Playing catch-up

This week I've been working on a few things. I made myself a wool houndstooth skirt (this is an in-progress shot):



...I fed my Christmas ornament collection:





...I made cinnamon buns:



...and I did some slightly secret salvaging, cutting, and punching, all to stock the Etsy shop. I'm hoping to launch it by Christmas.

I never thought I'd say this to you but, Shannon, you have lovely buns.

Shan said...

Why, Dave, thank you so much! They are a bit doughy though--I AM nearly forty... Gotta work on that.

Thank you for returning to daily posts!
First of all, I missed seeing posts from you.
And secondly, you're encouraging me in my attempts to buckle down to at least half an hour of daily piano practice, instead of finding reasons to avoid it.
So thank you, thank you, thank you.
And I hope that when you open your ETSY store, you'll tell us all how to find it.

Oh, don't you worry, Jeannette! I'm counting on all of you to "Like" it or whatever the kids do nowadays.

Well I am intrigued as to the salvaging, and especially the punching. I'm also a little intrigued by your cinnamon bun filling....

The cinnamon bun filling: softened butter creamed together with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a teeny bit of salt, then spread. From Nigella Lawson's "Domestic Goddess" book!
