happy new year!

for new years 2013, i got to hang out with grace again!  we partied last new year's, when i made that cute teal vintage silk party dress.  i desperately wanted to make a dress for this year, but school got in the way.  so, i made red velvet cupcakes for grace's party and michelle did the frosting.  (my newest baking strategy is to do the baking and to commission a friend to do the decorating... because let's be honest, most people prefer to decorate baked goods, and we all know i can't decorate!)  good teamwork, no?

the sprinkles were a festive mix from barb, jimmy's gf!  here's grace and i in our requisite yearly new years pic:

my hair is getting long!  yay!  and here's michelle and i playing with sparklers off of grace's balcony.  we're a little blurry... grace took many pics and they're all a little blurry!

happy 2013!!
