Sample mint brownie, don't mind if I do.

Test shot.

November 26, 2010

I spent the day hard at work on the many projects I have going at once.

November 25, 2010

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you that eat turkey!

And an even happier thanksgiving to those of you that get to eat the best green bean casserole I've ever had.

Holidaystravaganzawesomeness Part I

We started at 6:30pm and called it quits at 1am. Now that's a lot of crafting.

November 23, 2010

It's about time to start holiday baking with some spiced pumpkin cookies.

Lately my cat is becoming more of a lap cat, especially in the morning when I have hot coffee and oatmeal that she can make me spill by jumping on my lap. But you can't get mad at something so cute.

November 22, 2010

I had lunch at a tea house with a friend who was in town. I had a delicious cup of apple caramel black tea with toasted almonds.

I then got to pet one cute cat, before continuing to work on my craft projects.

November 21, 2010

I've got about 8 different craft projects lined up which I've been collecting new supplies and materials for. I'm really excited about them all. I promise, they're not all cat related.

November 20, 2010

I watch the daylight disappear way too early in the evening.

November 19, 2010

Self portrait 300/365. I'm on day 300 already.
It's become such a part of my day that I can't imagine not doing it.

November 18, 2010

Some days even the cat wakes up skeptical.

I must be doing something right. My Christmas cactus has buds!!!

November 17, 2010

Tonight I met my friend's new kitten, Jack. Hello Jack!

I said "pose for me" and he did this with the toy I made for him. Oh he's a smart one.

November 16, 2010

This is a "failed" attempt at my self portrait for the day taken while cooking dinner. I say failed because I wound up using a different image.

November 15, 2010

I'd never cooked with rainbow chard...before now. I made a beet risotto with greens. Yumm.

November 14, 2010

Another batch of soup stock simmers of the stove. It's one of the few things I've made enough that I'm comfortable doing from memory and not having to look at the recipe.

November 13, 2010

Another surprisingly sunny warm day!

November 12, 2010

What's that gull doing so far from water?

November 11, 2010

Crazy eyes!

November 10, 2010

4:42pm. Sunset comes early, too early.

November 9, 2010

Fall and winter meet like runners at the baton pass.

November 8, 2010

First snow fall of the season! Coincidentally the first day (post daylight savings time) that it was completely dark out when I left work, which was ok by me only because there was snow as well. I love snow, it may be winters greatest redeeming quality.

November 7, 2010

Finally, I got a relaxed Sunday morning with all my chores out of the way, I could sit and enjoy my book while sipping a cup of coffee (or two).

November 6, 2010

Cat lost in a jungle?!

November 5, 2010

It was a calm peaceful day. And I finally got to spend some time with my cat during the daylight hours.

November 3, 2010

The silhouette of leaves against a richly colored sky always gets me. That's what I feel in love with again today.

November 2, 2010

I don't understand why others don't stop and stare at things the way I find myself doing all the time. Literally stopping to look at the setting light through a window. The crispness to the air. The way lines make shapes of space.
