I love to approach classic, simple recipes with a bit of innovation, making both the cake and frosting extra special.<br /><br />My latest creation: Raspberry Frosting with all natural ingredients. To be frank, food coloring scares me, so I was super pleased with the lovely shade of pink I obtained with this frosting using a simple list of ingredients:<br /><br />Frozen raspberries (since we're off season, fresh would be preferred)<br />Chambord liqueur <br />Cream cheese<br />Butter<br />Confectioners sugar<br /><br />The frosting was incredible.

The good news is I'm feeling inspired. It's nice to get back in the groove. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aV9Dp5iaOVI7vCF4ViawYyMwT0R13D-EQqBIJrH9ezLJZ_xgzww7uZ7Xgy45D8B9UkfbRYPDVxKTocZ5-yrIFruLbRR8UngovJO2u-QPSObekVef3Wu_4cRhfXYqYfLMbA5d/s1600/155024_465478016399_49731356399_6255477_1390716_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aV9Dp5iaOVI7vCF4ViawYyMwT0R13D-EQqBIJrH9ezLJZ_xgzww7uZ7Xgy45D8B9UkfbRYPDVxKTocZ5-yrIFruLbRR8UngovJO2u-QPSObekVef3Wu_4cRhfXYqYfLMbA5d/s400/155024_465478016399_49731356399_6255477_1390716_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543964520127703042" /></a><br /><br />I finally listed new designs on Etsy last weekend and was awarded with a sale!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFNK4TbPEhWkq7pmyymHdqhAQ6MYKZ_CKr9XKVYyVEfU8xhVmNlYwlC6u9UcSJYy8ivP-5ZMQw3mqzW85STrYSnkfUi5rhqqC6JaY0aDXLZ6dDsfrKb5ubSj2_yt_F7KO2Ud6G/s1600/149964_1743668395004_1337572143_31968652_6974706_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFNK4TbPEhWkq7pmyymHdqhAQ6MYKZ_CKr9XKVYyVEfU8xhVmNlYwlC6u9UcSJYy8ivP-5ZMQw3mqzW85STrYSnkfUi5rhqqC6JaY0aDXLZ6dDsfrKb5ubSj2_yt_F7KO2Ud6G/s400/149964_1743668395004_1337572143_31968652_6974706_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543964837272616290" /></a><br /><br />I hope there will be more!Krystinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12904213801994042875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19990205.post-50113160316453125992010-11-20T10:11:00.000-08:002010-11-20T10:14:42.052-08:00Root to Rise<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio84KzGUvAGKo-RoXHogEtsqsQEtg15Y3Q-aGYyIMtOOEkFTD4W45Ljfw6M2zwISlcgWdb4IRm7qwQ6py-vjcA_NaXVSD2FhuTkzhEImGUWLSiHwWKspTPdauomDfTo4fQ_3vM/s1600/il_fullxfull.84761515.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio84KzGUvAGKo-RoXHogEtsqsQEtg15Y3Q-aGYyIMtOOEkFTD4W45Ljfw6M2zwISlcgWdb4IRm7qwQ6py-vjcA_NaXVSD2FhuTkzhEImGUWLSiHwWKspTPdauomDfTo4fQ_3vM/s400/il_fullxfull.84761515.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541696262543180642" /></a><br /><br />Found on Etsy, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/29237000/strong-1-mini-art-feeling">Mini Art Feeling: Strong #1 by ArtMind</a>.Krystinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12904213801994042875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19990205.post-82510569722319005142010-11-07T09:06:00.000-08:002010-11-28T13:44:59.129-08:00iPhone Cover-upI've joined the many who are now glued to their iPhones.

