good morning octoberites! another beautiful day, another gorgeous cup of coffee. aaaahhhhh. (not to be confused with AAAAAHHHH!)
i tried a new culinary project last night with mixed results (and just realized i never took a picture of it to post, darnit!). i made corn muffins with cream cheese/honey "frosting", a dried apricot soaked in wine and sauteed with crispy bacon crumbled on top.
this one has a lot of facets that could go awry. unfortunately, the easiest part, the corn muffin, i didn't quite get right!
so for the next attempt i have to get my corn muffins (hee hee) more moist and delicious, then i'll master the cream cheese "frosting" and reconsider the fruit. alone the apricot was delicious but it may be too much going on. i don't know, i'm not known for external simplicity...so the apricot may stay.
i hope you guys could follow that, my coffee hasn't quite kicked in yet and i surely need it.
have a spectacular friday, friends!
adieu,
lu

who could ask for anything more?
IT'S FALL!!!! sort of... happy first day of october and thank the heavens it is wonderfully in the 60's today (unfortunate high of 85 but i'm refusing to actually accept that)!
i am mulling over the projects i would like to accomplish this month. i have some fantastic craft books that i feel like sifting through.
here's a few ideas i'm thinking of right now (subject to change because well, i'm me!)
1. making recycled paper bowls.
2. making felt slippers/moccasins.
3. i have been inspired by an artist on etsy (surprise) who makes wreaths out of yarn and fabric. http://www.knockknocking.etsy.com/ $50
i don't want to rip off her idea, but i want to do a lulu version of this. i have so much fabric in my house and broken bits and baubles. some left-of-center wreaths may be just what the psyche ordered! hey, it's worth a shot, right? and isn't this fabulous?!?
4. i have a photographic project in mind for a few people on my christmas list...
