A Post a Week. That's all we ask.

A couple of my favorite friends and I have vowed to challenge (its not exactly a challenge, but I'm highly motivated by them so I'll call it that) each other to update our blogs at least once a week. So, here goes for this week!

I've felt like quite a lucky girl this week and it just keeps getting better.

To begin with, I received a few gift cards for my birthday and huz let me spend a little extra to get these books.





I really wasn't intending to buy a book that consists only of sweets, but The Vegan Scoop really got me. It has beautiful photographs that made me crave ice cream like I never have! Here's a shot of some butterscotch ice cream I made on Sunday.

Isaac was so bowled over by it, that he had the cutest giggle attack I've ever seen from him.


I also made a shirt for myself.

Its Simplicity 2931, view C. Ignore my clashing outfit. I'm not sure I'm actually in love with this shirt and its going to take a big dose of humble pie and bravery to wear this thing out of the house. I love the fabric, but I don't think its the blouse for me. Additionally, since I've been shredding every morning for the past 28 days, I think I want something that hugs my curves a little more to show that I'm not just getting up at the crack of daylight and shocking my body with jump plies for nothing.



I also added a few things to my etsy!



Finally, my dream for a Bernina sewing machine may be coming true. I'm off to go look at one of these avocado beauties in a few minutes. My next post may be the story of how I finally made the leap to divorce my Brother sewing machine.

I already completely failed at posting 'one a week' on Sunday... so I overcompensated and posted two yesterday. Does that count?

I'm excited to check out your machine!
