Happy Wednesday creative friends! I hope you are having a wonderful week. I am, I am in a great mood today. With the job change and getting back into a groove I haven’t gotten much making done still, but I am feeling better about life in general than I have in a while. I can’t remember if I have shared it on the blog (and I am feeling too lazy to go read my past posts) but I am definitely impacted by Sad this time every year. We often joke that living in the Pacific Northwest in the winter can feel like living in Mordor. My happy light was missing and I finally broke down and bought a new one (then immediately found the other one) and between that, getting back on a schedule, and the sun showing its beautiful face here a few times in the last couple weeks, I am feeling a bit more like myself again. And I do have a couple things to share!
I think my favorite part about this photo is the poodle in the background. I have actually finished all of the branches and am about halfway through the leaves on this now, but I thought this photo was too cute not to share! See that ball in her paws? She really, really, really wanted me to throw it and couldn’t figure out why I would rather be working on my embroidery project. This is from a kit I bought from Amazon*. I am loving embroidery right now and just enjoying working on improving my skills. Embroidery has never spoken to me before, but it has been loudly yelling my name the last few weeks…
I say I’m not making anything, but I still have been making our bread in my bread machine and other kitchen basics like veggie broth and granola for every one. I am so frequently hard on myself for not getting more done, but I actually do get a lot done in a day if I stop and think about it. I just pulled these homemade burger buns out of the oven. I wish you could smell how good my house smells right now! I did the dough in my bread machine and then shaped them and baked them in the oven (this is the recipe I used). We are going to do boca burgers and homemade fries in the air fryer for dinner tonight, yum! I think next time I might divide the dough into 8 buns rather than 12, some of these came out rather small.
That’s about it friends! But I did spend way too many hours on Pinterest this weekend and I am feeling more inspired than I have in a long while. What about you? What projects are you working on? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Happy Making-
