Resolutions........

So I am still thinking about my resolutions for the year.  I am giving myself a bit to get passed the excitement of the new year so that don't go all willy nilly and make resolutions that are too pie in the sky.  Let's face it they will all fall into the categories of fitness, organization, school or kids school really but I want concrete goals with plans this year.
I am a list girl.  I will make a list for everything just so that I can cross something off my list.  I am a complete nutter for lists.
This said I have the first resolution/ goal kind of fleshed out now.  drum roll please ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first goal is to be no store bought bread.  For the year. No really quit laughing.  I have learned to make a decent loaf now I just have to do it.  To start with today I made three lovely loaves and these yummy looking rolls.  There were more rolls but the others were used in an experiment.  What experiment?? Oh it is called taste testing and to be accurate you need more than one sample.  Really, it is a science thing.  I am sure of it.
These were all half and half as in half white flour and half whole wheat flour that I had ground.  They are so yummy.  I got the recipe from a friend.
I have also started a sour dough starter that I got from here.  I love reading her recipes.
Now I just have to try my hand at naan, pita, tortillas and real sour dough.  I can still here y'all laughing so stop it.  May you should just join me in the endeavor what do you think??

Goodness so much has happened over summer and as fall has begun.  I had intended to be able to blog more but well you know......... We have two extra little people living with us now days and that just adds to my happy chaos.  Oh and makes me bone tired.  I am still working out whenever I can and I joined a running group here in town.  I have another five k on Saturday. I have been canning and making stuff like mad so I will attempt to catch up over the next few days with the tutorials and ideas. A couple of weeks ago we were in the cities which of course means I went to Trader Joes and Dragonstar Market.  I love the deals I can get down there.  One of my deals was a heap of Thai basil for pesto.  I try to by a heap each time we go so I can make it all up and then freeze the pesto for later.  I love easy suppers. My pesto recipe is another one of those things in my head.  If you have made pesto before you will know what to look, smell and ...

Warning! Warning! Warning!

In my head a dalek was saying the title as I typed, so now you know how my mind works.  There is a reason for the warning.  If you are eating, drinking or have a small child sleeping near you you probably ought to just hold off on this post.  No really I am not kidding and you probably should go to the bathroom first because you in danger of laughing yourself right in to a puddle in the next few moments. As you know once again my new me resolutions included becoming more fit.  I started doing cross fit about four months ago.  I do not even want to know how long anyone was betting I would last but I am sure I had less time on me than any of you.  Which makes all of this even more ridiculous. You might be wondering what on earth you might be looking at people but I am here to tell you those are actually my clothes.  The shoes are now broken in for me by me.  This is what those crazy enough to be up to see the runners at this year's midnight sun ...

The Bag Lady

Image
Remember a while back when I said I was knitting bags and would open an etsy shop at some point????? Well some point is nearly here.  :D  I just need  springy weather to take real pictures of them.  The weather is starting to cooperate so it is getting closer. Here are some of the market bags that will be going up on the site.  I haven't quite finished the felted bags as they all still need their linings made but I imagine in the next couple of weeks...... Those are a few of my babies.  Hey, it was a long winter and I wasn't sure what else I wanted to knit.  Besides so long as I was knitting, canning, baking or something productive nobody asked me how the dress was coming along.  Clever, aren't I?  I plan on selling on etsy and then maybe here in the community at a craft fair or two.  I would really like to get about ten more felted bags ( I will post pics later) done.  If I could do that, then I could see about renting a space ...
