A fascinating true story, Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez, KB recommends.

I enjoyed this book by Deborah Rodriguez. She is a woman who took a chance on a trip to Afghanistan and it ended up changing her life and many others. It is important for women to understand how women are treated in other countries around the world.  This story tells about life for women in war torn Afghanistan.  It is an amazing story about courage and kindness.

Happy Father's Day, enjoy special cake for Dad

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there.  I really appreciate my Dad.  And it makes me happy that my girls think that their Dad is special too! My youngest girl had this vision, a special cake for her father.  I think she pulled it off very well with very little help from me, the more experienced baker.  And yum!  It was a taste treat.  Vanilla cake with lemony, cream cheese frosting and strawberries.  She use a little tube of red gel to customize it. Voila!

I found vintage elegant ladies on patterns from Decades of Style at the Maker Faire, KB inspired!

My favorite part of the SF Bay Area Maker Faire was the Craft building.  Here is a picture of the wrap jacket pattern I picked up.  The patternmaker interprets vintage styles and makes the fit modern.  I enjoyed browsing through their rack of samples.  I got so excited when I saw this lovely jacket.  I plan to try it in silk dupioni.  If you want to find out more about Decades of Style
