FINALLY

I FINALLY made the Ice Box Dessert. A fruit Parfait.

You know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait"? Parfaits are delicious! 

Parfait's gotta be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet! -Donkey


Well here is mine. And it WAS delicious!! Everyone said it was at church, the only reason I had left overs was because we ran out of forks! Next time though, I"m going to make the Lady Fingers myself instead of buying them from the store. I'm sure I can make some that don't taste sooooo....store bought---ey. . 

Again with the iritating Phone Camera...where is my REAL Camera?!?!?!?

Also I wanted to make a comment about the new salon I go to. I LOVE it there. It's totally quirky, but I always end up with an amazing haircut.

Here is my new haircut I'm so uber excited about! :D

I think it kind of makes me look like Jean Crain. I <3 her!!!

Yay for Chop Tops <3 you Jenny D! On to June's assignments, but I'm going to be in LA for most of July.
Amy Barrickman is talking about Neighbors (I don't know mine and I've lived here for almost a little over 2 years now.) Embroidery, making a summer purse, and Summer Refreshments. P.S I thought a mint Julep was Iced Tea alcohol and mint, but this is saying it's ginger ale mint and lemons and oranges.Most of those should be fairly easy and I can finish them before my trip to LA next week. I'm thinking about having peeps over next Sat. for some cake for my Birthday. I can make some version of the Mint Julep then...maybe I should try to meet my neighbors this month?


I've been working on that hat, it's taking me a long time...longer than I expected, though when it's finished it's going to be uber cute. In the meantime I've been also working on some baby clothes for my God child, Andy. I get to see him in one week exactly!!!! Oh, and can I just say, speaking of the baby an baptisim etc. I have this pink dress I LOVE, but it really needs a full slip because it buttons down the whole length and is a light cotton so if I bend the right way it tends to gap. Since when did people stop making full slips?!?!?!?!? I haven't been able to find ONE. The other day I was browsing at a dress shop near my house, (I'm sure she hates me 'cause, I buy something maybe once a year, but I go in there at least once a month.) and they had some vintage lingerie and low and behold-full slips from the 50's and 60's. My monthly browsing paid off. The one I got is a little too big, but I can take it in if I need to. 

Did I mention?

When I say "this month" I mean from the 20th to the 20th 'cause that's when I get paid. :P I am going home next week. My mom has this material I got for a scarf a couple months ago, and I need to decide what kind of yarn I am going to use for this hat. I used to own this awesome crocheted beanie I wore all the time that I bought from Thomas Jefferson's house. I loved it! I have no idea what happened to it. :( Sad day. It wouldn't match my sense of style anymore anyway...

I've also been working on my version of the Evelyn Carey Painting. I'm still in sketching mode but here is what I have been working on. Her breasts are too large and I can't decide on the face. These pics are with my sucky camera phone again...Oh where oh where did I put my camera?!?!?!
