I’ve been a wowfully poor blogger of late…the fact that I couldn’t even remember my password and username for WordPress being a pretty good indication of my interest in blogging recently.
2012 is going to change all that, I have resolved to blog more frequently and I have lots of crafty plans. I’m proud to say that I’ve nearly finished my first cardigan of the year…go me! (We’ll overlook the fact that it’s for a one year old and worked in worsted weight yarn without seams for the time being shall we). And that I’ve washed and ironed the fabric to make my first ever quilt.
I’ve also decided that to encourage the blogging thing I’m going to undertake 12 baking challenges this year. Yes I am completely ripping off the Great British Bake Off but it’s inspired me, and I think that challenging yourself mentally is probably a good idea when you’re a stay at home mum with a strong inclination toward to eating rose and violet creams all day whilst watching reruns of Americans Next Top Model and Nanny 911.
So I haven’t finally decided on my challenges for this year but January is going to be sourdough bread and I’m going to attempt to make my own sourdough starter a la Hugh Fernley Whatshisname.
Will be back later in the week with pictures of aforementioned cardigan. Sorry no pictures on this but thought it better to actually publish something than procrastinate for two weeks and leave this post in draft.
Great to hear from you again looking forward to your forthcoming updates.
The challenges sound like a plan, I have been meaning to try sourdough for a while but the thought of having to feed it and keep it alive put me off knowing my history with houseplants lol I have hugh FW s sourdough instructions so may join you on this one !
So glad you are returning to us! You have been missed.
