Let There Be Bread

Since today is Saturday, it is about time to make bread for lunches this coming week.

This loaf is made of an assortment of whole grain flour left over small amounts that I had in the cupboard!

Now, I have a cleaner cupboard, and lunch bread for this week:

Banana Bread

Good Evening Internet Friends!

It is rather late, but then again, I am the Red Eye Crafter.

As I stood this evening staring at 4 old banana's on my cupboard before bed I decided I would make banana bread!

Now, this is not just ordinary banana bread, it has Poppy Seeds in it!!!

Very tasty if I do say so myself!

Here is the recipe:

 

Poppy Seed Banana Bread:

1/3 cup canola oil

1/4 cup honey

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

4 mashed bananas

2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon soda

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

 

Mix ingredients together and bake for one hour at 350 F.  Enjoy!

 

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Happy Spring!!!

Happy First Day of Spring Everyone.  It sure did feel great to have spring arrive today! Oh, wait, what is this?????

 It's the Yellowhead west of Edmonton this morning!  I was en route to Drayton Valley for my twice a month work adventure out there and the highway looked like this the whole way!!!

Here is what my Go Go Go Toyota looked like when I got home:

It's been said that I fly low when I drive, now I know why!  The Toyota has feathers, therefore wings!!!

Then of course there was the question as to what was for dinner when I got home.

The answer; Pizza!!

I used the above link recipe for the crust.  My son's favorite pizza is cheese, but I threw in peppers (yellow and green), mushrooms, and pineapple just so our intake of fruit and veggies was present!

And, lastly to my ramblings, further proof that my son's cat really is trying to "get" me:

Work In Progress Wednesday

Good Evening Internet Friends.  I am participating again this week in Work In Progress Wednesday over at The Needle and Thread Network.

This weekend we road tripped down to Whitefish, Montana.  I love the area, it's just so pretty, and there are several awesome quilt shops within "sneezing" distance.  Yes, of course I stopped in ; )

On the way down though, I knitted,and here is what I completed in a few hours:

The rest of the trip was spent playing car games with my son and enjoying the scenery:

Somewhere in the Middle of Montana?  Yes it was snowing/raining at the time of this picture : )

Here are the locals who were also staying at the same resort:

My son enjoyed taking pictures of these locals everyday, they would come right up to the cabin to check in on us I think.

Lastly, the road used to access the cabin we were staying in!!  This is actually the good portion!  The rest of the road was too bumpy to get a good picture, and we were not sure that if we stopped the car we would be able to get going again, as the tracks ahead were soft, squishy MUD!!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

p.s.  Will post some of my finds over the next few days as I unpack : )

Done and Done!

Late yesterday evening I finished knitting my Turkey socks.

Was very excited to have them done so wore them today to go shopping!

Now imagine my surprise while driving on a rural Montana road when I came around a corner and there were two turkys the same color as my socks standing in the road!

I did not get a picture of them, but I will post some pictures of our Montana adventure soon!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Happy Quilting Day

Last night I decided that I should really start doing some of the quilt kits and patterns that I have been squirreling away in my craft room as I am likely to return home with a few more before the weekend is over.

I found this kit for these place mats and decided I could start on them:

I know spring is arriving, but once I get the art of these down to a science then I can start on some spring or summer ones!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Friday Feature Card

Good Evening Internet Friends.

 I am doing some late night crafting tonight not just because that's how I roll, but because I am still up doing laundry at this hour for our road trip tomorrow!!

While I wait for loads to dry and finish up, I have been keeping busy in the craft room.

I decided I should play along with the Krafting Crew group and  Mojo Monday 336 again.  Here is what I made:

I love this animal stamp set.  It is just so much fun! 

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
