Fréya Art & Design

Let's pick another career!

Next 3 images via 4designerd:

As I am baking and have nothing to do this summer (except study for the GREs and prep for teaching next semester), I might do some more baking:

• RecipeGirl: Margarita Cupcakes; Hostess with the Mostess: Margarita Cupcakes
  
• Cathie Cooks Food: Lemon Custard Cakes
• If I could ever decorate cupcakes like Hello Naomi! (Official web site here.)
• Since I've made Twinkies, I thought I'd make some churros too.
  

...and some fun crafts:

• American Crafts: Button and felt bouquet
  

I'm considering dropping student teaching. Not really. By the way, I'm not even signed up for school right now. I have to do this by June 1st. In any case, I'd rather become some type of designer:

• 4designerd: Valentines - I could make these.
  
• Lettergirl stamps
  
  
• KenzieKate invitations
  
  
• Finch Metal
  

Stuck at home crafts

I scrapbooked endlessly last night to the point where my eyes hurt and I needed to close them. I wasn't even very sleepy. I need some white/black letters. I have too much color on them right now.

The thunderstorms are clearing away and I was supposed to get my car inspection/brakes fixed today. I'm still going to do this, but I need to shower and stop being so lazy. :( I also have to sell my books back... maybe Monday. I have tons of them and maybe this year they will take some of the old ones back.

In a few hours, I will be busy working on some decoration. I don't know where my phone is, but I'm sure it's imperative to communicate with the people.

I was going to take mom somewhere this weekend... like Atlanta, but I'm pushing it back until Tuesday/Wednesday because 1) my car is not yet right and 2) I have to bake a cake for Monday. Why would it take me long to make a cake?

First off, I have to make fondant. Last time I did this, it was gross. Then, I am making the actual cake, a zebra cake.

Lastly, I have to use the fondant to decorate it to look like a zebra print cake like this one except less elaborate.

P.F. Chang's & Baggie Goose?

Alex and I had dinner at P.F. Chang's tonight. We had the "Chang's For Two," which included, for me, hot and sour soup, chicken lettuce wraps, sweet and sour pork, and tiramisu mini dessert. Being a Chinese food connoisseur, I was wary of the food, but actually I was surprised by the good food. Cantonese shrimp wasn't as flavorful or it just wasn't for me.

We talked about becoming interior designers and wedding planners. She told me about the Baggie Goose. Weird name, but they have a big selection.

D*LISH Design + Studio on Fire!

D*LSH Design's blog is a wedding inspiration. I love it more than those other wedding blogs filled with design boards.
