officially july

i regret that i haven't been posting much this summer. i suppose i could blame it on a number of things - ranging from the flooding in iowa city to my overall lack of creativity lately. most spare time is spent thinking about packing, but not actually doing any work. this past weekend was full of fun 4th of july activities including:

kabobs


vodka tonics


sidewalk chalk



henna tattoo


i haven't been printing much and have replaced any art making with baking. over the last month i've experimented with the following recipes:

1. chocolate chip pecan pie (not too exciting, but my first time making a pie completely from scratch. )
2. andes mint chocolate chip cupcakes
3. avocado lime cookies with coconut garnish
4. lemon poppy seed tea cookies
5. chocolate pumpkin cake

unfortunately i've been a poor photographer lately and do not have any pictures to share. baking projects for this week include:

1. cripsy salted oatmeal white chocolate cookies
and
2. brownie roll-out cookies

i'll make sure to post pictures of both of these.
