First time having one of these - first few sips were odd but it’s growing on me…

Result of a 45 minute watercolor class…

Origami boat class - was fun.

A few inches of snow yesterday in Appleton, WI.

IRL DuckDuckGo

Happy Friday! Enjoying beverage at Ambassador in Appleton, WI

Scored a goal tonight at my 50+ beer league hockey game. I play defense - so don’t score often…..

Made two loaves of bread today. The came out with a hard crust but it softened up after cooling down. No idea why one is taller than the other…. The mystery of making bread continues

Cleaned out my kitchen pantry today. Having things on hand is nice but hard to organize….

Snowing again today. Have at least 12” on the ground. The snow blows off the roof and onto our deck - will probably be completely covered by morning.

My husband made homemade cheesecake with whipped cream tonight. He’s using our Kitchenaid stand mixer more the I expected….

My weekend has started… my little pink friend ( cosmo )

Completed “Mimi” the snail Woobles kit. Not my favorite - the yarn used for the shell feels too plastic-y… And it’s a bit homely looking after being finished. When/if I do another snail - will use different yarn…

Completed a little 500 piece puzzle this evening. Ended up with one duplicate piece and one missing…. Enough puzzling for now….

Went to Lambeau field for lunch, stadium tour and Packet Hall of Fame with John and my parent today. Was a nice day. Wish Farve and Rogers were not such Republican fuck-weasels….

Making Pasties for supper tonight. A yummy meal for a cold winter evening in Wisconsin. wi101.wisc.edu/object-histo....

My bread turned out OK yesterday. I measured all ingredients on a scale but still did not want to form nice dough ball in mixer after 10 minutes - ended up adding more flour until it did. Now enjoying a rustic avocado toast with my home made bread for breakfast…

Have “Lola” the polar bear Wooble amigrumi completed. This is the fourth time I’ve completed this pattern. Don’t love doing mini Pom-Pom’s but they get easier each time I do them. With amigrumi, imperfections add personality to them…. To a point :)

Been learning how to make bread with my KitchenAid stand mixer. Finding it is not easy after a few mediocre loaves of bread the past few weeks. So - obtained a few items to help me out. Several bakers on YouTube say you need to weigh the dry ingredients or it is just a crap shoot….

youtu.be/J-QscEXh1gA?... Starting to crochet another “Lola” Wooble. Will probably be my last winter-themed amigrumi as I transition into spring/summer ones :)

The pink llama is done. Not my favorite. Like the original white version of it better….

Crocheting after having a few drink on a Friday night is a bit of a crap shoot. If I can keep count I will be OK :)
