bake, craft, clean, repeat

i love fridays. i especially love them when i have no plans to be anywhere, and the weather is nice and i can open the windows and have a breeze and bake without feeling like i am going to die of a heatstroke. i love that the grocery store next to josh’s store has $5 prepared meats on fridays, and he brings it home so i don’t have to cook, just make a side and a salad. tonight, it is roasted chicken, which makes me happy. we will have leftover potpourri as sides. life is good.

so i wanted to make english muffins. dunno why, they just sounded good to me. so i surfed around until i found this, and tried the recipe.

yum. lunch.

the one in front was my spoils, with turkey, asiago and a slice of tomato. delish, and not hard. just followed the recipe. raised it in the oven with the light on the first time, and it didn’t seem to rise, but it actually did. then, i made the balls, eight instead of six (and could realy have made 10, they are still pretty big), and then did the trick where you put the oven on till you can just touch the wall of the oven, turn it off, and do the second rise in there. then, the rest just like the cute little boy blogger did.

also, made a cute mobile out of skewers, cotton yarn, and construction paper. I LOVE HAVING A KID!!

so much fun.

that was inspired by this blog that i saw on the craftzine blog that i must read every single day several times. i left the leaves off because well, i just wasn’t feeling them. after making them, though, i was feeling the mobile vibe. didn’t have any disposable chopsticks, so i went with skewers. vincent loves it.
i am almost done cleaning the craft room, during which time my darling boy has wrecked his playroom. i am drinking a diet coke, determined to sit down to dinner in a clean house.
my loaf of bread.

whitey.

and a little moment to shine up my girl…

my hotrod babe.

cause she works hard for the money.
