Do you think I spent a bit of time at my sink on Monday night? Oh yeah, baby. It was because I spent the entire day working in my kitchen. I made eight pans of cinnamon rolls, cream cheese frosting, crust for a pot pie, the actual chicken pot pie, Chex mix, a huge amount of chicken broth, and the same amount of beef broth.
Whew.
It was a long day. But so fulfilling. I love being productive in my kitchen.
Today? Not much different than Monday was. Tomorrow? Laundry. I have a massive amount. How does that happen? It feels like I am washing enough clothes to outfit an army.
This evening I have been intensely working on my photo editing. I have to turn in my assignment of twenty-five pictures tomorrow in class. I don't know if all twenty-five need to be edited but I'm doing it just in case.
I'm not allowed to photograph my kids so the suggestion of Eliza's chubby cheeks as my subject, while brilliant, couldn't happen. I chose cinnamon rolls instead. I really enjoy photographing food, I just wish I had better lighting in my kitchen. The light is totally pathetic and it really holds me back.
Do you want to see one of the three pictures I am submitting? I should clarify: I had to take twenty-five pictures, I am required to submit three. But, the entire twenty-five pictures have to be available should my teacher want to see them.
Here is my favorite picture - I call it "the aftermath"
Pretty cool, huh? I think so. I may frame it and hang it in my kitchen.
Wish me luck for tomorrow night! (Should I survive the laundry pile, that is. Perhaps I should have you wish me luck for that instead!)

I want to see the other two that you're submitting!
Actually, what I really want to do is eat one of those cinnamon rolls. ;) Ah well...
Beautiful! You should totally frame it! I am jealous of your class!
Oh yes, framable for sure.
Wow, your dishes look really good!
No, not just the other 2...how about the whole 25???? Okay, how about 15? Or 10? I can't get enough of your creative mind. Really. I know that sounds silly and stalkish. But, it's sooo true! And you are dead-on. That pic is totally made to frame. And sell.
I'd love to see all your pics! You are incredibly creative Andrea!
What do you do with all the cinnamon rolls you make in a day? Do you freeze them? Give them away?
great aftermath pic! :) maybe you could share every one of those 24 left? :D
btw I'm making/baking cinnamon rolls by your recipe and I have to say it's the best one I've tried so far. thank you for sharing it.
Love, love, love that picture :)
Great composition and that aqua plate (and flowers) look fantastic against the red. Seriously - I really like it.

i LOVE it! and i think i've said it before, but i adore those blue plates- and that is just a sweet piece of color candy for the eyes, i love the picture!
Megan
Andrea, this picture is incredible. I'm loving it. You are such a shoe in for an A:) More pictures, please? And any chance you will share with us the depth of knowledge you are obtaining in class? Pwease.
that's a great picture... i love the colors. I have 'china' the same colors.
Brittany
Great pic!
Beautiful! You are so talented, it blows me away. :)
How would you feel about doing some photography tutorials for the Vblog posts?
Oh I LOVE that picture. It is sellable. Have you thought about selling your photography?
Also what do you do with all those pans of cinnamon rolls? Seriously do you freeze them without the icing? Give it away?
The picture of all your dishes/pans is pretty cool too!
Love it!
Excited for you that you get to take a class. And maybe a little envious ;)
Great picture - frame it for sure! Good kitchen art is hard for me to find - lots of fat chefs and wine bottles, you know?
Your industrious-ness inspires me!
I am once again impressed with your fantasic dish-stacking abilities :)
Wow! You've been very busy lately! The cream cheese frosting sounds heavenly.
I did want to tell you I made your recipe for scones this past weekend and as usual they were a big hit! My mom loved them and so did Sean. :)
Oh..and quick photo question for you. How do you always get your pictures to turn out so crisp? Do you mind telling me what function you are using inside?
so..so..jealous of all that cooking! wish that i made all that..
the aftermath..what a perfect pic! the colors compliment each other so much..
love it! I think it would be a great photo for your kitchen. I had this idea to photograph people we had over for dinner eating and chatting at the table, then I would frame them and hang them in the kitchen. The only problem is...I'm a horrible photographer. I mean, really bad. You can steal my idea if you want, or you can come and visit and take pics of guests at my house! :)
that is a beautiful picture! in pretty much every way. composition, color, concept, AMAZING!
anyways, i was going to tell you that last winter when i was bored out of my skull I was always on the hunt for good still life shots. I don't have very good light in the kitchen either, so I would often (weather permitting) take the stuff right out on the porch and do it right there.
Kevin wonders if kitchens come w/ a built in towel on the counter...perhaps D wonders the same thing?
Good luck, although you don't really need it; you've got skills!
the dishes are gorgeous!
What kind of camera do you use?
Your photos are always so bright! My house must be extremely dark!
What were all the rolls for?? Holy Rolls!
You're a hurricane, woman! How can you cook all that in one day??? I need some lessons big time! I love the dishes, and that last picture is, well, PERFECT.
