Sorry for the delay in posts again… I was in Scotland! On that note, I just came across a hilarious Instagram page… be sure to follow @scotch_trooper Here are a few of my favorites!

In an effort to distract myself from the sad news of the day, I came across the Jacket Everyday™ project. What a clever idea! The Ottowa Based Art Director, Steve St. Pierre asks people to submit the title of their life story and then he designs a book jacket cover to match the title. Here are some of my favorites:

In the past, I have dabbled in cross-stitch, even finding some really fun/funky pattern sellers on Etsy. I must admit that I can only appreciate the beauty that is embroidery! One Artist that has caught my eye lately is Sarah K. Benning. Take a look at her work, it is beautiful, and of course features succulents! Notcot has a great little post about her too… with even more photos.

After taking the Moroccan Cooking class at the Baltimore Chef Shop, Aaron and I decided to make our own preserved lemons, which were a key ingredient in some of the dishes we made. The Chef Shop has a great step by step guide here, but here are a few a few pics we took while making our own. We used Meyer Lemons, which are said to be sweeter, I’ll report back in 6 weeks as to the success of this endeavor.

Friends! I know it has been a while, but anyone who knows me is aware that I have been just a tad overwhelmed lately. I am going back to the blog. Here is an illustration from design is mine, that struck me! Happy Thursday!
