i left grant's ipod touch in the cup holder on the treadmill at the gym. someone took it and didn't turn it in. my stomach hurts with disgust for the sleezebags at gold's, and anger at myself for being so dumb. i need to lay in bed with a diet coke and watch the rachel zoe project. guilty pleasures always make me feel better.

the wallpaper quilt
that i love florals is not new news. i've been collecting vintage floral fabrics for forever. i decided to finally allow them to be cut up once i got the picture of this quilt in my head. vintage wallpapers were the inspiration, hence the name. cate was so happy when i made her bed up with the wallpaper quilt. and she adores the butterflies who are flying off with her dreams.(i bought them at the craft store and used poster putty to attach them).
want to make one too? i will share my fabric with you! i've made up a few kits that are now for sale in the shop- the quilt is twin or large throw sized. included in the kit are 165 pre-cut squares and the binding using over 25 different delightfully girly fabrics for you to sew up. the skill level is very very easy. you could easily adapt the baby quilt instructions from my sidebar.

this is my favorite salad dressing
i don't make it a lot because of the high sugar content but sometimes i just have to have it. it is so delicious over a bed of baby spinach, mushrooms, and crumbled bacon. and, of course, some strong italian cheeses. enjoy!
red onion and poppy seed dressing
slice a medium red onion and put in a jar.
mix 1 c. sugar, 1/4 c. white vinegar, 1/2 c. canola oil, 1 1/2 tbsp. poppy seeds, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. dry mustard. pour over onion and close lid. (it will be very thick and may take some prodding).
refrigerate overnight. shake the jar to mix completely and toss with salad just before serving.
a sweet little giveaway
my friend ashley makes the cutest little bobbies. i love the little feminine touch they add to my cute, freckled, cate. ash was kind enough to donate some flower bobbies (three to be exact) to be sent to one of you! if you'd like one, just leave a little comment and i'll pick a winner in a couple of days, and send them off. good luck!
oh, and go visit ashley on her blog, or in her etsy shop.
