Bow to the Gherkin
Check out these cupcakes that Miss Gherkin made for knitting last night. How awesome is she? I lent her my fav cupcake cookbook of all time and she made the vegan vanilla cupcake recipe along with vegan chocolate buttercream frosting and then decorated with the most awesome marzipan evah. I mean EVAH! More details at her blog.
Knitting content soon. I promise!

Contest Time
We've been busy over here at Chez Wannabe enjoying the summer and all that it entails. Well....okay, maybe not enjoying the 110 degree heat, but nonetheless doing what we can to beat it and stay cool. This has involved countless hours in the pool, playing games inside (hello, 110!) and quite a bit of baking. I was inspired by A Friend To Knit With and her "Cookie of the Week" project she did with her kids...so the Buggernut and I have been doing some baking every week. Not necessarily cookies every week, but something baked. I plan on doing this all summer long. :)So, I think a contest is long overdue, don't you? I'm going to have 2 prizes. One for a knitter and one for a non-knitter. First, let me indulge you with some cuteness.
The 'Nut and I baked for a Rescue bake sale. We made Snickerdoodles and used boxes a la Martha to package them beautifully. And of course, had to make a few dozen more to share with neighbors and fill our tummies. :)
This past week we made Sara's Strawberry Muffin recipe. These were OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing. Again, cupcake liners a la Martha. Notice the color choice. Ehem.
So here's the scoop. My little helper went thru a big change this week. If you've read the blog for a while you know that I post lots of pics of her. If you can correctly guess the change, you will be entered into a drawing for one of 2 yummy prizes. There is a big hint in one of the pictures of her.
Prize #1 will be for knitters: A custom "Wannabe" skein of sock yarn from the very talented The Plucky Knitter.
Prize #2 for the non-knitters: A pair of pretty earrings from Puffluna...my current Etsy addiction.
You have until Tuesday, July 3 to leave me a comment to be entered into the drawing. Happy Guessing!

I'm addddddddicted....adddicted....so adddddicted...
to Dove. Seriously. Addicted. I must have eaten an entire bag this past week. You know those heart shaped numbers in the cutesy foil wrappers with a little fortune on the inside. I only like the dark chocolate ones though. I figure dark chocolate is high in antioxidants...so when I'm stuffing my face like a kid on Christmas, all I think is well, blueberries have antioxidants too, right? And so does green tea which is healthy...so a bag of chocolate must be too...plus it tastes better. Mmmmmmm......So peeps. If you want to show me some love....it doesn't take diamonds...it takes Dove.
What's your latest adddddiction?
