FRANKENCRUMB AND OTHER TRIALS, et al

 

This is as far as I've gotten on adding borders...

[see how wavey the bottom is?  All
those seam endings really
messed me up!!
Definitely "franken-seams!!!"
think I've managed to "fix it"....
We shall  see when I try adding
 another border piece]--if I can find one...

I am finding it a real challenge to come up with
something other than just another plain color!!
I don't have anymore of the "tree on white print"
left so I've tried other B&W prints, but
they just don't "feel" right to me...
Maybe this is finished as is and will
be yet another table topper????

*****************************
My culinary trials lately have been
a total bust!! I tried a "No Knead
Cinnamon bread" that turned out
more like it could be used for a boat
anchor than to be eaten--yikes!!!
And....
 my longtime favorite Chicken/rice casserole
was just not right either..one ingredient
or another was definitely "off"--or so our
digestive systems told usπŸ‘ΉπŸ˜©πŸ˜±

Here is how I am feeling about 
cooking

This "Far Side" cartoon says it perfectly!!!!!

But.....
my "Sweet Baboo" aka Tom, to the rescue!!!
He will be making his spaghetti and meatballs for
our dinner tonight.
Phew...
I need a break!!!   
[File under: discretion is the better part
of valor!!]

I did get an early birthday present
from him:
πŸ’™πŸ’™This adorable one-cup teapotπŸ’™πŸ’™
I just love blue and white ware...
πŸ’‹πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’‹
Isn't that sweet????

Lucky me, he is always there to
"pick me up" when I need it...

*******************************
I hope you can be out and about today enjoying this
lovely sunny weather...the leaves are starting
to pop-out here and the grass is growing
once again...
Ah....Spring has Sprung at long last...
