Imaginary Cupcakes

Can't you taste them already?

Yum! Don't they look so delicious!

I put my piping skills to the test and made up some imaginary frosting. I took them to Game Night a month back and they were gobbled all up!

(The square root of a negative number results in an imaginary number.)

Busy Busy

and no time for photos.

I've been so busy between school, work, having Grandpa visiting and trying to spend time with Andrew that I haven't had much time to pull my sewing machine out. I did a little bit of sewing last night though making some cool-ties for a co-workers daughter who is serving in Iraq.
My Mom also picked up a sweet deal on a Husqvarna Sewing Machine and Serger for $125 from Craigslist. The sewing machine had a bunch of feet and a walking foot that I might be able to use on my Husqvarna. (We are a Husqvarna family)
I still haven't gotten around to finishing up Andrew's Christmas present. I'm going to have to find some floor space to tie it off so I can finish it up. I also need to find a backing fabric for the quilt I was making for myself. Also want to make one of these:

The Purl Bee has a great tutorial on how to make one!

I was invited by co-worker to take part in a project for another co-worker whose daughter sadly passed away recently. We are going to be making two memory quilts out of her clothes both for her mother and a close friend.

I'm still alive my computer just died!

... and school just started.

I've gotten carried away the last 2 weeks between work, school, and my computer having died that I've forgoten to write anything. Fortunatly I finally settled on a computer to buy and it will be comming Monday! I'm so excited to be back on my own computer that isn't out of date!

In other news summer quarter just started, so I've been having fun readjusting to school again after having a quarter off. I'll probobally post more on that later.

My favorite blog to follow is having a giveaway this week! Deb at Works in Progress is giving away a quilt for her 600th post!

She has been posting alot recently about beautiful quilts that she has made from vintage sheets! The colours and patterns are wonderful! My fingers are crossed for this one! I have been keeping my eye out at the thrift stores for some so I can try my had at one, but of course once they finally have some, I have no money to buy them!

Adventure Day

Andrew and I went on a small adventure today. We visited St. Edwards State Park and went on a mini hike down to Lake Washington.

The old Seminary building

It wasn't what most would consider a nice day, but in Washington, when its not raining and above 50 degrees its not so bad.

I took a second to snap this photo and found Andrew sitting out on a rock.

To end our adventure we stoped by a little family run bakery that has been around for ages, but yet neither of us have stoped into. Stocked up on delicious baked goods and Dutch imported Nasi mix.

Today is a good day, and its not finished.

Computer Issues

When your hard drive sounds like your redicilously loud cd drive you have an issue....

I started up my computer the other day to that dreded noise! Luckly it went away, allowed me to boot, and back up my important files. I continued to use it untill it started making the noise again, and now it won't stop and everytime it boots it goes to a disk check. :( I cant decide wether its time for a new laptop (mine is 3 years old and my possibly have a connection issues with the screen) or just a new hard drive. HD is much cheeper but laptop is sooo much cooler!

Awesome News!

I just picked up a camera! I'm pretty excited about it cause its pretty sweet.

This means I can finally start updating more often with awesome looking photos! Keep an eye out for new posts!

I don't mean to let this blog die so early in its life, but I feel at a stand still because I don't have a camera. Mine still hasn't turned up and I am trying to decided whether I want to spend money on a new one, or save it. (And decided if I were going to buy one, if it would be the nearly $1000 DSLR, or just a nice point and shoot like my last) Maybe I should create a camera fund! I've had a few projects in the works, but life has gotten itself in the way. Hopefully I will be posting more often shortly.
