The Perfect Day

Saturday was the perfect day, a day that I was very much in need of. It started off with a walk around Greenlake with Angie. The weather was just right, although a bit windy, but the sun was shining and everything was getting so green. We had already decided that today was the perfect day for 14 Carrot Cafe. We haven't been in ages and decided it was a necessary treat after a good walk. Finish walk, drive to Cafe, have too much to eat (but so worth it) and then ponder rest of day. What else to do... wait, go to fabric store for craft ideas. Well not so much ideas as the resolution to finally make our market bags. Angie stuck with her fabric, however I found two new fabrics to use for my bag. I carried them around and as we stood waiting to get the fabric cut, there was a picture of my fabrics already paired up and featured in a project posted on a sign above the bolts. First words out of my mouth, "I put them together without the sign!" Classic, we had a good laugh over that. Fabric purchased, QFC stop for snacks then back to little Green House for an afternoon of sewing. The market bags were easy, how hard can sewing rectangles be? We added pockets as well as creating (without a pattern) little matching wallets. Something tells me the market is going to be even better this year :):)

Hello Bread!

On my last trip to see my mom I made off with her mini bread maker. I have always liked the little guy and am pretty sure I was the one who pushed her to make the purchase. It makes the greatest little loaves of fresh bread in less than 2 hours. I started off with a simple loaf of honey bread and although it isn't much to look at it was delicious!
