Another iPhoto weekend

Expect to see this chair make an appearance in my work!

Hi there? How was the weekend?

We had another stellar Southern Illinois weekend. 

Beautiful weather, good food, fun times with friends and great live music. 

 Here is my weekend in pictures.

We capped Saturday night off with a martini garnished with Mexican style picked vegetables homemade by Matt. Yum!

 

Have a great week friends. Ta-Ta. 

P.S. Have you read yesterday's blog post? There's a DISCOUNT CODE! Woo!

Weekend iPhoneography

Hi! How was your weekend?

This was the first weekend in ages that we got to stay home and do some more Southern Illinois exploring. As always, I documented our weekend with my trusty iPhone.

On Friday, we tried out a Thai restaurant we'd never been to (yum!), heard some excellent live music at the Carbondale Friday Night Fair, and had a nightcap at Walker's Bluff (the new tasting room is awesome!)

We found this awesome looking caterpillar munching away on our tomato plant.  It's amazing how well camouflaged it was amongst the leaves!

We did a little walking in downtown Carbondale on Saturday.  Trains still run right through downtown. We got caught by this one for a time.

The weather this weekend was incredible! We took advantage of it and did some hiking in the state park. 

I tried out the new panorama feature that came along with the recent iPhone iOS 6 update. 

I'm just enamored with autumn light. It has such a distinct, crisp quality at this time of year.

Lastly, we cooked! (Man, my oven needs cleaning! Ick!) Matt made homemade biscuits complete with lard and bacon drippings. (Yum!) I tried out 2 Pinterest recipes. Crockpot Apple Pie Oatmeal for breakfast and turkey sausage, kale and bean soup for dinner. (Double yum!)

How was your weekend? Do share!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend friends!

It's going to be another hot one here, so I plan on spending lots of time in my basement studio "arting" it up. I've got a new idea swimming around in my head that I hope to make happen. Wish me luck!

What are you doing this weekend?
