed projects!  A bible bag for a very special young lady...

Lined with a pocket and everything!  Hand sewing is not my favourite activity but it sure makes for a nice finished look.

And my cross-stitch piece is finally done - just have to wait for a sale to get it framed!
