This week has been so busy. The last week of school for the children and Greg was away in Mudgee - just in time for our first house inspection... so what did I do ... I began to bake !

I have been baking savory - butternut bread, choclate button bread, banana bread ! All very yummy. Tonight I will be starting onion and garlic bread - just ssshhhhh don't tell the children !
I use the New York Times no knead bread which is easy - but takes a lot of time to stand.

Even my kitchen cupboards were clean and organised for the inspection - naturally she did not look in them !

This lot was the section second from the right - I began spinning on the right and progressed through to the left - you can see how my thread has become less bumpy. It is thinner and much more even. I have now begun to felt it, once felted I will embroider it. I can see it as the night sky or something !

Went to
Woy Woy and got the knitting needles at the thrift store - made them into red bangles (while washing up !!)
It is the second day of school holidays and it is going well.... tomorrow is movie day. I think they are off to see Toy Story Three !
