I’m including this post in the Den Project category since it really changes the look of our entryway, which is basically in our den; there’s not much of a foyer to speak of in our house. It updates the look of the entire room, and the result of this approximately two-month long project was certainly worth the wait.

It’s been a cold couple of weeks for us here in SC! It hasn’t gotten out of the 30s for a couple of days, which is not normal for us; it’s been windy, too. The high today is 32 with wind gusts up to 40 mph! What happened to our average February temperature of 60?! I’m staying warm on the couch snuggled under a blanket, two little balls of fluffy and fuzzy cuteness curled up next to me, with a bowl of warm tomato soup, my new favorite lunch for the past few weeks during this super cold weather. Now that you have a mental image, let’s get down to business.
Welcome to my first ever recipe post! I’ve thought about sharing a few of our favorites for some time now – and have finally decided to do it, starting with this soup recipe. It’s tangy, thick, and slightly cheesy – and ready in under 20 minutes! Continue reading
The last remaining bit of sweater after part 1 and part 2 were complete was just asking to be made into something else. I wasn’t sure what to make it into at first, so I typed in ‘sweater refashion’ on Pinterest and found this headband, which stuck with me as I continued searching. Living in the ‘famously hot’ city of Columbia, SC, there isn’t often a need for more than just a vest or a coat when I’m out and about since we drive everywhere and generally only have to be outside long enough to walk from the car to the store/restaurant/theater and right back to the car when we leave. But for the few times each year when it is cold enough to want a head cover, this one will fit the bill – for free! 
After I finished sweater refashion part 1, my feet were cold so I pulled the sleeves on like socks and walked around wearing the rest of the sweater as a pair of attached socks for the evening – probably not recommended, but I never did trip, so that’s good news. Other good news: they kept my feet warm! So I decided that what I would do with the sleeves is make myself a pair of knee-length lounging socks for days I spend a large portion of my time working on projects at home.
