Everything that I touch lately seems to not turn out.
I mean.... case in point.
I really thought that I did a good job with the first one (on the left), but after finishing the second one, I realized that I have to re-do them...
I've had a few things go wrong in the sewing department lately. I think I got a bit Tutorial Happy and my brain had a hard time organizing it all....
Have I ever told you how many pairs of baby pants that I have made?
A TON!!!
So, it sort of surprised me that the one time that I make a tutorial for how to make them, I sewed one leg right side out and one leg wrong side out.
Needless to say....the baby pants tutorial is going to take a bit...
But, the sling tutorial came out awesome.
And on Monday, I get to see a new little bundle tucked inside it...A sweet little baby girl to model it instead of Eben's stuffed animal "Wolfie".
Oh, yes....I forgot to tell you that I made a loaf of THAT bread from the lovely Hannah a bit ago.
And it was....ummm, how shall I put this delicately....
It was....
Ummm.
Ehh.
And I fear that it was entirely my fault...
And I fear that it was entirely my fault...
I don't know if it had to do with the amount of yeast. Or whether the water was too hot.
Maybe I should have used the all purpose flour that the recipe called for.
Instead of using my own mix of 1/2 whole wheat - 1/2 white flour.
Or maybe it was that I cut the recipe in thirds...6 1/2 cups of flour?!?!?!?
I had about 3 cups in my pantry.
Could it have been that I let it rise by the woodstove?
Or too much cornmeal sprinkled?
Or the fact that I used a baking sheet (that I forgot to oil) instead of the requested cast iron pan or pizza stone. (I don't own either.)
Other than that, I think I followed the instructions to a tee!
In the end though, it tasted OK...
but really, what doesn't taste OK once you smother it is butter?
And I realized that I am NOT a good follower of recipes.

Here is to a new month...full of success in the kitchen, the sewing room, and in life.
For all of us.
In like a lion, right?
