These Things Are Fun~ner Than Laundry

Yes sir~ree bob....f u n ~ n e r!

After weeks of staring in my own episode of volunteering gone wild...the laundry situation was out of control.  So today...as the dust is beginning to settle 'round these parts...and the "MOM" is in the house...it was time for some serious housekeeping and playing catch up with the laundry.

But guess what...I managed to find things

to do that are fun~ner than laundry.

As surprising as that may be...take a gander and see if you agree.

I festooned a wicker tray for the dinning room table

with accouterments for dinning...F U N ~ N E R! 

Chirp...

Played with a new stash of fabric for my shop...

Starred at these ink soaked stamps for ten minutes...

trying to think of fun words to stamp on that stash of fabric...

When you think about it...it kind of looks like a pile of folded laundry...

Only...fun~ner!

Thought I would get a jump~start on the red, white ~n~ blue decorating season...

Fun...

Fun~ner...

I can almost feel Summer...

Sweet, sweet Summer...

The truth is...even with all of the fun distractions today...

I did manage to do several loads of laundry...

More fun lies ahead this week...I am joining a new antique/vintage mall...

I have a booth to fill...this means going on the "hunt" to glen items for the booth...

oh the fun that will be had...this too is fun~ner than laundry.

Have a great week.

I Bake Bread

Everyday.

Yes.

I bake homemade bread.

Everyday.

Do I love it?

Yes.

Would you love it too?

I do believe so.

I love this recipe so much that I thought I would print

it out on a canvas and share it with whomever might want to join in the baking folly...

I wanted it to have a time~worn patina...kind of Provencal~y and wonderful...

I Mod Podged some old dictionary pages to some of the sides of the canvas...

And burlap~ed the other sides...of course...

I think I am going to fuss with it some more...

But first...I think I will bake a loaf or two...

So for now I will hang this above the stove...

Isn't she purty?

 

Does my house smell amazing?

Yes!

How do I have the time?

That's an easy one.

I toss the simple ingredients in my

"older~than~the~hills" 

bread machine and set the cycle to dough.

The machine {or the little kitchen fairies that live in the

older~than~the~hills bread machine} mix, knead and rise the dough.

Is magic involved?

I am certain of it!

When the machine beeps after about an hour and a half....I take the 

magical fairy made dough out and put it in bread pans or make cinnamon rolls

or cheese stuffed bread and bake!

Does the bread machine {or kitchen fairies}

do all the work?

Yes.

Do I take ALL the credit?

What do you think?

Happy Wednesday my Friends...I hope it is a magical one!
