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,…
DetailsOld 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…
DetailsMade dinner the other night. It was my attempt to decorate the plates. And make two sides. I haven’t quite achieved that level of skill. Or maybe I just need simpler sides. The potatoes were a little undercooked :-/ Oh, well. Next time they will be better.

DetailsNow we continue with our making of the buttercup bag. The finished product is above 🙂 We resume by working on the outside of the bag.
I saw the Buttercup Bag from Made by Rae on How About Orange (one of my new favorite blogs). I thought it looked super cute and easy so I figured I would try it out. Perfect for some fat quarters I had bought that I just couldn’t resist (even though I have way too much fabric). Here’s…
