Bundle of Lime

This past Friday was my birthday. Plans were originally minimal but the festivities started early. On Tuesday, we had a flourless chocolate cake at work, baked by my boss's husband. Her husband's recipe is a particularly scrumptious one (and secretive - I have been trying to get the recipe from him for a couple of years now).

My intention here is to cover anything and everything crafty that suits me at the moment, but I do tend to have some focus (oooo, shiny...) ...What was I saying? Anyway, my posts will probably tend to focus on sew...
