oh my, peach pie!

Not too long ago, I tried my hand at my very first fruit pie. It was peach season, and what better way to use peaches than in a peach pie! I think it ended up being pretty delicious. My roommate thought so too!

One edge was a little crispier than many would like, but it's hard to keep those little hand made foil pie cover pieces in place!


All in all I was pleased with the final product! I guess pie making isn't so scary after all!

from hydrangeas to peonies.

I am loving the cut flower selection at Trader Joes these days!

Lovely day for a bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table...

extra, extra.

It may seem I've had quite a few posts lately and all of a sudden.  That would be because I have two weeks free from classes! So I'm taking advantage of the time to be crafty.  As I worked on my first apron creation, my creative space turned into a mess of extra fabric scraps and pins.  I found this tutorial that would make good use of both!

summer came for a day.

We haven't had too much sunshine lately, so I took the opportunity this weekend to take some photos of the evidence of summer.

Let's all hope the sunshine comes to stay someday soon!
