I have been working this week on building a video to show Sunday in church about our adoption. It’s a big undertaking. Just five minutes of music and photography could take me two weeks solid. But I don't have two weeks. There are so many det...

I made a bunch of these last week for the holiday. Lots and lots of bunnies. They are little icing bunnies with pecan ears. Very quick and fun to make. The eyes on the chocolate ones show up better than the eyes on the white ones. Ki...

A More Perfect Union. A speech by Barack Obama. I haven’t followed this story closely, but I am curious and perplexed about how Obama’s pastor has become a big news story and how this story has lingered in the news as long as it has. I’ve lis...

I’m planning the Chocolate for a fund raiser coming up next month. Since we are adopting from Colombia I’ve used the flag colors of red, blue and yellow as an inspiration for the colors and flavors for the chocolate. And I’ve looked to South A...

I’m in love with the alphabet! I have been taking photos of things that look like letters for about a week now. Since I started this project everything looks like a letter of the alphabet to me. Hubby drove me through town this afternoon and...

Today I went on a scouting mission. I checked out an available shop space. I know the price is really reasonable. It’s in a historic area next to an excellent quilt shop and just down from one of my favorite restaurants that is really popular ...

The signal that the end is near

This is the lovely little cake the signaled the end of my bakery employment. I think it turned out really cute, but I went through enough drama over this one cake that it made me realize a thing or two. It is time to begin the end of my time th...
