I've been really itching for a new craft lately. I need to have some sort of creative item to work on whether it be baking, cooking, gardening, tinkering with beads to make something new. I've been baking a TON of bread from the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes. Have you guys made the recipe I posted yet? It is SO EASY and SO GOOD.
So I've been making that lately and started adding some new ingredients to it and to change it up some.
I planted my garden - broccoli and brussel sprouts along with the arugula and lettuces that are already growing - and I'm just waiting for some stuff to pop up.
My mom gave me her old composter and I've been filling that up and trying to take good care of it so that I won't open it up in a year and find that nothing has broken down. Which is exactly what happened to my Mom. hee.
And I've been getting a decent amount of bracelet orders lately, but I still am feeling like I need a little craft to keep the artsy side of my brain happy. I keep going back to this site and I really, really want to order some stuff to make some photo jewelry. I'm just weary about making the initial, albeit small, investment into buying some stuff to make these pieces and then opening up the package when it arrives and realizing that none of it looks like what it did on the website. I've checked all the bead stores in town and no one carries this stuff so there's no way that I can hold it, and look it all over before I buy some stuff.
