Well, almost done. Still have a lot of little projects like staining and varnishing the top of the window seat, and making a cushion. Fortunately neither is time sensitive. At some point there will be a rug but probably a month away from that. The ingredients for the cushion on the window seat are sitting […]

Yesterday afternoon I blocked my knitting project. Then I had to do more waiting until this morning when it was completely dry to remove all the pins and blocking yarns. Light as a feather. Very pleased with this project and loved knitting the pattern. Yay!

It’s time to make one of our most favorite bread recipes. It’s amazing what happens when I’m not being obsessed with knitting all day long. I have fiddled with this recipe off and on for years because I can’t seem to resist doing that, and it’s gluten free. This is the stickiest dough and it […]
