I'm still alive!

Just a quick post to let you know that I'm still alive and kicking. I've been traveling internationally for business and was away for more than 2 weeks in August! Needless to say, it's been a busy time before, during and after my trip. Now that I'm home safe and sound I'm trying to play "catch-up" but it's been tough. There's housework to be done, meals to be cooked (groceries to be purchased) and it seems like everything is on the fritz! Both Terry's car and my car have been in the shop, our garage door has something wrong that isn't covered by our home warranty and Eric's car has a big crack in the windshield. When it rains it pours!

Aside from that, we've also got a busy week with picking up Terry's car tonight, a LAX BOD meeting tomorrow, Justin's first football game on Wednesday, Varsity game on Friday and our anniversary on Saturday. So far, nothing for Thursday but I'm sure something will come up! Thank goodness it's a long weekend.

I've been working on getting my photos cleaned up and hope to post them soon. Be on the lookout - some of them are pretty cool, especially if you appreciate architecture like I do. Here's a tease....

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
