I went to Pinterest and found the recipe I was looking for, and I will share it if it works! Pinterest is a lovely idea, as it means I can save a library of recipes and ideas for things to make in a virtual library on the internet, and it takes up no storage on my shelves. Best of all, it is indexed my way, according to my "boards" and so I can find things according to the way I think. And the things I have pinned to my boards are stored so that I can retrieve them by their pictures.....I love it!
I follow a couple of people whose tastes I admire but I wish I had their ability with the needles - I have a board full of felted items, and another of patchwork and quilted things, but that board is more just things to look at and admire, because I haven't a hope of getting my hands to make them at the moment. Maybe I will develop more patience in my old age...
Edit at 10.55pm: It didn't work, so I will have to try again before I share it. On the other hand, a recipe for Tiffin worked wonderfully, so I can share that tomorrow!
Trying to live my life for God and my family, with an eye on the pennies!
This year I have decided to include something creative into my everyday routine.
ReplyDeleteSomething like cookery or a crafty project - I have committed to 15 minutes per day but often find I want to pick it up again in the evenings for a few minutes ( or longer LOL). I am finding it is bringing some equilibrium to my life.
So don't wait - do something that makes your heart sing today :-)
Thanks, Elaine! I will - I am happily knitting, but find that whenever I try to sew, I am all fingers and thumbs and can't do whatever it is I want to do, and then there is the sewing machines! Hate them with a passion - used to have an ancient hand-cranked Singer and could manage that, but it was my gran's and I think my sister might have it at present. I hand sewed simple blankets from brushed cotton for the girls each time I was pregnant, but they were very very simple and hand sewn, so less to lose my temper with!!
ReplyDeleteI am scared to join Pinterest. As far as crafts go, my eyes are far bigger than my belly. If I ever get my backlog down I may wander in... I think Pinterest is safe! WS xxx
ReplyDeleteWS - stay well clear, my friend - I think it could be addictive! I just pop in there about once a week or so to see what people I follow have pinned and check out some recipes to try occasionally. The bread I am trying tonight is not looking good at this stage, so I can't count it as a success yet - may have to tweak the recipe somewhat before I share it.
