My BFF from high school, Sandy, shared a few of her dearly departed Grandmother’s bread recipes with me last week.
Yesterday, I tried the Honey Oatmeal bread…. As you can see, it didn’t turn out quite as planned. It’s still tasty, just short and dense.
Today I had much better results! I used her bun recipe only I made it with half wheat and half white flours instead of all white flour. I can’t wait to sample one!!
After a little nudge…I thought I’d show some of my pages. Some of these have been shown on the blog before quite a while ago. The rest were made in my pre-blogging days.
I’m only showing my pages as I didn’t ask permission from the others to display their work.
Please forgive the weird formatting…not sure whats up with the pictures and why they won’t go where I want them!
I started this AB years ago with a few tip-ins from a swap. I love quotes… It seemed like the perfect theme. Alas, I ran out of steam on the project. It was set aside…forgotten. Recently, I’ve had the drive to finish those UFOs (unfinished objects) sitting around basically to free up space and cross things off my on-going list.
I asked my good friend Elizabeth if she’d make a tip-in or two for me… She came up with the idea of hosting a tip-in swap on abc_alteredbookclub. Sweet!
Just look at the end result! A completed book! Well, truthfully, there are spots for 3 more quote pages if they were glued directly down but for all intensive purposes…this is officially crossed off my list!!!!
Another fabric collage!
These are definitely going to be something you’ll be seeing more of. Love all the texture and movement you get with all the layers.
You can find this one in my esty store.
Do you make lists?
I do..constantly. It helps keep me on track. Otherwise I end up wasting a bunch of time on…something…anything…except what I really need to be doing.
I also love the satisfaction of crossing things off that list. Sometimes I even write down the thing I just did even though it hadn’t been on the list…just so I can cross it off. Quirky I know…but that’s just me. Take it or leave it….
My tea set today is actually a mismatched orphan set from my mom. I bet you wouldn’t have even guessed. The cup is from Germany and the saucer is from Austria. I think they look quite nice together.
My tea today was an organic Jasmine blossom Green tea. I’ve figured out that I really do not like flower teas. I don’t care for chamomile either.
I better get finished up…there’s a lot on my list!!
Go see what my friends are doing today…you’ll find the links on Kimmies blog.
It’s such a beautiful day!! It’s bright and sunny. A perfect day for a walk.
I love how warm the sun is this time of year in comparison to the air temp.
After going to get water at the spring I stopped by a local park to take a little nature walk.
I don’t think there will be any picnics today.
This is where the canoes are usually stored.
This cute little squirrel stopped to posed for me…wasn’t that sweet.
