TWENTY-NINE

 

We got popsicles from an ice cream truck while we waited for sister to finish her piano lessons. Not pictured it Molly breathing super heavily until she got bites of cold popsicle. 

2021 week twenty-nine

Sleepy kitty in my plant-filled window. 

I've been soaking up my last few days of hot long lazy summer before school and work start up. I've been finding small joys in embroidering plain shirts and nightgowns. (Note: I only did the blue embroidery pictured here. This nightgown I bought at the Kensington Palace gift shop a dozen years ago. )

I've also been working on my crumb and crust textures. Fair aeration, but there's room for improvement.

I probably need a real bread lame and not just an exacto blade I found...

Eight is weird, and amazing.
