I seem to have some photos to share, so I’ll devote my 7QT to that this week!

Our house offer was accepted and on Monday of this week we had our inspection. (no major issues – whew!) I won’t post all the photos I took of the house, because well, I’m obsessed. But here’s a few.

Ok, I’m done now.

Craft Hope: Red Scarf Project, completed. I crocheted two red scarfs for this project with provides handmade scarves for college-bound kids coming out of the foster care system.

Yesterday I was downtown and went to my favorite shop in Indianapolis, Global Gifts. Global Gifts is a store run as a non-profit (with a board of directors instead of an owner). Everything they sell is fair-trade and most of the things come from developing countries. They sell a wide variety of things, jewelery, home decorations, dishes, scarves, bags, soaps, coffees, chocolate, children’s clothing and toys. It’s awesome! I bought a lot of Christmas gifts there, and I love it because most of the items include a story about where they come from and the people who made them.

Yesterday I found something wonderful; they are called “bohemian headwraps” and they look like a hybrid of a scarf and a headband. I saw them and thought they’d be great for our trip to Rome in May. We’ll be going in and out of a lot of Churches (not to mention the Vatican) and it would be a lot easier to already have a head-band type thing on my head when we get going, rather than fussing with the mantilla.

I bought one in black:

and one in a pretty colorful stripe:

I had to laugh when I read the tag on them. It says:

“Make yourself gypsy-bohemian, artsy-sexy, poetically interesting, rock-star glorious or whatever – it’s all up to you. Crafted by individuals in Guatemala.”

I’m pretty sure the makers of these “gypsy-bohemian, artsy-sexy” headwraps were not imaging them being used for “modesty in church”. I take this as a small victory! 🙂

Thanks global gifts!

I got the job at the Library! I’ll be working as an assistant at the Irvington branch of the public library. I get to start as soon as I pass my drug test. No, seriously. The bar is set high.

Sorry, I have no photo.

Ladies, what are you doing for Valentine’s Day on Sunday? Atticus and I are going to make a recipe found in a cookbook we received as a wedding gift. It’s called “Intercourses”. I know, right? Well, it’s actually pretty cool. It’s full of recipes made with foods that are thought to be aphrodisiacs. 😉

Some of the photos are a bit risque (which I’m sure means 95% of people who aren’t us would think they’re tame), but the food is so good. so good.

We are making Crab Quesadillas with Ripe Mango Salsa for dinner

and a Chocolate Torte Dressed in Berries for dessert. Making dinner at home somehow seems a lot more romantic than going out to a restaurant with fifty other couples.

Also, I decided on a joint gift for Atticus and I. His is here and hers is here. No peeking honey!

Finally, if I had to choose a funny photo to describe myself, this would be it:

Have a great weekend!
