she's crafty!

i dunno who this girl is, but she is serious about sewing.

AND SO AM I PEOPLE! (well maybe not that serious, not tattoo serious) anyway....
i'm excited to get back to utah and hook it up with my quilting partner in crime (she taught me everything i know) sis packham, i'm gonna finish up the picnic quilt, then move on to my next one, which involves this:


gorgeous. just gorgeous. tbc

check!

i've always wanted to have del's frozen lemonade, it's one of those things that is sort of a famous beachy thing here and i just never made it over to venice or wherever it's located. so my friend and i were walking to lunch yesterday and there before my eyes is a del's truck! p.s. this town with their trucks! good lord! people get crazy. anyway, it was fun and the best part was there were bits of real lemon in there.
hi!

cheers!

and my lovely friend enjoying her frozen treat

if i had a list of things to do in l.a. before i moved this one would have been crossed off. good thing i've learned my lesson with lists, they just get longer.

je suis désolé

that's just me apologizing to my bucket list cause i was all like, "suck it bucket list" blah, blah, blah. and, "i'm going to mexico suckers!"

mais non.

yeah no, i'm not going to mexico. i'm not going on a cruise. and yes this does feel a little like defeat. and indeed i do feel sorry for myself. but i just don't see how it's possible to plan this trip at this time in my life.

sometimes i wonder if i will ever do the things i so wish to do. well one thing i want to do is eat mexican food all the time and i pretty much do that a lot, so.... things aren't all that bad i spose.

speaking of not going to mexico and eating mexican food, look at this. it makes my mouth water:

it's called chile en nogada and that is a walnut sauce! walnut sauce people! with pomegranates. this meal takes some tender loving care, maybe someday i'll get to try it. or maybe when i have my dream of a my own kitchen and i wear outfits like this all the time


i'll make the damn sauce all by myself. in utah.

weekend madness

unfortunately for me, did not involve my buying a new iphone. sad. it did, however, involve the viewing of many, many terrible movies. i give unto you the following three shitty movies i watched this weekend:
did you hear about the morgans? um...yeah who cares and why was sjp wearing that awful, awful wig? for reals. embarrassing.

lovely bones: great book, terrible terrible movie. so depressing and child murder was surprisingly less entertaining on screen. hmmm.....so weird. (although, at least the acting was good- can't say that for the other two).

the ugly truth: well i don't know what happened here, clearly i knew what i was getting into, but it didn't stop me from watching and consequently throwing up in my mouth several times, being offended and lots of eye rolling.
