birthday baking

so this was the plan. bake cookies... the post-person delivered this last week and i couldn't wait to try it out. 

they didn't turn out like the front of the box. :(

i'm really crap at biscuits/ cookies. guess i just have to practice more.

oh, i ordered the cookie cutters from williams sonoma
hopefully the next lot will be better... will try a different recipe as well.

why 3d

i know i've taken my time to get here... but i arrived. i'm really over 3d but since i took so long to get to the screen to see this it was my only choice. there were only three of us in the sofa cinema at nova - i had been hoping i was just going to be alone with me, but no luck this time.

so... there was laughs and adventure. i've not had any experience of tintin before now so didn't have any expectations, well i guess my expectations really came from having names like spielberg, jackson and moffat attached. i think i wanted more than i was dished up but i'm not sure why or what. ooorrrrr... it could have just been that the damn 3d glasses were just getting in the way.

look what the post-person delivered to me

now i've just got to learn to knit more than a plain stitch... i can barely manage a purl, and my tension? pfftt... what tension. oh, the patterns in a stitch in time are so beautiful. sighh...

girlie cupcakes

baking up a valentine storm. mmm...

smells like summer

another freebie

it was nice. it was kind of romantic, maybe  a little bit beige? it did, however, spark a conversation over burgers on relationships and that stuff that supposedly makes the world go round.

no words needed

i loved this... hit the spot entirely.
