It's been a while.

I made these today. They were delicious, if I do say so myself. I recommend their creation and consumption to anyone and everyone.

Now that I've finished my Epic Afghan Project, I feel a bit aimless. I always like to be in the midst of a craftsy sort of project. Here's something I've found that I may try to take on next:

Here's the problem: I'm not really sure how to do it. I've messed around with it for a while, but to no avail. I'm currently on the hunt for the pattern. If anyone happens to know where I could find one, I would be thrilled to be pointed in the right direction.

Life has been pretty busy lately. I'm getting a taste of the Real World Working Life and it's taking me a bit to adjust. However, I love that I get to think about things like {this} and try new {food} and read, read, READ when I come home at 5.

Happy [almost] Tuesday.

d is for d-o-n-e!

My blanket is done! I'll try to get some better pictures later as this one really doesn't do the colors justice...

"d" is also for delicate:

different:

This is a little coffee/bookshop we pass every day on the way to the beach.

It's called Fonville Press.

I need to go before we leave.

t is for tomato

{simplyhue}

Tomato. That is what I am this morning. I promise I applied sunscreen. But apparently not enough as my body is one big red mess. Oh dear.

So I'm taking a break from the sun today. Going to apply lots and lots of aloe and hope it turns to brown soon.

Besides tomato, "t" is also for thinking:

And Tuesday.

Hope yours is grand.

c is for cupcakes.

You may be tired of me talking about them, but cupcakes are absolutely the bomb. [Sidenote: not sure if saying "the bomb" is currently en vogue, but I'm going to use it anyway.]

This cupcake blog has me utterly inspired. I see baking in my future...

I'm currently at the most delightful beach house in Florida. And I'll be here all week. Life really is quite delightful at the moment. Although, my skin got rather red today and kind of feels like it's on fire...hmm...more sunscreen tomorrow.

I'll remember to take pictures.

Happy New Week.

living the post-grad life...

So I'm graduated. It happened. It was rather lengthy and I was pretty thirsty the entire time, but it was also very epic in a very wonderful way. However, in short, I recommend graduation to everyone.

So now I'm a college graduate. And this week I have absolutely no responsibilities. It's fabulous.

So here's what I'm going to do:

*Make some homemade Poptarts (thanks, smittenkitchen!)

{smittenkitchen}

*Mess around with design things. Just for fun, not for grades. Just cause I can.

{100layercake}

*Buy some flowers.

{thesartorialist}

*Take lots of pictures. I don't think I document my life as well as I should.

{poppytalk}

*Eat some cake.

{projectwedding}

*Finish my dang afghan! SO close! So close! SO CLOSE!

I worked on it a bit today. Hanna Melara can testify to this.

Any other recommendations?
