I run, bake, and make things.
I also teach elementary kids art stuff.

I’m working on a package design for these cookies. My original thought was a card. Here’s my prototype. I may need to make the circle a bit larger to accommodate the bag the cookie will be sealed into.

Much miserable walking today. I couldn’t make my legs run. Some days are like that.

Background icing is done! I’ll add the details tomorrow. It takes a few hours for the icing to solidify.

Today’s bake! I had an excess of egg whites from making ice cream so I made angel food cake. We used the rest of our fruit salad from breakfast. And I made fresh whipped topping.

Today’s run is brought to you by the letter S. I started with sunshine and sweat, then a storm blew in and I was soaked by sprinkles. Then suffocated by steam from the street!

Today’s brunch was Fluffy Austrian Torn Pancakes from Smitten Kitchen. They are a little extra work, but they are fun to eat. Not pictured is the fresh fruit salad we also had. I piled it onto my pancakes with some homemade peach jam! So yummy!

Seems like a good night to bake and decorate some cookies. I’m finally working on an idea that’s been in my head for months.

This very large box of yarn showed up for my next project! Hopefully, I can focus for the next few months and get the dolls completed before my son grows out of watching Tumble Leaf.

We traipsed all over Kennedy Space Center today! I was sporting my newest creation! I had enough fabric leftover from the shirts I made at Father’s Day to make myself a dress! I added trim detail with bias tape. And it had pockets! 🧵🪡🧶

I really like cinnamon rolls! I tried out this Swedish version. It’s a little extra work because you cut thin strips of dough and twist them into a bun shape but they were really good!

I had a good first two miles then the humidity got me on the last mile. I’m going to spend the day rehydrating!

Crunchy, sandy, salty beach hair acquired!

Got an early run in this morning. It was nice that the temps and feels like were only in the. 80s! It’s the easiest 4 miles I’ve done in a while

The breakfast struggle meal is real! Leftover naan, fried eggs, and a dollop of homemade peach jam. Send help!

Has anyone used leftover rice from an Indian restaurant to make rice pudding?

My newest dress made of out in the wild! Here’s proof that I do wear what I make, I just don’t usually think to take photos of what I am wearing. 😘🪡🧵
I was cleaning a pile of stuff in my creating space and found this abandoned sewing project. I didn’t like how the waist fit and the fabric under my arms bunched. So today I hacked it apart and adjusted the bodice. Then I added a panel to thread elastic through. Then sewed it back together.

I pickup us another work in progress project before I jump into a new project. This stripey fabric will soon be a Sutton Blouse from True Bias.

It seems I’ve done a bunch of running since I’ve started using Strava. Also, I did my Freedom 5k today.

It’s been a week and we have shoots! We should be able to start using them in a few days!
Started a new pot of spring onions. We had a pot for years but they stopped growing well. I used the leftover bottoms from a grocery store bunch to get this one started.

I’m on a mission to make good macaroni salad. Today was my first attempt. I think the sauce is good but it needed more.

Look! I’m doing fancy stuff to asparagus!

Sometimes breakfast has to wait until you can make biscuits! I needed biscuits to try my peach jam.

Our fun activity for the day was making a shrinky-dink. We did one as a test since I haven’t made these before. The best part was watching it shrink in the oven!

Tonight’s dinner! Chicken Marsala with rice and broccoli. We had a few hen of the woods mushrooms left from Monday so I tossed those in as well. The only person struggling with this meal was me while cooking!

My first cookie in a few months.
I was inspired by a trip to a local bakery to get back to making decorated cookies. Today is lettering practice.
