Slow Sunday Stitching

“What are you doing?”
“I’m darning a sock,” he said, holding it up to show me.
“What’s that lump inside?”
“A sock egg.”
“A sock egg? I didn’t know socks hatched from eggs.”
“Only the best ones do. I can’t wear the cheap kind, the ones that grow on trees. They give me blisters.”
― Polly Shulman, The Grimm Legacy   

 

I am working on some mending that I have long procrastinated on.  Nobody cares, least of all myself.  Ha, ha! 

What else is happening this Sunday?

I continue to work on Aunt Bea’s Parlor for Slow Stitching Sunday.  There are 20 blocks, so this is a long-term project.

I have finished block 4.

Next up, block 5.

I am linking up with Kathy at Slow Sunday Stitching.

No-Knead Crusty White Bread

I thought that you might like to have an update on the bread mentioned in today’s earlier post.

I chose to make my bread with half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose white flour. 

So I can’t really call my bread a crusty white bread.

I used 1/4 part of my dough to bake.  The rest is still in the refrigerator for use later this week.  And I dusted my dough with cornmeal instead of flour.

After baking, I ended up with a rustic, crusty loaf.

Not bad for a mix of flour and water.

Today is Slow Stitching Sunday.

Before I sit in my easy chair, I am planning to try a new-to-me recipe.  I am making a No-Knead Crusty White Bread recipe (King Arthur Flour website)  that I pinned to My Pinterest Bread Board.  The dough is in the refrigerator, ready for baking later.

I will also spend some time free motion quilting on Aunt Sukey Spins Off , my January 2017 UFO Goal.

After these activities, I’ll be ready for my easy chair.

I’m still embroidering Aunt Bea’s Parlor, block 4.

Happy Sunday!
