Raspberry Mini Cheesecakes

Utility Apron
Some photos from a utility apron I made for Jamie to give as a Christmas gift to a fellow elementary school teacher… I like to call it my first “paid gig”. After countless arguments about how much to charge for my labor (I insisted on …
Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2009
As a belated follow-up to the Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2010 post, I’m dedicating this entry to the fruits of my labor circa December 2009. To date, the Penguin Cupcakes I made last Christmas have been my favorite baking project, albeit the most laborious. That means blog …
Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2010
Happy New Year! I’ve also been a bit sick the last couple of days, so I thought I’d spend the time updating here instead of circulating my germs in a new baking or crafts project. The holidays are an infamous time for reveling in buttery, …
Baby Gift Set

Pot Holders and Oven Mitt
Today’s post is inspired by my stop at a Crate and Barrel outlet on the way home from a bachelorette party weekend in Palm Springs. Needless to say, it was a very fun weekend with some of the most amazing women I’ve known for more …
Peanut Butter Chocolate Mini Cheesecakes
***UPDATE – August 10, 2018*** As I am slowly going migrating posts from the original blog to this new domain, I have to really laugh (and cringe) at what a n00b I was on so many levels when I started this blog. First of all, …
Puppets for Goodnight Moon Music Video
The real kick in the butt to turn this blog from mere topic of dinner conversation to the real thing was from Alex and Lingie over dinner a couple of weeks ago. They are two of the funniest, most creative, and biggest dreamers I know. …
