This. That.

I'm back to baking bread!  It's been a number of years  since I laid my hands into fresh stirred dough.

There was nothing like the smell of baking bread!  The house was filled with the aroma!  My dad worked at Rainbow Bread (e.g. Holsum, etc.)  We had loaves of bread every day!  Sometimes, on his way home, he would pick up a fresh loaf, unscliced, from the line.

Today, you can find baked goods everywhere!  Every grocery chain has their own bakery; small bakeries have popped up here and there.  It is so easy to find a baked loaf of bread.

But, there is nothing like making your own loaf of bread!

Today when I place the bread to rise, I have my handwoven bread cloth to cover the fresh dough.

this one was a practice cloth to learn different edgings or designs.  This is linen fabric which washes well.

Found this on Ravelry—Bread Science combined with sock knitting!! Could not resist!!  Recipes for both!!

Finally!! My Espinner found the light of day!  It has been resting in the closet since I ordered it two years ago.  I did try it one time and back it went to its resting place.  I have two hanks of hand dyed silk to spin.  I have spent time with my drop spindle when I travel but there is no reason why this little spinner can't be used on traveling trips.  I think I will find a battery pack; then it could even be used in the car!  

I can see it now!  Lot more accomplished as we travel the roads across the country===or spinning at a ballgame, watching television.  Maybe, I could listen to a book too!