Beyond their glimmering red lacquered cabinets tocks a pretty white Pascal Tarabay cuckoo clock. Ever since I laid eyes on it, that amazing cuckoo clock sits on my ever extensive wish list.<br /><br />I love the new models, and I have my eye on the teak. <br /><br />They are pricy. I'm trying to imagine it being a family heirloom that will get passed down generations. Maybe that's a stretch? In the meantime I'll just stare at this image and tickle B & D's birdie from time to time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh71_rfv8MWFu-GYRORHO0-cevnctttP731ZW-vbDDp76n8Jy9c8J-lnc5R7V1kF2S3NBD7rGn96SGf7_bTWe8yA86K4bi-NAznS2nxX2FwVPgBJpGTZBOEbtM8qLM6zTATTbLX/s1600-h/Picture+15.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh71_rfv8MWFu-GYRORHO0-cevnctttP731ZW-vbDDp76n8Jy9c8J-lnc5R7V1kF2S3NBD7rGn96SGf7_bTWe8yA86K4bi-NAznS2nxX2FwVPgBJpGTZBOEbtM8qLM6zTATTbLX/s400/Picture+15.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438194213833259234" /></a><br /><br />*Sigh*Krystinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12904213801994042875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19990205.post-5929430542956127442010-02-13T14:04:00.000-08:002010-02-13T16:53:42.896-08:00Paper wall.After tearing out the built in shanty that acted as our coat closet, we discovered the worst: Our entry way has been wallpapered, painted, then wallpapered again, only to discover the last layers were put in AFTER the closet.<br /><br />Awesome.<br /><br />What does this mean? We could scrape, sand, prime, and paint (again, we've been through this already) or we can wallpaper. The problem is, a pattern that continues to appeal for years to come mat be difficult to obtain. We've got to live with this image and we have a lot of various textures colors in this already small space. Also, it must coordinate with this light:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhw8KmIGu2W9UqiJbs9JIfAZzME-VEFhlPwbPZYxyKlJe-TvSzlB-YNKbApvp8Lmil-Egsk59uQ9hJFigs6ZnufS76KewtvCoAPgg7NuLXbzAcb8ejt_aJza7bXtVmsrwz0r0h/s1600-h/Picture+9.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 287px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhw8KmIGu2W9UqiJbs9JIfAZzME-VEFhlPwbPZYxyKlJe-TvSzlB-YNKbApvp8Lmil-Egsk59uQ9hJFigs6ZnufS76KewtvCoAPgg7NuLXbzAcb8ejt_aJza7bXtVmsrwz0r0h/s400/Picture+9.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437860908704092962" /></a><br />Thanks to the four square nature of our downstairs living space, the patter would also need to tie in with every room. I would love to go with the same textured and paintable wallpaper in our living room, but the kitties think it's a built in scratching post. <br /><br />Oh, the joys of owning a century old bungalow!

Four day weekends are the best.<br /><br />After a whirlwind trip to Norfolk, VA, serious time-zone shifting and a Jäger bender, I was happy to be home on Friday.<br />Of course the weekend went by too damn fast, but it was full.<br /><br />Grease on Saturday and and <a href="http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/forecast/Content?oid=1321938":>Forecast</a> on Sunday with these <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=805930&id=699932766":>two lovely ladies</a>.

Why to you have to taunt me with hassle free returns Zappos!? I'm not too much of a shoe addict... I'm a girl who finds the one perfect pair of shoes and wears them every day until they fall apart. Despite the dollars, these pairs are making me want to expand my rotation. <br /><br />Here's a little eye candy for the ladies; two cute numbers from Camper and a nice versatile pair of Dansko boots:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVEU5RMVPIRm5f8WonqyMGn5ys9b5qpzLqG2BQ5f9UHjn_eubwGPnVuOciiMolNu7P0hyphenhyphenxFb0o7jj7sc5Vs2kv-X1M0vWC_-Zg8KK3MpRFslqSV50qPf83TDK7YobwWi8SxD9M/s1600-h/gray+sandals.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVEU5RMVPIRm5f8WonqyMGn5ys9b5qpzLqG2BQ5f9UHjn_eubwGPnVuOciiMolNu7P0hyphenhyphenxFb0o7jj7sc5Vs2kv-X1M0vWC_-Zg8KK3MpRFslqSV50qPf83TDK7YobwWi8SxD9M/s400/gray+sandals.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329484482023046770" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0BPRNUyeOuhlNwbYr769Tohyx3E_B9nYpomrhK7O97c_bv6V4zdXgcmoM1cDU33HbITUPgSLMerFwZwZCmYp5vOGiBjWW6r4_ADCdy6d6OlD49kbkhgAy_fdnolp2mOQk-ZcS/s1600-h/blue+pumps.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0BPRNUyeOuhlNwbYr769Tohyx3E_B9nYpomrhK7O97c_bv6V4zdXgcmoM1cDU33HbITUPgSLMerFwZwZCmYp5vOGiBjWW6r4_ADCdy6d6OlD49kbkhgAy_fdnolp2mOQk-ZcS/s200/blue+pumps.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329490982459862834" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxJcm7c1qwXY9ZEl_x23Z8ptXmd9SPdsGeE37CK0oWGK8uLBCh97NbzSwNPuc4HTjjxG7laYt5XKLU2TplK8leozKffXJCayPdXcjHpV0nPVLrpKjeifJJidZWfPXMgWvssZ58/s1600-h/brown+boots.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxJcm7c1qwXY9ZEl_x23Z8ptXmd9SPdsGeE37CK0oWGK8uLBCh97NbzSwNPuc4HTjjxG7laYt5XKLU2TplK8leozKffXJCayPdXcjHpV0nPVLrpKjeifJJidZWfPXMgWvssZ58/s320/brown+boots.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329489436041076034" /></a><br /><br />Hope you had a great weekend!

The designer had the good fortune of locating a treasure trove of old movable iron type during a work-study program at the New York Center for Book Arts. Originally used on hand-cranked Vandercook Proof Presses, these letters have been given new life.<br /><br />Although September is still a little way off, I think this would make an excellent 5 year anniversary gift.
