Had it since November. Started to watch it on Denis' laptop since our DVD player bit the big one and we have yet to replace it. Never finished watching the damn thing. So Denis found it like 3 months later and we couldn't find the jacket envelope to send it back so we had to buy an envelope and send it through USPS. Which was like $5. Lame. Teach me not to lose that damn stuff. Next movie to get is Day After Tomorrow but still no DVD player. We really need one. Just like we need everything else. I wish the Wii could play DVD's but no such luck.
I made Barefoot Contessa's Coconut Cupcakes. They were fuckin ballin if I do say so myself. Enough butter to give you a heart attack but that is what makes them good. I was thinking about taking a picture while and after I made them - but I am too lazy.
And I hate blogs without pictures. Lame. I did buy a little hand mixer because whipping butter and sugar together by hand just fucking sucks. And we have yet to find a good deal on a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. I also bought one of those little cupcake holders and that made it so much easier to carry it to work. Plus it was a muffin pan as well so it did double duty of bake and carry.
I also made Giada's Peanut butter and caramel pound cake. It was ok. Tasted like a peanut butter cookie in cake form. I was pretty stoked when I first saw her make it on tv, but it just wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. :/
I also found this flower pin tutorial: http://jonesdesigncompany.com/tutorial/flower-pin-tutorial
Which I was totally stoked about because I love those pins and this one lady sells them on her website for like $17! And after I bought all the supplies it cost me like $15 to make my own. And that was the glue gun and glue sticks and like 60 pins for $2.99 so the more I make the more it will be worth my money. Here is the red one I made:
And a blurry picture of me trying to get Juno to model it:
She looks a little bit like chiquita banana.
Pretty awesome huh? I am going to make a fabric one next out of the fabric I brought back from Japan. So I am pretty stoked about that.
Also in other news I found my earrings that have been missing for several months as well. Turns out there was a hole in the fabric lining of my purse and they had fallen into the area between the fabric and pleather. The only reason I found it was because I was trying to find the little metal rivet that had falling into the purse before and what do I feel but an earring! Happy Day! Of course I am still missing my necklace that Denis got me for my birthday.
I have looked everywhere for it. When I found my earrings I kept feeling around in hopes that I would find the necklace in there as well, but no such luck. Sad Panda <------
I also started on my Twenty Eleven Cardigan
Pretty cute right? I am doing mine in Navy Blue. I was on a roll until I got all freaked out about moss stitch and was trying to follow her directions and wasn't sure of how to do it because I thought the pattern was off a bit and then I was reading in a knitting magazine what moss stitch was and how to do it and I was like DUH! Sometimes I read too much into things and am just not the brightest crayon in the box. But now I am confident and hope to finish the sweater soon. Maybe find a cute long sleeve shirt to go with it.
