weekend mishmash

lemon cream and milky way pie/no bake cheesecakes from curry and comfort, made with neufchatel cheese and light/low fat [chemical high] cool whip and homemade graham cracker crust. [harvey wallbanger cupcakes with triplesec cream cheese frosting on the very right]. background-hand painted pong table. which is my excuse for a crappy crappy picture of homemade desserts.

seen in brooklyn. idk if its just an art piece or if its the faile/bast studio?

welp. bandwagon, meet me. i had joined pinterest awhile ago [a year or two] and thought eeeeh i dont care about other people's inspiration pictures and crap. then i discovered about... a week ago the brilliance of using pinterest as a visual bookmark saver.

i have since added a bunch of crap [aka pins] into the following categories: sewing inspirations-aka shit to sew, jewelry to make-in the event that i have massive amounts of free time, recipes-cos i really cant ever thing of things to cook without some kind of motivation, books to read-self explanatory, tutes-tutorials, and liz's pinboard-general otherwise uncatergorizable shit-like pretty things.

i also notice a lot of bloggers using pinterest for outfit ideas, but i generally use actual blogs for creative dressing and dont need yet another excuse for pinning more things.

check it out. or here

cos its a cute little button. and if you want an invite, just request in a comment.

fruits of my labor

cherry tomatoes

a single eggplant

a real grown up bell pepper!

it really annoys me that the focus is on the stakes in the back, rather than the variegated tomatoes in the foreground. in my defense, it was 100+ degrees and i was sweating taking pictures.

in other news, the heat FINALLY broke and it is a normal 85 during the day and a brisk 65 at night. gorgeous. and much deserved after my roommate and i spent friday night from 11pm until saturday at noon without electricity. and no it wasnt a rolling black/brown out. a transformer or something blew outside our house so our neighbors had electricity...but the 10-15 houses in the other direction were absolutely screwed. when the a/c turned off we decided to open the windows..and 95 degree heat came blasting into the living room. at 11:30 at night!! needless to say it was a rather miserable night that warranted a trip to the fabric store the next day.

my future holds projects galore! [saturday was going to be crafts day anyway, but it is quite difficult to operate a sewing machine without any power.]
