Problem: Pants with a hole in one knee.
(ok…so I forgot to take a photo before actually cutting the legs off)
Solution: Capri pants.
BTW–she picked the fabric for the extensions. I didn’t think it matched too well but it was her choice.
I did it!
I made bread. Not my usual bricks!!
After nearly 16 years, I decided to get out my Kitchen Aid mixer recipe book for guidance. Before someone asks… Yes, I use my mixer all the time but never reference the manual.
I still had to improvise a bit since the recipe called for powdered milk and I only had DariFree. Not sure if the proportions would be the same or not but it seemed to work.
We’ll have to see what the rest of the family thinks of it later…
I got a wonderful surprise in the mail…
Martha, the winner of my OWOH 1st prize, sent him to me as a very unexpected but truly appreciated thank you gift.
He totally brightened my day!
Today he’ll be observing me in my attempt to bake whole wheat bread from the handle of my china hutch. If I succeed this time, he’ll become my good luck charm. I tend to make bricks… I’m a good cook but baking eludes me. I think it’s the measuring and waiting part that is difficult.
Wish me luck…
Still plugging away at my Nature AB…..
I got a couple new white pens and am really liking how they look. They are Souffle white ink pens by Sakura of America. (no affiliation…just a happy customer)
Just for fun…
My mom found this card in my dad’s room at the nursing home. Due to his dementia, he couldn’t tell her who gave it to him or how it had gotten there.
She thought I had made it.
She was positive I had made it since I used to make cards all the time and had just forgotten to sign it. It’s a beautiful card but it wasn’t me. Although, I do intend to make one of similar style.

It occurred to me that I really would like to give more handmade cards again.
I’m also trying to use some of my scraps. I just can’t stand to toss perfectly usable papers into the recycling bin.
