Craft Extravaganza

So, yesterday I planted my seeds for the spring. Last year I did it in March and I felt my plants were a little later-blooming than I would have liked, so I started earlier this year. I'm also hopeful that all this activity will alleviate my depression of late. Planting seeds means spring is coming.
Here are 3 of the many trays of seeds currently taking over our mudroom (Sorry Thomas!)



As I mentioned previously, I rely heavily on crafts to get me through the winter season. So Friday, Jennifer and I did a practice run for this month's stitch and bitch: Mod Podge. Also, Jenn is a great beader, so we made bracelets, which made me very happy.



This is Jennifer's mod podge cigar box


and my (slightly blurry) mod podge box top

Finally, Thomas and I decided to stay in for V-day this week and I'm going to cook us something shmancy. Please help me choose between these two (low-carb!) desserts:
Dessert A: Strawberry Shortcake

Dessert B: Flourless Chocolate Hazelnut Torte

I vote for the flourless chocolate thing. Yum.

i'd go with the flourless chocolate cake too, if only because strawberry shortcake is so strawberry-dependent that it really deserves a season when there are fresh local strawberries or something.

also, recipe? *looks cute*

Hazelnut torte. It seems a lot fancier.

I'm going for the strawberry shortcake, but if it's hard to get the berries, then go for the chocolate.

Your Mod Podge projects look fantastic!

see i was thinking strawberry- the tort seems too dense, possibly winter like where as the strawberry thing seems light and effortless like fallen snow and possilby sugar kisses.
