That's right, I'm officially a Culinary Arts student!

I just haven't started any of my fun culinary classes yet. Boo!!!! I have, however, started my math class and communications class, both of which I'm enjoying so far. My date to start culinary classes is October 19th. I didn't realize this (and it really would have been nice to know, but my bad!) until I had already scrambled around like a chicken with her head cut off to acquire the items they so graciously gave a week's notice about (at least, at the time I thought I only had a week). Black chefs pants - ordered and delivered, SO NOT ATTRACTIVE! Black skull caps (when I picture a skull cap, I think of a knitted hat, good thing they re-emailed and clarified before the knitting frenzy began) - black fabric purchased and 1 hat sort of made (I just winged it, it'll do), again NOT ATTRACTIVE! White aprons - white denim purchased and 1 3/4 full bib aprons finished before they again re-emailed to specify that half aprons were preferred (;alsdkjf;lajksfasd;lkfjasf;lkjfasdj;lk ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!), oh well, I'll try just folding them in half, I still have more fabric anyway, these are actually pretty cute (even if they are plain). Professional set of chef's knives - nothing completed there yet, but at least now I have longer than 1WEEK to save for these!
I have no pictures of my wildly unattractive uniform as of yet, it's been a busy week, even if I'm only attending 2 classes. Did I mention my husband is back in school as well?
I'm hoping to have a few more posts soon, here's what I'm working on: A fug blue and orange apron for a bridal shower (they're her favorite colors, go Boise State, but to me. . .it's still fug!). A remedied recipe for chocolate marshmallow fondant, because I botched the last batch I made. A zombie cake for the previously mentioned bridal shower, she and her FI love zombies, so her theme is "'Til Death Do They Part. . .Maybe?" I'm still working on the design of the cake, but I've got some ideas.

New Puker Rags. . .I mean Burp Cloth designs!

Yay, new burp cloths! Or puker rags, as I called them when my son was little. Oh man, did I use a lot of puker rags!!!

I love the girly fabric! I bought it awhile ago with the idea of making my mom tote bags for her birthday. . .but I don't know why I bought this fabric for my mom! I think I was secretly just wanting to buy it, it's really not my mom's style - like, AT ALL! Anyway, my friend's (Andrea, the one I did the wedding cake for) friend, Tessa called me and wanted to buy some burp cloths for a baby shower she was going to, she gave me the expectant mama's registry information, in case I had a better idea for a style, other than what I had listed on Etsy. It turns out I had the perfect fabric! These are the result of that.



















The next burp cloths were picked out by my dearest friend, Jenn, who has a friend expecting a little boy. Even though I have a little boy, I'm drawn to girly, frilly, pinky things. There's something wrong with me. Anyway, here's the end product, super cute as well!
