tea towels, scones and flags

found and purchased a coveted Royal Wedding tea towel. however, sadly, it won't arrive by tomorrow :( so the marriage needs to last at least 10 days until it shows up :)
i really wanted this one but it's all sold out....

but had to settle for this one, which i actually think i prefer, busy-ness has no place in my kitchen :)


bought flowers for around the house... it being the Royal Wedding and all :)

made scones (badly...) they look pertiful and all, but they taste like old boots, dry old boots and for the longest time i couldn't figure it out why... then i remembered i totally forgot the butter (in better news, this means they are fat free:)

this little piggie kept going back for more :)

he's almost one and almost walking too


received a parcel from a "Richard Ramirez" (i know of just one "Richard Ramirez" - only the most terrifying serial killer of our time!!) i carefully opened the package, fully expecting to find a freshly severed heart or something of that nature. imagine my disappointment when the parcel simply contained an ebay purchase. i should have known from the zip code: the real Richard Ramirez lives in San Quentin, CA, not Elizabeth, NJ :)


made sweet craft projects with my child because that's the kind of mother i am ;)


Blackjack sunbathed while we did some gardening :)

off to bed at 9pm so i can wake up at 1am for the Royal Wedding. whhhhhat were they thinking??! it should be at 3pm, to show greater global consideration towards the people of America who have to get up early ;)
