Cute baby banner...

by me.

For my mom's friend from work.

It was for her baby shower this weekend.

She's going to hang it in Lily's room.

Love the colors in this one.

Last week...

was a blur & today was the start of another.

Which is why it took me a week to post.

But that's ok because I found this blog,

http://tbpdesign.blogspot.com/

which was a super, just by chance find.

I was searching for "blurry photography"

to go along with this post & because

I've always loved blurry pics, which

led me to find these beautiful pics from

this website by this artist,

Happy browsing & cheers to drinking on Monday!

Newest project...

are moss covered letters in different sizes,

to be hung on the wall or set on a shelf.

Each will have a different fabric backing,

as well as the option of having a

variety of birds, butterflies, etc.

attached to them, OR

without anything attached in sets of

funny words in varying fonts

for a more modern feel.

They have numerous possibilities.

Still playing with the design & might do some

with the fabric showing on the sides.

example of the fabric backing.

that will be added to my etsy shop.

Finishing up a few more things &

then my shop will be up & running!

To be continued...

I prefer still life as opposed

to pieces of movement

because it makes you feel like time

has stopped for just a moment,

allowing you to find quiet among the chaos.

So pretty.

Happy Friday to you...

& an even happier Friday for me, because...

I'M GOING TO GREECE

(Πάω στην Ελλάδα-Pao stin Ellada)!

HOORAY!

This is a funny post from me...

but it had to be done.

I am not a cook, it's just not something I enjoy.

I do it out of necessity & most of the time

I make things that don't involve a lot of

ingredients, a lot of time or any cooking at all.

I usually eat fresh dishes with organic

vegetables & fruit, cheese & the addition of

some sort of bread, tortilla, wrap, etc.

But...last night was different.

I had picked an eggplant from the garden &

was determined to make something great from it.

The result was a complete sucess

& I was so proud of myself

I had to take a picture of it

(of course after I tasted a couple bites)!

It was my version of eggplant parmesan

because I didn'thave a lot of the required ingredients

I just went with the flow.

Below is the list of what I used

for my own future reference:

Sauce-1 1/2 cans of tomatoes, capers, garlic, olives,

basil from the garden, olive oil, salt & pepper

Eggplant-sliced, then a wash of flour, eggs, s&p,

covered in homemade bread crumbs, oregano

& put in the frying pan

Cheese mixture-havarti, feta, buffalo mozzarella,

parmesan, eggs, s&p,yellow onions, more basil & garlic

Then to the baking pan I added a layer of sauce,

lasagna noodles to cover, then the eggplant,

cheese mixture & repeated,

added a parmesan topping & baked for 45 min. @ 350.

It was so good I'm eating it for lunch too. Yum!

Has anyone else cooked a great vegetarian meal lately?
