Flat Bread

Sourdough Focaccia

   


 


The first one came out okay, a little skimpy on the toppings.

I think the next two will be better: more added toppings, 9x13 baking pans.

Sourdough Refresh

 The Sourdough starter perked up nicely. Phew.

White Seas

Today's early morning fog was especially beautiful; hovering below the hilltops it seemed to create islands surrounded by seas of white.

Wakey-Wakey

I guess it's that time of year again. Time to awaken the hibernating, ahem, neglected sourdough starter slumbering in the back of the fridge.

According to my notes it's last feeding was in December. Yup, almost a year ago.

Let's see if I will be forgiven this time.

Drying Out

A sunny day. It felt good to be outside and enjoy an hour (or two) of sitting, knitting, and catching up on textile-related podcasts.

Spindles Unboxed

The lovely MsChiz on Ravelry is (sadly) selling her collection of Bosworth Spindles.

 

 

I am the lucky new owner of three of her Bossies and a beautiful carded batt she made and gifted.

Cozy in a Bowl

 On this soggy drippy day bean soup and warm cornbread is perfect.

Buckeye Beans

 It has been a little while since I've cooked a pot of beans. I often forget how yummy they are.

A Freshening Wind

Rain is expected for the next few days. The morning dawned with clouds and a brisk breeze.

 

 

I held the fluttering pages down in my daily notebook in order to get a few things written but it did not take long before the cold wind drove me inside.

That's a Wrap

The Guild Sale weekend came to a close today. It was fun, busy, and everyone had a great time.

Today I brought a variety of spindles and fiber and taught folks how to spin.

 

 

I taught one gal to spin on a spindle three years ago and she comes back every year. She said she continues to spin and has knitted a hat with her spindle-spun yarn. Today she taught one of her friends how to spin. Very cool, right?

Tomorrow I will need to straighten the house and corral all my fiber, tools, yarn, and bits and bobs that have taken over downstairs and every horizontal surface.

When my fiber, tools, and yarns are stored away I can give The Man the "all clear" and he can come home from Ventura where he has been hiding out.

CCW 18th Annual Sale & Guild Showcase

First Day 1 - 6 pm

Thirty minutes before the doors opened to the public (there was already a line forming outside). A quick walk-through to snap a few pics before I headed upstairs to set up the Lendrum spinning wheel.
