Here's a look at the apartment now that we have added a few pieces. It's getting pretty cozy.
I've made myself a little office in the corner of the living room. Last week I framed and hung these three prints by my friend Jovencio. Also, I have a new chair, $10 on craig's list.
I had been looking for a long shelving piece to go behind the couch for some storage, and I finally found just the thing! I'm going to buy some feet from Ikea to get it up off the floor.
The medicine cabinet in our bathroom is unusually set opposite the mirror. Right after we moved in I wanted to paper the inside. So here it is now, adding some cheer.
Martha Stewart has a line of paper crafts at Michael's craft stores, which is where I found this cute orangey print. And there's one of my favorite objects: the little jar that holds my bobby pins. :)
And now, this week in foods...
Homemade rolls and the lavender raspberry jam
More of Nathan's delicious cookies. This time, oatmeal chocolate chip. I'm not going to tell him to stop.
Zucchini Fritters!
We have been catching quite a lot of Olympic coverage. For some reason I have been much more emotional about the games than in any years past. Normally I would not care about sports on tv at all, but this is such a different experience. I realized this when I found myself watching sand volleyball and fencing. It is exciting as an Iowan to see Shawn Johnson doing so well--I didn't even know we had a gym. And Michael Phelps is, as always, a phenomenon. Watching the swimmers makes me miss cheering at Tay's meets.
Perhaps more later. I hope you are having a great week!

Thanks for the update on the apartment - it's really coming along nicely. :) I really like the prints in your "office," and that sofa table/storage is perfect!
Was the homemade roll recipe from the Attica cookbook? Those look delicious!!! And how was the jam? You two seem to be eating quite well!
Glad to see you're making the place your own!
The Olympics are rather exciting this year. It's funny that for two weeks every four years, swimming and gymnastics are the most popular sports in the world.
cheerio!
i'm on my way for some of those raspberry lavender pastries.... pull out the sofa for me. wish i were able to just stop by for tea. i'm glad you're settling in. take good care!
