I’ve been thinking all day about what I’d write tonight.
Should I write about the peacock I saw this weekend? Should I tell you about how I was afraid of the peacock until I remembered that it is ostriches that are sometimes mean and not peacocks? Yea… I’m smart. Ostriches spit right? No wait… that’s llamas.
Get me to a petting zoo. Someone. Please.
I’m afraid I don’t have any cookies to tell you about, or brownies to share. I haven’t made soup, or scones, and I still have that Chicken Pot Pie in the fridge.
I’ve been busy busypants. There are shoes all over my apartment. Everywhere. I think my cat might start eating them.
Instead of compiling a list of muffins I’ve already made, I just thought I’d be honest with you.
I’m working on a new project for you. New project!!!!
My brain is everywhere. My body is everywhere too… with my brain… but totally not with my brain. I’m bonkers… that’s what I’m trying to tell you.
I’m working on this project with other people you might know from the Internet. Tracy welcomed me into her home and let me shove a camera in her face. She didn’t pretend to like it. I didn’t really expect her to.
Whitney posed for pictures. She’s a total natural. Profesh.
Greg, Andy, and Nathan are super great to work with. They feed me dinner and make me laugh.
I went all the way to Austin to work with Tsh. Austin is full of cool people waiting to do cool things. Makes sense.
Tsh is the most lovely of women. She’s got the sparkle, and an amazing family.
All of this traveling…
and working…
has really worked a number on my sweet tooth. I made this Easter candy centerpiece a few weeks back.
What on earth was I thinking!? The kitten attacked the Peeps and I ate the rest of the candy. I did. I stress ate it all. There may still be Peeps under my bed from kitten play. I’m afraid to check.
In other news… got this foxyfox pin from a boy. Maybe I’m obsessed. No biggie.
Thanks for letting me be honest. Well… halfway honest. I still haven’t told you what I’m working on, have I? Soon soon soon! I’m comin’ at ya!

Yeah…peacocks are creepy. The people across the street kept some and they make horrible sounds-like a woman screaming in terror. Your first instinct was right. Pretty, but creepy.
Angela
JOY. For reals, that fox pin is superneato! I had one like it I found at a thrift, and accidently washed it. Ahhh! I’m devasted. Where did you get it it??? Where do I get another one??? Why don’t I separate lights and darks, and why is there AWAYS bobby pins in the dryer! HELP.

My Dad grew up near the Cincinnati Zoo and told stories about being chased by the peacocks that are allowed to roam the zoo’s grounds. Apparently, they are really scary. I can’t bring myself to be any where near them when we go to the zoo because of his stories. Maybe it’s just that the peacocks in Cinci have to be mean? Growing up in a not so nice neighborhood?

Hi Joy
I found your blog a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it thoroughly ever since!! I haven’t made anything yet, but everything looks so delicious I’m going to have to soon! Also, I’m really excited about your new project, even though I don’t even know what it is! :)
Sarah-Anne

jennie
can’t wait to find out what you’re working on! tsh is so inspiring, she makes me want to clean my house from top to bottom…and that’s a great thing.
Amanda
I think I recognize those peacocks… did you see them at Mayfield Park in Austin? I live in ATX and go to UT. It’s a wonderful city!
joythebaker

Amanda
I love that place! Sometimes this senior-citizen art club goes there to paint the flowers. They’re pretty presh. Cute old people and pretty birds? I’m sold.
