Peeps Show 2012

Easter season is upon us again. Of course, this means the Washington Post’s annual peeps diorama contest is here too! These are a few of my favorites. Check out the rest of the entries here: Washington Post Peeps Show or see my post on last year’s contest: Peeps Show 2011.

Extreme Sized Things

As I’ve stated many times before, I’m simply enamored with things that are miniature and those that are oversized. Lately, three artists have caught my eye who deal with extreme proportions. The first is Carrie M. Becker, who created a Hoarders inspired, Barbie-sized mess. She created amazingly detailed, doll-sized rooms filled to the brim with [...]

Organized Lunch

At the beginning of each year I find myself in an anxiety-filled frenzy of organization. Clay and I emptied and scrubbed down our refrigerator, making our food the first thing to keep organized this year. I wanted to maintain that organization with me during lunch at work, so I searched for some bento box lunch [...]

Fortune Cookie Coin Purse

Just a few of my favorite things combined into one adorable accessory: Diana Eng’s whimsical design, Asian inspired fashion, and things that look like food, but aren’t. I love these coin purses by the Project Runawy alum. They are made from recycled leather and each one is unique. They also include a printed fortune inside. [...]

As shows like Ace of Cakes prove, modern cake decorators are artists and sculptors; their media just happen to be butter cream and fondant. I saw this cake as I was browsing one of my favorite cake blogs [...]

Peeps Show

I love me some Easter. One of my favorite things is the Washington Post’s annual Peeps diorama contest. Not only do I love the soft, sugary taste of Peeps, I especially love miniatures and dioramas. I’m always amazed at the creative and fun scenes people come up with. While none this year were quite as [...]

Feeling Healthy

Due to an overly crazy workload and other obligations, I slowed down quite a bit on my 26 before 26 list. This one I’m pretty happy to cross off: #21: Lose 15 pounds. For quite a while, I’ve been feeling tired, sluggish, and all-around icky. I was drinking several diet sodas in a day and [...]

Top Chef All Stars

For the finale of this season’s Top Chef, they are having five chefs competing for the title. The lineup for this “all star” season was pretty impressive, but most of my all-time favorites were left missing. If I were to pick the five best chefs who didn’t win, from all the seasons, the group would [...]
