WHY?

I'm not happy today.  I'm just so crabby you have no idea!

I made a mistake yesterday.  And as a consequence I got screamed at.

I was made to feel like I'd committed a massive sin.  
I was made to feel like shit.

And I was reminded that some of my kids seem to think it's perfectly OK to scream at their mother and show her NO RESPECT whatsoever. 
That hurts.  I just don't get it.  And I never will.

I often wonder what the hell I've done wrong in raising my kids... when did I say "Yep, treat me like shit, it's OK"?

So, there ya go.  I'm not in a good mood, so stay away from me.  And don't text me either, I ain't gunna tell you anything else.


TODAY:  I'm going to continue making placemats for my Mother's Christmas Present.

ABOVE:  That's the pattern and the fabrics I'm using today.

Apart from some sewing, the only other thing I want to do today is post a little parcel to Miss Rena.  I might do that once the kids have left for school.

ONWARD...

 I forgot.... the 2nd loaf I cooked last night, and sat and waited 5 hours to be cooked:

UNMITIGATED DISASTER.  I didn't even bother to take it out of the pan last night, I took one look and said 'FUCK IT' and went to bed.

I'm going to buy more NEW yeast today and see if that makes it work.
If not, I will be taking the bloody breadmaker BACK.

I have been to the mall, posted a parcel and bought new, different yeast.  I think that was my problem... I will show you later what I mean.  AND I am going to put on a new loaf right now.  Same recipe as last night.  Let's see if the new yeast makes a difference?

If I've copied the link right, the above is rather funny, you will have to type it in your search bar though.

ABOVE:  New yeast on Left, Old Yeast on Right.  There is quite a difference.  Hopefully the new yeast is going to work.  The OLD Yeast was bought just last week so isn't actually OLD, just the wrong sort I think.

Well... I can smell that bread baking!  I hope so much that it comes out right.  

I got the Spinner Block finished:

ABOVE:  now I have 6 Placemat Blocks ready to quilt and bind.  Yaaaa... that's the easy part.

ABOVE:........
SUCCESS!  At last.  On the left is the disaster from last night, on the Right... still piping hot and smelling divine...  XLarge Rosemary and Thyme Herb Loaf.

I might add the disaster from last night is like a block of CONCRETE! I'm sure I could hammer a nail in using it.


LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS.  They also sink family ties and friendships.  Just Sayin'.

Grocery shopping... needed to be done.  So Stew and I went out after dinner and did it.  
It's so much less of a shit job when you do it at night.  

End of Day:  finished better than it started.  Time to chill out and do nothing for a while I do believe.
