It’s been a while since I lasted posted. Over a month I think. Things got busy. But now I’m back to some stuff. To kick things off, here’s an amazing sushi roll I had at Ten Ichi in San Francisco. It tasted as fabulous as it looks.
When did Batman call in Scooby Doo and Shaggy as backup? I don’t remember that part of either cartoon . . . Was at a fabric store yesterday and found this fabric. It’s fleece. Perfect for decorating your kid’s room and making them the subject of ridicule at school when they swear to all the…
I like the way this one came out even more! This time I used a home dec weight fabric for the base of the bag and corduroy for the sides and handles. The stiffness is much more to my liking. I also stitched the lining to the outside beneath the snaps to make it stronger…
For the aforementioned Memorial Day BBQ, I also made some chocolate chip cookies. I use the Cooks Illustrated recipe. These weren’t as chewy as usual, but still pretty darn good. I also painted the plate. Yes, it’s a plate specifically for chocolate chip cookies–I like them that much 🙂
Strawberry rhubarb pie is by far my favorite. Hubby and I had friends over for a BBQ for Memorial Day and I made pie because they had rhubarb at the store and lots of strawberries. It came out wonderfully delicious. Mmm  . . . and I liked the star cutouts too 🙂 The pre-oven picture…
How cute is this? A little mini can of wine. It came with the matching straw. I wanted to try out this wine and they had these little cans which meant I didn’t need to buy a whole bottle. Plus it’s so cute. It looks like the perfect drink to take on a picnic if…
And it’s done! You can see it’s very reversible. I have it tied in the back on the left and in the front on the right. I love it and think it came out totally cute! Can’t wait to make more 🙂
A while back I had posted about wanting to make the Emmeline Apron. I mean, a while back. Got the fabric and everything. But time passed . . . And I found new fabric. Now I wanted to make it out of cupcake fabric (see above). So I bought some of that. I was now…
A while back I had jury duty. To cheer myself up after lunch, I stopped by Citizen Cake and got a cupcake. I selected the lovely cookie dough cupcake you see above. It was quite delicious and worth every calorie. They did an amazing job capturing the flavor of cookie dough in the frosting. Yum,…
Old photo from back in March. Remember the bake sale from last year? Where I made marshmallows, toffee and cupcakes? Well, same bake sale this year except this year I had to be out of town. Yeah, I know. It killed me too not to be able to make tons of cupcakes again. Especially since…
