Lookie Lookie

Look what I got in the mail:

A cute (and completely handmade) mini-French message board. Thanks *Liese! I love it!

Sleepy

Yeah, I know I haven't posted in a while. I have an excuse. A valid one even. Want to know what it is? Ok. Well, I've turned into one of these:

(Minus the dancing. PS, RIP MJ)

Or, at least I feel like I have. Long story short, my neck hurts. Therefore, I'm on muscle relaxers that make me feel like the walking dead. Maybe I'll post regularly once I wake up.

Stupid Fridge

Does frozen milk disgust anyone else? I was barely able to eat my cereal this morning. Blech.

My Nephew... The MormonAd

Does this situation look familiar?
Don't worry, Zeke. There is a way out.

Finally...

Hey, remember that cute fabric I got for my birthday? The stuff I was going to use to make a valance? Well, after months of waiting to cut into it (I tend to put off cutting expensive fabric for as long as I can... I'm always paranoid I'll ruin it or find a design I like better later on) I finally finished. To find out more, check out my post at Floral Showers.

The past few weeks I've been cooking up a storm, all because I found a new (to me), wonderful cooking blog (thanks to cousin Nancy). It's called My Kitchen Cafe. And oh my word. Every recipe I've made so far has been delicious. So, so delicious.

Tonight, we had the baked chicken taquitos, and it was so good. Brad doesn't normally like corn tortillas, but tonight he did. And the bourbon chicken, coconut chicken curry, and naan... all amazing. I can't wait to try her Asian lettuce wraps, chicken tikka masala, and sticky coconut chicken. Are you drooling yet? I am...

Assistant (to the) Photographer

I'm not much of a photographer, but over the weekend I got to play assistant to my awesome photographer sister at my cousin's wedding. Mostly I just held different lenses, offered moral support, scouted out different shots, fixed my cousin's dress, etc. But I also brought my point and shoot camera along to take some candids every now and then. Pretty much I only got one good shot (like I said, I'm not much of a photographer):
Pretty good for a complete amateur right? At least I thought so... :) To see more awesome shots of the wedding, go here.

There my cute (smarty-pants) Bradley goes, off to take the MCAT. Perhaps the biggest test of his life, thus far. I'm so proud of him and know that he'll do great! Thanks for all the well wishes, support, and prayers!

Dreams Come True

Yesterday, I opened up my Flickr account, and what did I find? One Pretty Thing (aka a crafters paradise) had commented on a photo that I submitted to their flickr pool, telling me that they'd be linking to it on their next Flickr Friends Roundup! Excitedly, I checked their website, to make sure I wasn't imagining things. And I wasn't! Here is proof that I am now (basically) famous. See that earring display made out of an embroidery hoop? Yup. That's mine!

Also, I came across a button book yesterday (thanks Aunt Julie) that opened my eyes. If you think I am obsessed with buttons, think again. Check this out: The Button King. (I would post pictures, but he has copyright policies prohibiting that...)
