today I made zucchini muffins -- they're baking now so we'll see how they turn out. it's my first time making them, but the recipe is from the same book as the cake above, so I'm sure they will be delightful.
and now I'm off to be a bit crafty. :) hope you're all enjoying your spring! (or, autumn for our readers from down-under. ;))
xo!

*edit*
the zucchini muffins are DELISH! but they don't look all that pretty. note to self for next time: use liners and don't fill the cup so full! :)
