Creative Output - company coming!
I am expecting a long time friend over tonight for cocktails - we only manage to do this once a year! So today was cleaning my house. I have also have my friend in town - she and I have been friends since the day we were born - really!
So it's time to clean the house front to back!
Having said that, it's only all good if I keep my promise to myself and try some creativity too. I have a journal
It's not for "dear diary" but for when I get a good book idea (I am working on being a children's book author)
I keep a journal for creative ideas, inspiration, story ideas. My teaching days at the nursery school are Tuesday and Thursday, so my journal is called Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
This is my watercolor of a nectarine with a note in the leaves. The leaf talks about the lovely gift from my husband of a share in our local farm stand. Once a week I can fill of basket up with fruit and veggies from our local farms. Lovely!
Table Decoration!
This was my mothers favorite vase, she always pulled it out in the fall. Even though it's waterproof - I tested the old thing! I thought for my mini carnations a concealed container was in order, to keep the flowers from from flopping out
a small can!
After finding the right size in the pantry, I emptied the contents into a baggie, peeled off the label and washed it out. It is the perfect size! Cutting down the flowers to size, letting them flop over the sides a bit, really did the trick!
You can't see the can at all!
I mean when I was done!
The swan looks like a beauty queen!
Or a float in the Rose Bowl parade!
Cookbook Challenge!
Onion and Goat Cheese Tartlets are going to be our cocktail main snack. I snipped this out of the Washington Post a long time ago - time to give it a go! I'll report how it went tomorrow. Puff pastry, caramelized onions and goat cheese - what's not to love!
