Wrapped Earrings




made these Lisa Niven Kelly earrings quickly last night - I think I'm going to oxidize them - they're really sparkly.  Not really my style but got me back into wire-wrapping.  She designs for Beaducation.com.  They had a booth at the Milwaukee Bead and Button Show last weekend and everyone there was so nice and helpful.  Of course by the time we got there, they were sold out of the metal dapping set I wanted, but I got a 10% off coupon for an internet order. Yippee!

Baking Bread


Baking homemade bread! Took out the old Mark Bittman / Jim Lahey no-knead recipe and it still works beautifully! and can't be easier. Found a easy watch for those that may want to try it - I use a heavy-duty stock pot with a lid to bake it - and using flour for the dusting instead of bran is just fine.

The doggie had the poops but a couple teaspoons of pumpkin cleared that up right away - so the leftover can went into pumpkin spice bread. YUMmmmmm!
The smell in this place has been heavenly!!!!!!!!!
