i find it slightly disconcerting that in an attempt to be early for a shindig at corndog and rootbeer's i appeared exactly on time. hmmmmmmm... maybe i should try to be early for everything?
this weekend there were a couple of notable craft/cooking experiences. there was a my attempt at chockylit's Lychee-Coconut Cupcakes with Ginger-Cream Cheese Frosting, Candied Ginger Sprinkles, and Sugar Decorations minus the sugar decorations. it was my first real experience piping frosting. the piping required more concentration that i thought it would. hahaha... next time i will try using a bigger tip.
i also finished up my postcards for the swap. i had an idea to do a sashiko postcard with navy blue felt. unfortunately what was in my head looked a lot better than what i ended up with so i ended up putting together a embossed number instead. not as creative but maybe i can get fancier next time.
so i took pictures but they are currently being held hostage in san francisco. so i guess i can't post. doh! hopefully i'll be able to rescue my camera sometime this week. =)

How did the cupcakes turn out? I'm waiting in eager anticipation. Did you use fresh coconut like the crazy woman in the link did?
i thought they were pretty tasty... sort of the consistency of carrot cake... dense and moist. and no i didn't use fresh! that's too much work!
Hi..
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for my postcard. It just got here.
Thanks
Priscilla
