I really slept in this morning, I think I was just over tired from the busy shop and the kids. Can you imagine that? My nieces plane took off late from St. Louis due to snow. So she did not arrive Friday evening but was stuck in Salt Lake over night. She came over about 1:00 and we started to work on her wedding dress. I had almost everything we needed in the shop in my left over lace bag. Why I never throw anything away on the dresses I rip into.
I will take a picture when I am done. Lil sis took us out for a late lunch and then we hit Joanns for some lavender satin. I have to teach in church tomorrow so I had to spend time getting a lesson ready and I also have to take treats to choir tomorrow. So I was mulling over what to make. Scones? Muffins? Orange rolls? All are good and breakfast like but taste better when warm and fresh. About 5 p.m. I became very tired as I was working on the wedding dress. It is all hand work, and I decided to go lay down for a minute while Hub's watched the news. He woke me from a dead sleep a little after 8 p.m. I had only be up for 6 hours and I was back to sleep. This is not like me at all.
So now I have a dress that needs a lot more work or at least Lil sis will expect me to be farther along. I have to work up a lesson and I have to make something. I then decided so unlike me to just go buy some sweet rolls and muffins from Albertsons. I know it was not the frugal way to do this and I so seldom have ever done this but I was tired, and I do not want to be up all night baking, just to save a little money and look like Suzy homemaker. I can spend another couple of hours on the dress tonight.
My finger tips are pretty raw from working on the previous dress so I have to wear a thimble and you know that makes me stop breathing. I can just see my grandmother and my mom laughing together at me as I put the stinking thimble on and start holding my breath. What is it? That sweaty feeling of not being able to feel what I am working on. I don't like it. Never the less. A thimble is the only answer at this point. No pun intended.
Have a peaceful Sabbath.

Don't beat yourself up over the sweet roll purchase. Sometimes spending that little extra is worth it for your sanity.
ReplyDeleteWhat sanity that was gone a long time ago. I am putting sanity on my grocery list.
DeleteLemme know if they have a BOGO offer!! ��
DeleteTrade offs-some days we make muffins, and some days the bakery is the only sane choice.
ReplyDeleteIt is just so unusual for me to do this, but I am learning.
DeleteYou were not buying treats, you were buying time which is a priceless commodity! I hate thimbles too but I do have a leather one that lets me breathe while wearing it.
ReplyDeleteI need to check into a leather thimble.
ReplyDeleteI hate using a thimble also but didn't know there were leather ones! What a great tip. I think with your reputation as a baker you would be forgiven for buying once instead of baking.
ReplyDeleteI am going to look for a leather thimble.
