My New Creation

I've wanted to add something new and different to my line for awhile, and I couldn't think of what. I made this bracelet for my cousin, and I think I might start a new product line of mixed media bracelets...

Let me know what you think!

South Beach Diet Triumph!

So I'm barely 4 days into phase one, and I had plans to take my friend Jill out to dinner. We went to one of my FAVORITE restaurants in Princeton.

The people with me ate/drank:

Wild Mushroom Bruchetta
Paella
Chocolate tart
Steak and potatoes
Apple tart
a pitcher of red wine sangria

I had:
Carpaccio ( 2 paper thin slices of organic beef with a salad on top)
Salmon with french green beans, cherry tomatoes red onion and olive (told them to hold the potatoes)
Iced tea, sparkling water.

This was soooooooo hard. The smell of wine, fresh bread and evoo, pasta, cheese & chocolate were almost too much to bear.
looking through the menu was torture.

I was rewarded this morning when I got on the scale. I lost 4 pounds!!

Final two… The Davids go head to head.

Anyone surprised? I’m not. I could see this from the very first elimination that David A and David C. were going to be in the final two. This latest development is going to make for an interesting show next week. At this point it’s anyone’s game. I’m personally rooting for David Cook. I think he’s an amazing talent. While David A. is just so squishy and adorable, I think he’s better suited for the Disney Channel. We shall see…

Dear Universe...

Please send something my way.

I keep posting on etsy, posting on craigslist, sending my resume, blogging & e-mailing people all in the effort to make money, and or find a job. All of this is falling upon deaf ears and blind eyes. Please send somthing back. It's been weeks of putting myself out there with no response...

Getting tired... feeling hopeless..

Kind Regards,

Niki

4 Words: Cupcake in a Jar

Formerly Fatdaddy bake shop, now Bangerang bakeshop is quickly becoming a very popular shop on etsy.com. With almost 4000 sales since July 2007 Bangerang Bakeshop is truly an etsy success story.

The shop is empty now, however she restocks every Tuesday! Get there early these yummy cakes sell out quick!

New Project

We just bought a new front door. The problem is out old front door was SO old, that they don't make that size anymore. My DH had to fill it in with some wood, and we're going to put decorative molding on it. My hallway has a "under the sea" theme, and I'm working on the molding to match the theme.

Here is what I have so far...

New Items

I had quite the productive weekend! Not only did I clean my house, paint the trim in my hall, and work in the garden, I created some cool rings for my etsy shop!

I'm so excited to finally get my shop off the ground. I need some tweaking here and there, but I think I'm off to a good start!
