Birthday Empanadas




My mother is known for her amazing talents in the kitchen. So I stole this recipe for Paraguayan Empanadas to make for my husband on his b-day. They are soooooo delicious but take a lot of time to make since I made the dough from scratch. This is a once a year deal, just like his birthday. I only make them for the 2 of us. Sorry no sharing here.....

Death by Chocolate Monster Cupcake

My husbands birthday was this weekend so I surprised him with this incredibly rich Monster cupcake I got from The Flying Pig Cafe. Thanks to Debbie Boren for taking my last minute custom order! This thing is delicious and soooo much fun! If you get a chance order one from there, you will not regret it!

Katy Artisan Fair 6/21/08


Katy Artisan Fair 6/21/08, originally uploaded by sanchezdeortiz.

I had a great time on saturday and met some other vendors at the Katy Farmers Market. I love meeting new people and I get a lot of great feedback on my jewelry. I was excited to sell some of my beloved pieces! I sold an amazing piece which unfortunately I forgot to photograph. It was made of aventurine faceted stones and a 22k vermeil bead. Amazing piece! ALSO...... a photographer was there from the Houston Chronicle snapping some pictures with me and some customers... Hopefully those pictures will make it to the paper. I will check daily.....Can't miss my 15 seconds of possible fame!

I absolutely love this stone Botswana. I love that not all stones look alike. Combining this stone with copper was a great choice. Love it!
