hi. i only have one picture of my most recent cake baking adventure… i went on a little 40th birthday girls weekend for my pal jude. she’s a photographer extraordinaire. and loves tie-dye. so i made tie-dye cake (rainbow-y-ish). and little fondant cameras. (i can’t not say camera like jenna maroney). the end.
sew south (a way belated post).

batavia easter fun.
beware. long post. isaac and john’s spring breaks overlapped a bit, right around easter weekend. so, we decided to load up and head to new york for easter in blah-tavia. we had hoped to make the drive up in one shot. we picked up ike from school at 130. which would put us there around […]
the rest of march. and beginnings of april.
