Today's To-Do's~~~~~

Busy, busy, busy....lots of things to do today. This week I came across a recipe for Italian Brioche...I have the dough "working" in the bread machine right now. Eight (or so) hours in the fridge, a lot of messing around with the dough, and lots of little croissant-type buttery rolls will appear. I'll be sure to post a photo of my own when these come out of the oven. If they are as tasty as they look in the cookbook, I'll post the recipe too.

Other To-D0's:

• Bundle up quilt/craft magazines and books for YART
• Pack up table cloth (old quilt), folding chair, big canvas umbrella (and stand)
• Grocery and wineshop --we had Bellini's at Bunco last night, and they would be a delightful drink for after the sale tomorrow.
• Trip to the little cake decorating supply shop for cellophane wrappers for homemade soap.
• Make a batch of Merlot Rosemary Jelly and a batch of Camomile Jelly (also for YART)--we'll call it food arts...
• If there's time...go to the basement and pull out the white coffeepot lamp!

More To Do's

Feeling a little ADD today...it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and I'm off work for the next two days. I don't know what to get into first.

The New To-Do:

• Decide how to finish the sewing machine table. New thoughts--black accents on the white table.
• Continue organizing sewing and crafting things.
• Make a list for JoAnn Fabric shopping tomorrow. Six 40% off coupons and I'm not afraid to use them all!
• Make a major restocking pantry list, also for tomorrow
• Major, and most important To Do--make the decision TODAY if I want to return to school next week, or wait until the new semester in January. Having this summer off has been great; I know that I want to continue and get a Masters, but it seems like I've been struck with lots of creative inspiration lately, and I don't want to stifle that...it's been years since I've started and finished so many projects, and if I go back to school now, it will cut into that creative time. Of course, the sooner I start, the sooner I'll finish...and I'm not getting any younger.
