Dinner party at my apartment!

So I threw a little dinner party for my mom, dad, and grandmother to break in the new apartment, so to speak. I slaved all day (imagine the heat of 80degree weather, a shower, an oven, AND boiling water in my little apartment, Ahhhh!) cooking and cleaning just like a cute little housewife (except my boyfriend doesn't eat food I like, or trust my cooking, so he opted out, haha.) Anyway, here are a few pics! First can we just admire my plate set in that first pic? Pink and green PLAID. How much? $3 for all of it (plus the serving tray and a set of knives). Yard sale. HOLLA! Ahem, moving on.

These are Garlic Chedder Biscuits courtesy of the amazing Joyful Abode blog. They are really easy to make and delicious (though I recommend adding an entire bag of cheese rather than half, don't skimp!) and serving them warm, if possible.
I've got loads more pics up at my Livejournal Blog so head over there to see them!

SQUEE.

I'm "squeeing" right now, which is something I NEVER do (sooooo not a fangirl. Of anything except ... maybe LOTR.) But you know what? It is perfectly appropriate, because!
* I JUST finished my LAST exam. Which means I'm no longer a freshman in college! Which means I no longer have to attend this college! Which means no more super-hard long distance relationships and classes about things that make me feel bad for being white/rich!
* I decided to watch Dick in a Box again after reading a blog called Lunch in a Box because
* All summer I'm going to be making Bento lunches for myself! Which basically just means the Japanese word for Lunch, but a zillion times cuter than everyone else's lunches. I got myself an adorable Pink Polka Dotted Bento Box and a ton of awesome bento accessories to go with it. It's portion control, too, so I can lose the obnoxious Freshman 5-15lbs I gained when I was forced to eat College Food (my idea of dessert: strawberries. College's idea: carrot cake fried in oil.) and all of my little Jewish campers at Jewcamp will be totally jealous all summer long.
* I bought a new camera! Because you may have noticed, mine SUCKS. It's 3.2 MPX. Suck! But my new one is shiny and blue and 8.1 mpx! Soooo that means I can take lots of shiny new pictures of all the inventory from my last craft fair!
*Except not all of it, because my next craft fair is on May 20. I'll be sharing my booth with Kayraffla from Etsy! She goes to my college next year.
* I might get an apartment this summer! My dad said he found some sweet apartments for like $300 a month to rent over the summer ...4 minutes away from my boyfriends house! Sweeeet, dude, can anyone say STUDIO SPACE? I'm telling some of my friends who are home for the summer too. It'll be the coolest building ever if we all get apartments there.
Anyway, that's the update from my life. I'm moving but I swear there will be some AWESOME new camera updates next week. In the meantime, check out Omg! Lia? Dot Com cuz ya know, it's working, and stuff.

Shopping Domestic

I am such a little mini housewife. Here I am, 18, feminist, hairy legs, pink hair, and all I want is a cute little kitchen and a crafting room. And some toddlers. And a business. And my boyfriend ... *sighs* Anyway, that's not happening anytime soon.

Well this summer, I'm going home (kitchen! crafting ... area!) and I'm going to be a camp counselor (toddlers!) and I get to see my boyfriend (yay! although he won't eat a thing I cook for him.) So I now have all sorts of consumeristic desires. Here's what I'm scoping out to buy on Etsy!


A pincushion! I do sew, and I'm not the best at it, but I'm currently keeping my sewing supplies in a dented recycled plastic container. Lame. Check out this gorgeous orange and pink retro style pincushion from http://SunshineDesignsEtc.etsy.com. Or this pink and black one that is stuffed with emery to keeps pins sharp from http://dottyral.etsy.com.
Or this cute pink retro-style pincushion that says LOVE in the middle from http://tsunamibeads.etsy.com!
Squee! They're all so gorgeous, I don't know which one I'll get yet!
I also want an apron! Over holiday break I took a Wilton Class for cake decorating and I was wearing a strawberry print apron from when I was 6. It barely even covered my boobs. There are tons of cute aprons on Etsy!
Here's what I found. http://Boojiboo.etsy.com makes gorgeous aprons that look like dresses! (I would totally wear these as dresses, wouldn't you?) http://sassyapron.etsy.com has a ton of SUPER cute pin-up style aprons, like this red and white polka dotted one!
Oooh I can't wait to get shopping!
