That is my life,pretty good, but not perfect.Princess and I did somebread baking on Saturday.
The bread we made Thursday was gone and we wanted more.We made the usual recipe,
and then I tried to make a bread dough that I have never tried before.It did not work. Instead I got out the rolling pin and bag of cookie cutters,
and let Princess have at it. We made some cute decorations. I just baked them until they were hard.
We painted them this morning after breakfast.
We did some turkeys
and some snowflakes and some little Christmas shapes. I have no idea what we'll do with them when we are done, but we did have fun.I'm hoping she also learned a couple of good life lessons.
I am not perfect, and sometimes you can
make decorations out of bad dough.
We still have more to do, but once Princess gets her hands covered in paint, she wants a bath.
She spent a good part of the afternoon with my sister while I did laundry and stopped in at the library for some books I had on hold. I will post about my book selections on Tuesday.
On Monday we will be joining Mom Unplugged for her group project.

The decorations came out really nice and Princess did a good job painting. The bread looks great as well did you do it in a bread maker?
We also had a less than ideal baking adventures with a never before tried recipe! I'm glad you were able to make good of your bread - our cookies found their way to our compost pile.
How fun, they turned out really nice too!
P is really talented in the art.
I like that...perfect is over-rated. What fun you are having! The bread looks amazing, and P looks in her element painting!
Wonderful and resourceful. We all need to read lessons in appreciating the imperfect. P can really paint.
BTW, Citcat isn't happy until her hands are covered in paint. It always leaves me a little worried that she will streak through the house making a mess. :)
That bread is making me hungry. What a wonderful way to recycle failed dough. I would not have thought of that! Thanks for the idea!
Nobody's perfect. We pick up the pieces and try to make it work out. I think that is a great lesson.
What a creative way to turn lemons into lemonade. :) I think I would have cried and tossed it in the garbage.
What a wonderful way to learn an important lesson!
Plus, the turkeys are really cute.
