Winter Solstice

A short but busy day that will take a long night to actually finish my to-do list.

I woke up deciding to paint, in my pyjamas no less!  I got a coat of yellow on the remodeled clock base and the Rooster will fine tune the hanging bar for the doll clothes and put the feet back on it tonight, I hope.

I tackled that cupboard across from the remodeled clock.  I can't believe I actually did it near that quilt top.  :O  But now I'm thinking I need to do the inside where a shelf will rest in a Robin Egg Blue, which I conveniently have a sample of! But that is for after I get dressed!  lol

I had Jenn for an extra day this week and she brought the makings for shortbread.  I was determined to get my own done before I went back to painting.  I will eat shortbread any time of the year but this 'short' solstice day seems particularly appropriate!  I made a white shortbread that is gluten free and absolutely delicious!  I also like brown sugar shortbread but that recipe needs more 'tweaking' and I am not the kind of creative cook that tweaks so I'll be looking for another recipe.  I had to do the photo in the front room as the kitchen is a disaster with my multi tasking.

The day is shortening so I need to make some long strides to reclaim the kitchen for the Rooster's supper,  cause the sooner he eats the sooner he can shorten his to-do list!  LOL    oops!  The timer is telling me the last pan is ready to come out and I have no where to put it!!!  I'll be down shortly.

sheesh, I think I've nibbled too many short bread cookies!  ROFLOL
