This summer I do not feel like I have a lot new to share. Part of that is I have been making for my Etsy shop. Like this project bag. I really like it! But it is not the first project bag I have made. It will not be the last. It will go into the shop. Or at least until I decide it has been there long enough and it is mine. But thinking that, someone will probably buy it.
I have done a lot of creating this summer but it is this type of creating. Or creating that fails. There have been some lovely fails! Like I am trying to find just the right temperature for our favorite pizza currently. I will share it because it is that good but we have been eating a lot of not quite right pizza. It does not mean the boyos do not rave. There is talk about moving the shop and the Boss got asked yesterday, "But what about our bready treats? I do not think I wish to work in a new shop!" I laughed so hard. I had figured it was a perk. I let them know when bread has come out of the oven, every time. There is talk about building me a kitchen in the same space so they can continue to have bready treats.
It has been a summer for creation failure. But then I have done all the easy stuff. I am now way into the weeds. For example, looking at my pizza dough recipe and realizing that it is very close to the croissant dough recipe. Yes, I was craving croissants and made them from pizza dough. If they are even better next time, I will post. It is what I do. Pushing the envelope. Creating. And some times creating just does not go as planned. That is okay.
There is a tropical storm coming close. There is predictions for much rain and the possibility of power being out. There is also a boucherrie to go to in South Carolina over Labor Day weekend. I may be around but not much around in the next couple weeks.
