Last night I tried out a new recipe and boy is it good! It was really easy, but looks impressive. A perfect treat. Chocolate hazelnut baklava, try it out yourself!

Black Shorts 2 by Runder and Mightning featuring Yves Saint Laurent shoes

I think when I was 15 I swore I would never wear shorts again. Well, I've come around. I have really been wanting a pair of black shorts lately. A pair I could dress up or down. The perfect pair need to be not too long (I have short legs), not to high wasted, but just a little high wasted, and maybe a pleat or two. If they were silky or light weight cotton that would be ideal. The hunt has officially begun. These are just a couple of ways I would wear my future black shorts.

It's been a while

Hello readers. It has been about a month since I last posted. But there has been so much going on. As you may know The Vintage Ramble has been taking up most of my time, and dare I say, the new blog is on my mind most days. If you haven't seen it, here it is http://thevintageramble.blogspot.com/. Developing the blog and such, has been lots of fun, and there are some great things coming up on the blog and for The Vintage Ramble.

Work aside, I haven't been doing many sewing projects, but have been out in the garden quite a bit. I snapped these pictures a couple weeks ago, and already the gardens have changed. They are getting bigger and other flowers are starting to bloom. It's pretty great how a garden can do that. A constant evolution. Even from year to year, as the garden matures, it changes the face of the landscape drastically. I'll post some updated pictures throughout the summer. All I can say is that I am enjoying the gardens that we have planted (thanks mom!) My mom has been a great help, with her green thumb and advice.

I have some craft projects on the make, so will be posting some of those soon. Until then enjoy the heat!
