Latest hat I crocheted..... Hats like this and more will be in the shop when its re-opened!! Knitting and crocheting is so relaxing! And I'm constantly amazed how so many neat things can be made from a series of knots!

Well, I don't think I'll be able to make my deadline of having the shop up and running by tomorrow.
=[
Super sad about it!!! I have my office about half way put away..... but its been difficult because my office isn't connected to the house! Its actually a spare little "cottage" that we have in our back yard. So, I've been going in there a little bit each day when I take the boys outside to play...... BUT! Having 2 two year olds running around outside doesn't work out so well if I'm not watching them!!! I'm going to try to shoot for another two weeks [ April 11th]..... Let's cross our fingers that i will be able to get everything put away!! hehe =D

On another note...... I've been in a crazy baking mood! I don't know why, but for the last week all I've wanted to do was bake bread! So far I've made a cinnamon swirl bread, English muffin bread, and a chiabatta bread..... I didn't manage to snap a picture of the chiabatta bread..... but I did get pictures of the other two:

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

English Muffin Bread

They turned out really well..... I definitaley have some minor tweaking to do, but they still were yummy!! On the agenda for this week? Blueberry muffins, strawberry peach muffins, and loaves of whole wheat bread!!!

Japan

I donated to the Red Cross today. Every little bit helps....My thoughts and love go out to all those in Japan and anyone else who were, are, or will soon be affected by the earthquakes and tsunami. Pray for help, survival, and the safety of all during the next couple of months for all those in Japan and all those who have loved ones there.

For anyone who would like to help in the relief and recovery efforts in Japan, please see the list of agency and organization websites found at Yahoo News.
