Rejuvenation

Signs of spring.


Spring has also meant renewed energy and motivation. Here are some of the bread bags I'd been thinking about making for ages. The batard bags (above) were fashioned from old 'calendar' tea towels found at my local thrift store. I love that rooster!
The square linen bag (below) is a mock-up for large, round loaves, like a boule (sp?). It has a fold-over flap kinda like plastic sandwich bags. I can see making a few of these and block-printing some nice imagery on them... they'll make great gifts with a fresh loaf of bread inside. or maybe a good product for the farmer's marker. Hmmmm.
Oh, and Happy St. Patrick's Day. Yesterday was my two-year blog anniversary, and this is my 250th post!! How to celebrate?
Cleaning up my back yard to prep for planting (the melting snow has revealed a lot of ack!), or playing hooky and having a studio day? It's half over, so I'd better make a choice. Whatever I wind up doing will certainly involve some fresh Irish soda bread!
