the Colors of my Kitchen

I was looking around the other day and noticed something.
I have completley and unintentionally developed a colourful kitchen.
take a look!

I love these bowls! I just recently got them, but look forward to
using them for some food photography in the future.


I think I actually have the Bell Pepper Yellow, but this is by far the best tool in my kitchen.
I'd be lost without it!


we picked these up while on vacation in qubec at Ikea for little man. we also got the matching bowls, plates and cups!


PC green cutting board.
it's a bit brighter green than this one, and more square but it gives you the general idea of it.
I picked it up at superstore at the end of the summer, and I dont' think it's available anymore sadly.

and to top it off, my walls are a nice shade of blue "bentley blue" I believe it was called.
I've grown to love my kitchen, it's my favourite room in the house, and I finally feel like it's complete!


What's your favourite part of your kitchen?

Chocolate Gingerbread Men

I did it!
I cracked my Martha Stewart "Cookies" book!


I made some of the cookies that are featured on the front of the book.
I had bought some christmas cookie cutters, and made them into gingerbread men.
there was some issues, I thought a few of them had lost an arm, some i thought were going to lose a leg.
but in the end, all limbs were attached and the reviews were good!



Have you baked any cookies from this book?
if you have, let me know which one's youve tried!

...Back at the Ranch...

*chirp*chirp*

yup. those are crickets that you hear!
Not much has been going on here at the Farm lately. Just getting ready for the holidays...


we've switched computers again (apple, will you ever enter my life again?)
so I lost photoshop and haven't been able to get it back.

I've started using Picasa, which is working out okay so far. it's nice and quick, and it's simple.
just what we need for quick blog photos and family photos. and best of all?
it's FREE!

I'll have more posts coming up soon, not much creative going on here lately. once the holidays are over we'll be getting back into routine!
