favorite corners

sweet & light little soufflé

i used low-fat greek yogurt to make these sweet little soufflé so they're really light and fluffy.

sunny sunny monday in kirkland...

it was such a beautiful day today. i happened to be in kirkland in the afternoon. it was so beautiful by the waterfront. i hope the parents don't mind that i took pictures of their kids :P but they're so cute playing with the ducks!

corset

i am making a corset for the first time! :) eventually this (along with the skirt i will make later) will by my halloween costume this year! dorothy of course :P


i created the pattern on newsprint...


cut out the fabric. make two pieces.


sew them together...


the ribbon would go in the middle


voila!
