Hello bloggy buddies! So it's been awhile! Life has been CU-RA-ZEE the past month and blogging got pushed to the back of the line. Every time I was on my computer and saw that little Blogger icon at the top of my favorites list, I felt a little guilty. I had all intention of posting a few weeks ago, and again the next week, etc., not to mention catching up on all your wonderful posts, but it didn't happen. I finally came to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter, everyone and their Momma is busy in the summer, so things will just be slow around here for a while!
I have all sorts of things to post about, but let's start with this one. I ran...and completed my first 10K race in June. The weather was hot and miserably humid at 7am, and all of our times suffered, but what can you do!? I'm still not a huge fan of running, but it really helped me lose some lb's (I think 17 so far), so I'm thinking....just thinking, of signing up for a half marathon in the spring. Good thing I have plenty of time to back out decide.
I have to include this pic taken by a friend on the side of the course. My expression is SO weird, but he did a good job of catching me as I ran by!
I've been busy shooting away with my camera and started a 365 blog in June. Since I missed the beginning of the year, I thought it would be cool to start it on my birthday on the 4th and go from there. This pic is one of my faves so far and you can see my blog here.
This is a cake I made for a good friend's birthday a few weeks ago. I saw the idea for the outside of the cake here, and just improvised everything inside and on top.
I filled the top with chocolate covered peanuts, peanut butter cups, and peanut butter malt balls.
Inside was chocolate cake with alternating chocolate and peanut butter icing layers.
In addition to baking, running, and taking pictures (yes, in that order), I've also been sewing up a storm. I've made all kinds of baby items for my sister and couldn't really stop after that. I've already sold a few quilts, and I'm contemplating an etsy shop, as well as possibly selling things locally. If only I didn't have a full-time job and had more hours in day!
One of my favorite quilts so far!
Be back soon!
