– French bread that looks and tastes the part. Bonus: after a trip out to my great auntie's, some swanky new baguette pans with which to experiment. More bread adventures next week! – a fun new crochet project. I am probably going to run out of my pretty yarn before I am done. "Dye…

– actual labor. Well, sort of. I'm 42 weeks pregnant (hello, 10 and a half months!), so I'm in the process of being induced. So, I'm chillin' with some monitors and doing some crochet. Also watching, simutaneously, Wanted with James McAvoy and She's the Man with Amanda Bynes. Such a great combo! James McAvoy…
