It's mountain time!

I'm heading off to a cabin in the mountains this weekend! Of course, it's super-rainy out and I have a long drive, but hopefully the peace and quiet and beauty will compensate for that. See you sunday!


(Cutiecake: part of a custom order I just finished up)

Neat-O

My 'lil cutiecake planter is on the front page of Neatostuff today!

new planter photo shoot

it was a GORGEOUS day outside yesterday, so I took full advantage of the pretty light in the evening and went to the park to take nicer photos of my planters. people were giving me strange looks, but I didn't care. Nothing gets me down in the sunshine! I found the pretty piece of cedar at the farmer's market on friday and also got some wheatgrass (that miles LOVES, and hence why it looks a bit disheveled) for props.










In other news, I turned 28 today.

Hooray!

Ooooh exciting: the cupcake planter I listed on Etsy last night was put on the front page today! I missed it, because it sold quickly (yay!), BUT that particular treasury was put together for an article on the Storque, so the article link is still on the front page (and will stay in their archives)! Woohoo.

Some food from the past week or so!

Brunch this morning was pancakes with a strawberry-orange sauce and walnuts. Sweets for breakfast is the best.


I finally got Yellow Rose Recipes, and made the Sloppy Joannas the other night. I added Corn to mine, 'cause that's how I roll. Also, there is a dispute on how to eat these! I think they are called "sloppy" for a reason and are meant to be smothered and eaten with a fork, while other seem to be silly and think it is an ACTUAL sandwich. crazies!


I also made the Baked Samosas with Mint-cilantro chutney from YRR. I don't like mint all that much, so i modified the chutney a bit with spinach in place of fresh mint and just added a smidge of dried mint. These were yum and well-worth my fight with the phyllo dough. Oh, I also didn't add spinach to the filling like the recipe called for, but broccoli and corn instead.
