Hail the Size of Golf Balls

Ok, so it's only hail the size of pencil erasers. NEVERTHELESS, a perfect day to update a blog. It's been a long time! A few notable events have occurred this past month. 

Recap: 

1. My birthday! (April 5. Was in Amsterdam.)

2. My birthday dessert party (in Italy)

3. Cooked some delicious food

4. Made a project page for my thesis collection (insect inspired women's clothing) on Kickstarter- Successfully funded!

My birthday & dessert party were equally as sweet! As for the delicious food, I made "Zucchini- Parmesan Squares". I didn't make them in squares, though. I made them in mini dishes (like appetizers).. pictures below! If you're interested, the recipe:

Also made banana fritters, but I'll save those for next time.

Free At Last

I am free at last from the chains of 7th semester work (only to be imprisoned once more in 2 weeks. The dreaded 8th semester!!!) 

I'm only being a tiny bit dramatic, & I'm not even dreading starting class again- just really happy to have a little time off. Actually, this whole semester will be dedicated to my final collection which I haven't talked about all that much in this blog, but it's inspired by insects. Enough about me! I have so many pictures that need to go up here. I got back from Berlin yesterday, & have some really sweet images, but I'm a little backlogged. SO! You're gonna have to wait for those bad boys. Here's the catch up from before I left for Germany:

 We all went out last last weekend for Isadora's b-day

We all know my dream is actually food photography

I come home from one of the busiest days Isadora & I have had all year, and she is standing in the kitchen making these little savory pastries. So amazing.

 

The finished product!

Next up: Berlin
