Holy crap!

Has it really been 4 months since I last posted?  Wow... it really does not feel like it has been that long!  I wish I had something exciting to say I was doing but I really can't.  The holidays came and went without too much fanfare although I did throw my first party at my house since moving to GA in 2004.  It was a big deal for me since I am weird about having people in my house but it went well and now I host a near monthly D&D-type game.  Yes, I am a nerd and geek. :) 

New Year's Party

I even threw myself a birthday party in February!  Sadly, I did not take pictures of either party because I have a really hard time remembering to do that.  I did manage to get a picture of my macabre cake I made for my birthday party, though. :)


The cake and frosting were flesh tone and had cherry "bloodclots" in the center :)


Hubby and I managed to go on at least one road trip.  As I've posted before, we often choose an interesting sounding name on the map then find a backroad way of getting there.  This time it was Eclectic, AL.  :)  On the way there, though, we stopped at a park just outside Tallapoosa, AL and I got into a little trouble!

When good road trips go bad - next on FOX!

I ended up being on Grand Jury for 8 weeks after the beginning of the year and used my $25 a day to add to an existing tattoo I have. :) 
 

Action shot of Flaco Martinez of All or Nothing Tattoo in Smyrna, GA working on me - he is super cute so I was happy to have my hand resting on his thigh ;)
  
The patchwork heart and skull were existing.  Flaco added the art supplies around it for me.  I am really happy with it!  He's going to touch up the heart and skull for me after the rest of it heals.


So, yeah... that's my recap of the last 4 months.  I told ya not much was really going on.

I've been in a bit of a creative slump but I can feel that starting to starting to lift.  My 1-year pledge of no new clothes ended march 1st so I got some pants and a few tops which I am going to refashion.  I also have some fabric that is screaming out at me as well as some cute little 4x4 canvases that need to be painted. :)  Hopefully, soon, I will have those to post for you!

    Gorgeous tattoo! I was a bit worried that I hadn't seen you around for so long. It's good to have you back!

Got something to say? Then I wanna hear it! But if it's mean or an ad that doesn't fit with my blog theme, it may not stay for long. Just sayin'. :) And sorry about the word verification. I'm just tired of spambots invading my happy place. :P

New Apron

Still alive and still cooking A LOT!  The food blog has really taken off which isn't leaving much room for much else.  I really need to get crafty some time soon. But, I did recently find some time to design myself a brand new apron! Here's a more detailed image of my design: At least I am finding ways to combine my 2 passions! :)

Mmm, mmm, good!

There has really been nothing remarkable going on the past few weeks.  I've made a bunch of yummy food but by the time I am done cooking it, I am so excited to eat it that I forget to take pictures until I am putting away leftovers. :P  This is the only meal that made it and it's probably the most boring visually.  LOL  It was absolutely delicious, though!  I present to you roasted tomato soup and grilled ham & cheese on homemade bread!  I am not a huge fan of soup and never have been.  Tomato soup is one of the few I enjoy because it is creamy and smooth and doesn't look predigested to me.  Now that I have had this, I will never, ever be able to eat canned tomato soup again.  Ever. You can find the recipe for the soup here.   I will also be adding the Pumpkin and Mushroom Lasagna, Shepherd's Pie, and Cherry Bread recipes soon.  Even though the temps are still in the 80's (upper 20's celsius) here in Atlanta, I ...

Baby balls

Okay, that post title makes me giggle.  Titling posts is even harder for me than writing them but you'll see how I came to that one in just a bit. :) First, the baby part.  I was asked to design the invitations for a Halloween baby shower!  (Okay, I offered when I heard about it but they took me up on the offer so that's almost the same! *grin*)  The theme of the shower is Boo Crew so I took inspiration from the invite that they found where they loved the wording of but not the design... Image source ...and designed something that fits with the Boo Crew theme without outright copying it. :) They also found this idea (which I am totally stealing if a miracle baby ever happens): Image source So, of course, I made theirs to match the invite: :) Now for the balls.  LOL With my tummy issue, any time I eat anything with chocolate in it, my tummy hurts.  A lot.  Thankfully, I am not one of those girls that HAS to have chocolate eve...
