gettin' crafty

last weekend i decided to take a trip home, and it was rather wonderful. i miss a lot of things about being at home, one of those things being the opportunity to craft/bake-rather than do homework. i have no kitchen or sewing machine at school... talk about torture!!

my sister nicole-being the creative gal that she is-was making adorable felt pins when i got home... so i joined her. she made me the most amazing apple and apple tree a girl could ever ask for. i made a carrot-because, well, who doesn't like carrots?

i also made some chai spice cookies. these cookies are sweeet.. literally. they got all messy and crumbly on the trip from home back to school-but i think my roommates appreciate them no matter what they look like!

rain. rain. go away.

^i miss this-the sun and blue sky... where did they go?

it isn't that i don't like rain-i mean, i know we need it and it's good for the earth (and it makes apples grow!)-but together with the cold and the wind... it's awful. my umbrella is useless, the wind on my wet pants is chilling, and all this bus riding is making me feel awfully lazy.

but i know the spring will be beautiful and green, and that will make up for it-i hope.

stay dry.

me--i like crafts, baking... and lots and lots of apples.
