new things

We’ve been so busy lately with the house, unpacking & the new kitten that i haven’t had much time for crafting. In fact, I don’t even have a proper chair in the craft room yet. I did manage to whip up a dinosaur hat for my favorite godson in time for Saturday’s backyard party. However, I did not manage to get a photo of it.

In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to take a look at some photos of the new kitten and his BFF, Fwankie.

I won a giveaway from painted fish studio, I’m super psyched to receive a wires t-shirt of my very own. err. husband’s very own.

This little “innocent” is currently gnawing on my thumb & bunny-kicking my arm. Little badly.

my weekend in food

This past weekend was filled with lots of yummy food. Some good for me, some definitely not.

The boy simply HAD to have a Simpson’s pink sprinkle donut from 7-11, so we split one late Friday night.

And Saturday we were lured to Dairy Queen in order to try their new Waffle Bowl cones, which were super overrated & way too sweet. I mean, seriously too sweet.

We attended a vegetarian birthday potluck Saturday evening where we sorta made up for our previous gluttony with delicious veggie cuisine, including my contribution, a cucumber & couscous summer salad. I added a can of chickpeas to the recipe found here.

And Sunday morning I made whole wheat French toast & used up the last of my peaches in a delicious uncooked compote.

In non-food news, I cannot stop listening to Bishop Allen’s latest album, The Broken String. It is some serious goodness.

Some serious cuteness is Dahlia trying to distract me from a large consignment order!
