Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for excessive spring rains... even though it's killing my roses! My peonies, on the other hand, are doing quite well, along with the lavender and lilies. I onlylost a couple of plants over the winter, so I'm grateful for that as well!

I am thankful for the Olive Garden's new awesome dessert!!!! You have to go try it. It's called "Zeppoli" and is a plate full of chewy sweet fried dough covered in emulsified vanilla sugar, served with warm chocolate on the side for dipping. I know this sounds like a powdered doughnut, but it's not at all! I'm telling you, if I'm ever on death row, this is what I will request for my last dessert..... hmm do you even get a dessert option, or is it just a last "meal"? Technically dessert is part of a meal, right? Hopefully this will never be an issue.

I am thankful for sewing and new sewing machines. Here's a little purse I made for one of our YW who is going to the LDS prom. It was a lot of fun to make, especially the flower detail on the side!

I am thankful for creative friends who graciously share their ideas and time with others. I made this fun cake in Chicago over Easter break and it was a hit thanks to my BFF Emily S. You know, between her, Jackie L., Chelsea H., Stacey H. etc, etc., not to mention my excellent blogging friends, I am sure to become the Korean Martha!!!
