January 2009 Already!

Craft

I have restarted my knitting efforts... so far just plain but I have actually managed not to drop a stitch yet and have kept my knitting away from S so that I still have knitting done! Woohoo! I think I've done 20 rows now! lol I am getting there slowly!

Crumbs

I have been doing a bit of cooking. I can't take photos at the moment as our "real" computer has gone kaput. I made some lovely cupcakes (Lesley's recipe) which were a hit with raves about how light they were. We are attempting Failsafe at the moment but DH is really struggling with the lack of bread and in fact we had a lapse today as S woke up vomiting and asking for toast and butter... who could deny her that when she's not well? Poor little duck. At any rate I've made chicken stew, chicken casserole, rissoles, mince topping and scones. The rock scones as I affectionately dubbed them were not a hit! lol Scarily, they were more of a hit than the rest of the food which DH says is bland, bland, bland!

Nothing has gone on with my 'Culture and Creation aspirations but I will get there!

We are currently in the process of changing rooms around... wish I'd taken before and after pictures as I think the house will look a lot better with the changes once we've finished. The study and lounge have been done and we're currently working on the kids' room. Of course the entire place is everywhere but once it's all in place it will be awesome! After the kids' room we're moving onto the entry room (which has already had some changes made as furniture has been moved in and out of other rooms). The kitchen needs a major cleanup and hard decisions on what we actually need and what is just taking up space! Actually, there's a lot of those decisions that will have to be made in the near future.
