Devouring life, one bite at a time
One of the most important things for me to do right when I got to New York was go to City Bakery near Union Square. My old roomie and I were happy to share some sweets and a coffee together, only we are usually not …
Photos from a lovely day in Central Park with my beautiful friend from college. Enjoy!
Loved the decor, and even though I had a lengthy one-dish meal on my own, no one was rushing me. Quite the opposite! They went out of their way to get me the internet password and rehydrate me with millions of water refills.
Look forward to going back next trip!
I’ve been in a good mood this week. The days are longer, the world is warming up, and last but not least, my elbow is finally showing some signs of normalcy! Last night I went to yoga for the first time since my fall in …
Here they are at 2 days old.
They aren’t cute at all, are they?

So here’s my basic start into my sewing stock, and the work in progress for perfecting my craft room (of which there will be a post, just as soon as I can get it into presentable shape for the “after” portion of the before and after transformation!).
-pin cushions
