paint chip challenge

It's usually cold in the office and I usually don't drink coffee but today I needed a cup to keep warm. Our Modern Quilt Guild is doing a paint chip challenge. We selected an envelope with random paint chip samples, I got these colors, a darker brown below you can't see and the whitish color is faint greenish/aqua color. They are color inspiration for a project we need to have done for the next meeting.

Spot gold? hehe! My color for 2013 it is meant to be :)

mexican snack

My dad sent some seasoning, Tajin, with my sisters and I was enjoying some yesterday, outside since the weather is finally staying warm. Cucumbers and Jicama, the seasoning is not spicy even though it looks like it is, it's lemony and salty...yummy!

Jicama y pepinos

gold, my color for 2013

I've been absent lately not sure what to post and when I do have something interesting I have forgotten to take pictures...figures. Lately I have noticed that orange is the color for this year but I'm going to be different and make mine gold! I got my nails done and I really like it. I'm more of a silver person, er so I thought. I've got some pieces I will be adding to my wardrobe and add a little to each future post, see if you can spy gold...

ohhhhhh....sparkly!

signs of spring

Signs of Spring are in my garden in the form of wonderful herbs that came back from last year. Always a good thing because I don't have to buy them again, hehe he!

Rosemary, golden thyme and oregano...and some weeds but I already pulled most of them out.

Cilantro! Yummy

There is also mint coming out that smells really good when you step on it and makes really good tea.

Happy Spring!

shrimp on three kings day...?

Did you guys have rosca (king cake) Sunday for Epiphany, (Dia de Los Reyes Magos)? 

We did, along with chocolate and shrimp...yup shrimp. It wasn't planned. Rog didn't want any cake and decided to have shrimp then the rest of us ate some too. It looks like I made the cake because it's on a cookie sheet but just to get it straight I bought it at the store, it just broke while I was taking it home and I was trying to keep it together.

  

I can't really say who got the baby, Ram saw it sticking out and Rem got the piece that had it but he gave it to Ram because he didn't want to make the tamales on the 2nd of February  for El Dia de la Candelaria (Candlemas). So, L ended up with the baby, but I will still have to make tamales or actually Rog and I will make them because he helps...ya good hubby!
