Simple Syrup

Ask me anything   Submit   I am an Alabama native, living in Atlanta, who tries real hard not to say "Blawg", ya'll. I am a Graphic Designer turned Nutrition student who hopes to have a Master's degree by May 2012, and be a Registered Dietitian soon after. I have found that my new life is more fulfilling and as creative as my old one. I don't miss it one bit. I have been a vegetarian since I was 8. I am a messy eater and messier cook, but was once told that means I'm having more fun. I like to futz with recipes, sew, knit, cook, take purdy pictures, ect.


It’s NOT a Turban!

Long time no see!

I’m not quite sure where I am going to wear this adorable head band, but it is DEFINITELY NOT an urban turban.

From Vogue Knitting Winter 2011/12

I did mine in pastels, but the original fiery red is cute too.

Keep ya ears warm!

I can’t believe I’ve come this far in life without ever playing with polymer clay. This might replace my knitting addiction.

In memory of my sweet Papa who passed away this morning. I know he’s robbing honey bees in heaven.

I’m innately against genetically modified foods, but when one can produce such a work of crunchy, sweet, and tart beauty — I say bring on the X-man gills.
