A fun wedding shower gift!
1. Take a gift card (that you bought because everything else that was on the registry was only available online) and put it in a cute shower card! Set that aside.

A Grand Day
Yesterday my friend Jac and had a lovely day! We shopped for fabric at TWO fabric stores ( a 10 for me), we went for a wine tasting, and went to Nunu's Bistro in Colchester, CT. I had the best pasta of my life: Pasta Alla Ruby! It was made with cheese, beats and light cream. It's also my next creation! So delicious!
Over and out!
Over and out!

Rosin
Since I've been radio silent for about a month, I wanted to give you an update about what's keeping me so busy! Besides May being concert season (I finished my last concert tonight) and many people I know having children or getting married, preparing for grad school and/or working on our van (more information soon!), Mr. Pie Plate and I have been on a Rosin endeavor:
A good deal of people have not grown up in a house where stringed instruments are the norm. My husband and I are not among those people! I started playing the violin when I was three and my husband took up the cello in third grade. I no longer consider myself a violinist, but I will always be a string player at heart!
This brings us to rosin. Rosin is the sticky stuff that goes on the bow hairs to create friction between the string and the bow, resulting in sound! Hooray for sound! But, rosin usually is boring and looks like this:
While it works, not that exciting to look at. Here is where Mr. Pie Plate and I come into play! Around the beginning of this year my husband started to think that we could make our own, really awesome rosin. I was doubtful as I usually am, and was unsure of the outcome. It turns out, I should have listened right away because the outcome is awesome!
Here is one example of Rockin' Rosin:
It's creative, fun and it will encourage students to practice! And don't you worry, we have less scary shapes too! Check out our website! AND, even though the shapes are so pretty, they are not edible!
Over and out!
