Chocolate peanut butter ice cream with purple sprinkles. Mmmm, just one of the things I love about summer.

Testing Out the Quilting Waters
A friend of mine is having a baby girl soon. I wasn't quite sure what to get her. She told me the exciting news when she was only a few weeks along, so I've gotten to see the baby "grow" almost every day. Buying a gift off the baby registry just didn't seem sufficient in this case, so I decided to do something I've never done before...make a quilt...and because of scheduling, I had less then a week to get it finished enough to give to her at her shower! Fortunately, I loved making it. I'm still working on some of the embroidery details, but that's okay, I have a little over a month until the baby arrives.
Adventures in San Diego
Girls Trip! Mom, Ann, and I took a quick trip out to San Diego. We had a great time! I can't wait to go back there. Such a friendly area. And I could get used to that weather :)

LOBSTER ROLLS!
The Lobster Pound has started making Lobster Rolls at the Brooklyn Flea on Sundays under the Brooklyn Bridge. With my love for anything lobster, I needed to have one right away, especially since it's something I've never had before. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one who loves lobster and when I went the line was so long it was going to take 2 hours and they thought they would be sold out by then anyway. This was 3 weeks ago, so needless to say my first Sunday back in Brooklyn I was going to get there exactly at 11 (like a drill sergeant making sure we weren't meandering too long) and sure enough there was no line!! What can be better than lobster for breakfast?! They have 2 kinds of rolls, one is the traditional roll with Mayo and the other is a 'CT lobster roll' made with butter. Both were delicious and well worth the wait.
Their booth is the one straight back with the white awning. My last attempt the line stretched all the way to where I took this picture from and looped around 3 times!
At last....:)
Then we had to go for a walk on the promenade to burn the calories off. The perfect Sunday.

Take it to the cleaners! The tree in this window is made out of those metal hangers that you get from the Dry Cleaners. It's advertising a collection made out of old YSL fabrics.

SOLAR POWER
Self-proclaimed 'First Solar Powered Restaurant & Market' Habana Outpost. The first time I walked by this restaurant I knew it was my kind of place. Bright colors, earth friendly, margaritas and great food! Unfortunately the weekends I have been here in Brooklyn there has been a lot of rain - but lucky for me, this weekend is picture perfect!! Just a short walk to Fort Greene to this little oasis and it was everything I had hoped for. There are huge solar panels that power the restaurant and even a blender powered by a bike - it's a dollar cheaper if you pedal for your own drink!! If you're in the area check it out but get there early for a table outside (the corn is delicious).
