Cake Stands

I made these cake stands for my friend's (Alli) wedding last fall.  They were super easy to make, all you need are: plates, candle holders or wine glasses, epoxy (a sealant used in fish aquariums), and spray paint (if desired).  It was a very fun diy - but I am now ready to have a bit more space back in my kitchen cabinets! And so I have been giving them away as gifts.  So, if you are in the Washington D.C. metro area and would like a cake stand just post a comment below and let me know! :)

A New Year

It has been a very fun year full of great food, family and friends!  Come on 2012 ;-)

Apple Pumpkin

My very first carved pumpkin!  A little gift for my guy :)

Fall Decor

I always want to decorate for the seasons - but I almost never do.  I will usually find a reason not to, such as time, money, etc.  But after putting together a bunch of crafts for my friend Alli's wedding I was inspired and ready to take it on.  And all of the decorations I put together were items that I had around the house - so no money and trip to the craft store.  Woohoo!
Again, the pictures below are taken with my iPhone.  I do own a really nice camera - I'm just a lazy git ;).  So the pics aren't exactly the best quality, but that's okay.
