hunger buzz

I have an insatiable appetite with unlimited food porn (see Serious Eats, CHOW, Epicurious, etc.) at my disposal. It's funny how my brain switched from a "meh" attitude towards cooking into a full-blown foodie (to be frank I hate the word 'foodie' and all its connotations --- but alliteration for the win!).

I'm undertaking a couple summer projects including (but not limited to):

• re-paining our garden gnome --- if he turns out cute I'm stealing him for my future place of residence
• embroidering some realistic-looking butterflies into patches of some sort
• crocheting an afghan similar to this one (see above picture) from anthropologie
• organizing my thread collection (it's huge but I cannot resist a good floss bargain)
• creating some handmade cards to send to my boyfriend, best friend, and grandmamas
• putting together some inspiration journals with magazine clippings, etc.
• establishing an etsy store of sorts
• and lastly, working on this blog to make it great!

If I had some more cash I'd probably try my hand at some furniture restoration. Sigh, summer isn't everlasting.
