Crepes!

See--look! I've already posted again and it's been only 5 minutes!

I just wanted to point out a really lovely crepes recipe to anyone who is interested. We have recently started participating in a Supper Club, and the last theme was "A Night in Provence." We were charged with bringing dessert. My husband wanted to make crepes, which was fine. I did all of the prep, including making the batter, but the actual cooking of the crepes was left to my husband, who is much more skilled at things that involve the stove top. Anyway, here's a link for CREPES DE NOIX AUX FRAMBOISE ET FIGUES. The review from "A Cook" in Durham is me!

New Year's Resolution--Blog on the Procrastination Blog

So, here's the thing. This is a blog set up as a tool for procrastination. But, with my carefree non-graduate student life, I just don't have that many things that end up "waiting for tomorrow." So now I feel like the blog has turned into a bit of a responsibility...hence the lack of posts. But at least the lack of posting has been due to me doing fun things, and not killing mouse babies.

But, I'm going to try to be better about posting, especially because I have quite a few crafty endeavors in my life right now.

I've been trying to get my Ravelry page caught up. I recentnly got pictures of this market bag that I finished back in September for my friend Laura D. Also in the works are some baby things (for OTHER people's babies) and a warm and cuddly "shoulder cozy." The shoulder cozy is nearly finished, and I should have pics up soon.

I also promise to put pictures of my Christmas cards up soon. Here's a sample of one that I did with Laura, Jen, and Jessica.


I'm also looking forward to tomorrow, which is my first Wilton Cake Decorating class at Michael's! I don't think we'll do much at the first class, but I will try to remember to post pics of my progress!

Anyway...till next time, happy crafting!

Martha Stewart's - Cookie of the Day

Dissertation = Done!

Yup....that's right. I finally finished writing! I'm quite impressed with myself, because meeting my deadline didn't involve any all-nighters or involve any major disasters!

Here's the proof!

I'm Being Naughty

So........I really don't have time to be blogging right now. I wouldn't even call this procrastination, this an instance of very poor prioritizing. My dissertation is nearly finished....just doing some last minute changes from my advisor (who I think in general was positive about it). But, this thing has been frying my brain, so I took the night off yesterday and..............made a card......

Our friends had a baby yesterday, and what kind of disaster would it have been if I had arrived to visit without some sort of handmade token? As it is, I still need to add buttons to the baby bibs!

Anyway....here it is for your viewing enjoyment!

Sydney: Yarn Hound

I couldn't resist putting this up. Sydney was nestled up on the couch with one of my knitting projects last night, and my husband got this pic of her...

Baby knitting....with pictures!!!

Not too much time to go on and on about things....but I did want to put up some pictures of some things that I have been knitting. I've been spending almost all of my bus time with 100% cotton yarn....I was really in a book thing for a while, but I just got stuck on Life of Pi. I'm going to have to pick somthing else soon....

I have been pretty busy with school lately. The pressures on, and I hope to defend my dissertation at the end of July or beginning of August. I did take some time this past week to update my "stash" and "projects" on my Ravelry page. Here are a few of them:
