I found a new blog friend. well, she is my friend. she doesn't know about me. yet. I love her blog and pretty much love her life. What a gem of a woman.

The last 24 hours have been simply domestic and wonderful. Baking (chocolate cups with mascarpone cheese and raspberries; macaroons), cooking (homemade gorditas and corn tortillas), and sewing a darling apron using ruffles for Jenny DoanEspe (don't esk me). I'm now determined to use ruffles on everything, grow in my sewing skills and make myself a dress. I went to Beverly's to grab some wonderful teal polkadot fabric to start my dress. I only wish you didn't have to wash fabric first--as with most Americans, I have a problem with delayed gratification.

I've usually been hesitant with posting blog updates that don't share something profound or insightful--sharing a process or new bit of wisdom. But it's becomming more and more appealing. If only I could become a better photographer so that I could post some of my creations, garden, life with you all. Ahh, the joys of being able to share things with strangers. It's just so weird but it helps to reflect on how wonderful my life is.
