Woah Nesting Nellie!

I have been an autumn hermit nesting nellie these past few weeks! My apartment smells faboo though, and I'm getting some things done for the Geek+Nerd Etsy Shop. The hat above, which I've dubbed the Coffee and Chai Starburst hat is for sale there if anyone is interested. In order to network with more crafty peeps I made a MySpace account separate from my personal account exclusively for Geek+Nerd. I have stumbled upon some really great crafters/artists in just a few short days. I'm really diggin' on this painting via Clare Cupcake

The lovely roast chicken above is the current smell of the moment in my kitchen. My mum let me borrow a Rachel Ray mag, and the recipe is from there. Super easy and looks fabulous. I haven't tasted it yet, it's for later this week...but you cook it by stuffing bacon underneath the breast skin. YUMMO, as Rachel would say!

In other cookery happiness, you should pick up the most recent issue of BUST magazine because inside (among a multitude of other goodies) is the most fab homemade chai recipe ever. EVER! It's amazing, and it makes my apartment smell vaguely like Christmas, which of course I love!
