rosette felt pillow.

speaking of felt, I found an EXCELLENT tutorial on etsy the other day. a pillow filled with clusters of gorgeous felt rosettes. i love the orange but don't have a place for it so I'll have to find another suitable color. FUN!

roasted veggies.

i've been craving roasted veggies on just about everything lately. they're one of my favorite things about summer!

felt craft hearts.

remember i talked about felt crafts back here when i decorated for Valentine's Day? well it is just so easy-peasey and affordable to work with FELT, you never know when another project will pop up! i recently made baby lela a pink heart doorknob hanger for her room and tried out stitching a monogram for the first time. not bad.

next FELT project up: baby booties & some felt frames (proj courtesy of Martha Stewart). here's the how-to on the heart from my projects page.

heart shaped egg.

i LOVE making fried eggs for breakfast with our new heart shaped egg molder. it's made of rubber silicone so you can change the shape of the egg at a moments notice. sometimes i'm in the mood for short round hearts and sometimes i'm in the mood for long, SKINNY hearts. today i made a round short heart egg to fit snugly in my newest addiction, thomas' mini bagel. top with red hot and enjoy!

baby girl myers.

has arrived!!! yippeee :) Lela Evangeline Myers arrived this morning at 10:20am. 6 lbs 14 ozs, 19 inches. we hear Momma and baby are doing PERFECT. congratulations to the myers family on your sweet, new bundle of joy!!

chicken wing birthday

happy birthday carol! congrats on trying your first chicken wing & being such a good sport to put the Anchor Bar's chicken hat on.

ps - that's right. the Anchor Bar, famous for the 'very first chicken wings' opened here in Rochester. like a block away from my work. YUMMMMM.

Face2Face Tour Re-scheduled!

On July 24th, Allison and I were seriously, SERIOUSLY disappointed when the Elton John/Billy Joel concert was postponed. Like WHO DOES THAT?!? Apparently Billy was having a 'bout of exhaustion. Well we got good news today - the concert has been re-scheduled!! Woo-hoo :) It's about darn time. 6 months later we'll get to see them. Billy - I'm hoping you're well rested by Dec 4th!!

ultimate white cake.

if you enjoy cake, live near a Wegmans and haven't tried their Ultimate White Cake yet - bring one home tonight!! i'm a super-duper cake lover and this one is INCREDIBLE. tastes better than most wedding cakes and blows the ultimate right out of their ultimate chocolate cake (which was pretty darn good). last week the store was giving out $1.00 coupons that can be used on either size, so i took a few extra :)

it's the mildly sweet vanilla buttercream that does it for me. i'm getting HUNGRY just thinking about it!

dougie's 60th.

If you see the GOOSE buy him a beer because he's 60 today!!

Happy Birthday DOUGIE :)
