on being domestic

probably a nesting thing going on.... but been feeling a little um, creative lately? while my mom was here we pulled out my sewing machine that my mother in law gave me for christmas and got it all figured out. we made this little table cover. definitely not perfect! we didn't have a pattern, we just kinda made it up, but i think it turned out pretty cute!
now during this whole pregnancy i have not been craving anything sweet or fatty, but now that i can't have sweets i want them all the time! i figure its okay if i have to spend a lot of time making it and then sharing and giving away most of it, right? i have been craving strawberries lately and what better goes with strawberries than angel food cake and whipped cream? i'm usually not an angel food cake fan, but when its homemade- oh baby! soooo good!
and since angel food cake takes so many egg whites, i needed something that used all the egg yolks....... creme brulee! it really wan't too difficult to make. (trust me, if i can make it without any supervision, mishaps, or injuries it really can't be too hard!) we ate it all before i could get a picture of it,
but it looked a lot better when it was in my new little dishes! they were only $1 each, and i really love them. i wish i had gotten more of them i think.

so while my sister laughs at my attempts, i know she liked the creme brulee, and i know joe is enjoying the home-made yummies. i'm having fun, because i refuse to go outside when its snowing.... like today. i need something to do, right?

I love it! It is so cute! Good job. I would think strawberries and angel food cake would be perfect for you food issues. It all sounds yummy.

speaking of domestic. how do you do that photo collage thingy at the top 'o your page? i am a level 1 blogger and have a feeling that knowing how to do that might take me to the next step.
