Making a Tutu

Well I did it!  I made some tutus for my smallest grand-daughters for Christmas. 
One likes to pretend she is a ballerina, while the other likes to be a princess.  Probably wouldn't find a need to ever make them again, but it was a cool experience,

The girls absolutely loved them.  Maybe I'll make a valance out of some material one day using this method.  Until next time......

Bread

It has been an exciting week for me.  I made my first ever home made bread last weekend.  It was a basic recipe and seemed a little dense to me, but everyone loved it and it only lasted about 2 days. I will try again soon, but maybe find a way for it to be a little more airy and light.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I got the recipe from allrecipes.com.  It was really quite simple.  This past weekend I got another recipe for some Italian Herb Bread, which I made on Sunday, and today (Monday) I only have half a loaf left.  It was really good and was less dense than the basic home made bread.  I cannot believe how easy it is or why I waited so long to try my hand at it.  It just goes to show that fear of failure is a poor excuse for not trying to do something.

My next attempt is going to be honey wheat bread, which I am getting ready to make now.  I'll let you know how it turns out.  Until next time....

Sunny Florida

Hello from the sunshine state again. We are apparently being warned of a hard freeze for the next couple of nights, so it makes one wonder where the Sunshine State gets it's name. We were cloudy and dreary all through the holiday season, and my holiday vacation to boot! Alas, now that I am back to work the sun has decided to grace us with his presence, albeit with below freezing temperatures. I actually don't mind the cold, in fact, I prefer cold weather to hot weather. I can always put on more clothes, hats, jackets, gloves etc. to get warm. At least we aren't expected to have an ice storm like we did last Jan. Thank goodness! Did you check out my Create page for some awesome Christmas gifts I made? My recipe page has a new dessert also. Until next time....keep warm and take care.
