made cupcakes yesterday from a mish-mash of recipes from chockylit: vanilla-lime cupcake PLUS guava-cream-cheese frosting. it was a damn tasty cupcake if i do say so myself. i had to pipe the frosting with a round tip, which really isn't that cute, but topped off with a blackberry (so cheap at costco right now!), no one really seemed to care.

note to self: find some info on high blood glucose. don't really know what it means, other than that i am at risk for type 2 diabetes. nevermind that i'm not grossly over-weight, have good eating habits (i heart fruits and vegetables), and work out on a regular basis. ugh. sucks. it's eating a hole in the back of my brain.

made pillow covers for couch cushions out of the table runners from our wedding with the help of this book. they are deathly boring, but they were easy to make and they get the job done. and i DID IT after talking about it for four months. now... what to do with the rest of that gorgeous fabric?

newbie!

alls i want is to be brilliant and creative. at the very least i can be creative. i want to write and craft and sew and knit and cook. i want to expand my vocabulary and be wise and charming and thoughtful. i want to love my husband well. i want to love my friends & neighbors more. i want to grow and learn new things and eat less garbage.

i made these. they're not fancy, but i think they're cute and they're for people i love. the one on the very left is for my husband. it has a little vellum envelope with an "i love you pink" paint chip in it. kind of ridiculous, but cute.
