| My Pie Birds |
The weekend zipped on out of here, then Monday was spent rearranging appointments because of the weather, going to the one appointment I couldn't postpone because I need new contacts and you must have your eyes examined at least once a year in order to get your prescription renewed. I just opened my last contact, and of course my vision is so bad that my contacts are a specialty order and they take a while to get here, so I had to keep that appointment. Now it's Tuesday and I'm not sure I'm ready for it.
I've been busy putting things in our shop at etsy (MacQue), a few more paintings, an old Villeroy and Boch rumtopf, a piece of vintage pewter, all part of my cleaning out the cupboards.

I'm still sorting out my Christmas presents and one thing that was kind of a Christmas present. I've been baking my own bread for the past 6 months or so and keeping it fresh has proven to be a challenge. We wrap it up in Saran wrap, my generic name for all clingy wrapping paper, but it hasn't been ideal. Mac looked at a lot of bread boxes for me, but I was really fussy, didn't want wood or metal, preferred ceramic and didn't want him to spend a fortune. So he decided to let it go as a gift and I'd search for one after Christmas.
He did give me 2 pie birds, one vintage , Little Red Riding Hood, and one new one, a cardinal.
After Christmas I got a sale catalog and found a canister that would work as a bread box, and I liked that it stood up and would take less room on my counter. It's in the Winterberry pattern and I already had other pieces from that pattern so I'm pleased.

And there goes my Tuesday, another appointment tomorrow so Wednesday's shot, before you know it my week is gone. As I often tell people I do not know how I ever found time to work.

I agree with you there. I've been in early retirement for a number of years since an accident, and all (well...) people seem to ask me is what I DO all day - as if that was the biggest problem. Since it isn't, I never know quite what to say.
ReplyDeleteI'm still wondering how people find time to get bored after they retire. Both my husband and I retired early out of choice and have never looked back.
ReplyDeleteI bake all our own bread. However I try to keep it fresh we usually end up with the heel of the loaf going moldy.
