Crockpot Fail (almost)
Ooops. I didn't actually calculate the time that I would be out of the house and therefore the time that the pot roast would be in the crockpot. I mean, you just throw stuff in the crock pot, magic happens, and then you get dinner ( Read more... ) -
My Mom's Bracelet
I've been a little (okay, a lot) procrastinaty on my jewelry work recently. This is a bracelet that I designed for my mom for Christmas. It originally had more charms on it (think traditional charm bracelet), but I decided that it was too busy with the crystals, so I pared it down to the three here.

ATTN: Late Night Seattle Peeps
I would like to draw your attention to this new restaurant: The Night Kitchen
It looks very promising and I am assured that it is run by Supercool People(tm).
It's refreshing to have a real restaurant open so late (as opposed to IHOP or Sharri's or Denny's), especially with such a full menu. I definitely want to check it out!
