Cheryl's Garden

Ok, so maybe not completely unmotivated tonight but don’t really feel like cleaning house for a late Christmas celebration which is weird because I’m the one who suggested celebrating this weekend. All week I was really chipper until today when I decided I didn’t get enough sleep yesterday or something. grr.

Most of my day was looking into prices for ingredients for solid balms that I read about and LOVE from Amber’s Ambry. I have about 5 different sents from her in these cute little tins and I’m sooo excited that she’s sharing because my feet absolutely LOVE!!! this balm.

Anyway, off to more cleaning before I get too tired to do anything. I’ll leave you with a pic of my new Le Crueuset dutch oven.

Ok, so I’m trying to blog more. Two things I’m learning about lately, baking/cooking and spinning.

Today I was reading a about spinning in a new book I bought, Start Spinning by Maggie Casey. With only one spinning class behind me I have a lot to learn. Back in October I bought a spinning wheel that isn’t one of the big brands so help manuals are sparse. Tension was a bit of a problem so I’m going to read this book first and maybe start with a drop spindle again.

Cooking is also going slow. Friday I had a burst of energy after work and “attempted” soup that turned into more of a flavored rice. Oh well. At least the pre-packaged oat meal cookies with chocolate chips turned out well.
