Crazy House On Dwight Street in Boston

Posted on | March 31, 2009 | 5 Comments

I’ve taken a lot of photos of beautiful front doors in Boston. This front door is just down right bizarre. The house located on Dwight Street in the South End stops you in your tracks as you walk by. Feels a bit Spanish like something you would see in Barcelona, but not. Does anyone know anything about the history of this crazy place?

p.s. thanks elisabeth for showing me around the south end!

Cathedral Quilts

Posted on | March 31, 2009 | 8 Comments

Over the weekend I somehow came across a flickr group called, Cathedral Window Quilts. The panes of color showcase vintage fabrics that make drool with delight. As I read though the comments I began to get discouraged. Many of these quilts took years to make. How hard could it be? I tend to find projects that are bit to complex for my skill level. Check out a tutorial I found online showing you how to make Cathedral windows. For my first quilt I should probably choose something easier?

Baking Binge: Buttermilk Biscuits

Posted on | March 31, 2009 | 6 Comments

I’ve been on a cooking and baking binge the last few days. Above my buttermilk biscuits I made last night to go with some leftover chicken soup. For the whole month of March I hardly made any sweets and tried to limit my naughty food intake. I thought I would have lost at least a few pounds. Yeah nothing. So my new plan? Bake and cook whatever I want (which honestly is not bad at all) and work out 5 days a week. Not baking and cooking fun new recipes made my life so boring. Next up? I am dying to make the Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie I spotted in the new issue of Bon Appetit.
