Afraid to get started!

So, I purchased my first can of Kilz today, & my first can of Rustoleum....Espresso. A difficult decision. When I get the nerve to paint everything, I think I will start with the ugly purple end tables. When I get the nerve...

One. Etsy. Delivery. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhh.

My beautiful fabric, "Summer Song" by Riley Blake Designs arrived today. Total Bliss.

I did it! Look! My TITLE line is back!

But I still cannot figure how my posting/comment line made its way to the top of my posts...anyone???any smarty pants out there???

Inspired by Ms. Cupcake & her strawberry delights the other day, so I took a page from her book & I decided to do the same. Fresh baked strawberry muffins. (I'm telling the hubby that I fresh baked them for HIM & will have a pot of coffee waiting for him when he gets home from work....tadaaaaaaaa! super wife) I will share my recipe with you...



•2 cups flour
•3 1/2-teaspoons baking powder
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
•1 egg
•1 cup milk
•1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted, cooled butter
•1 teaspoon vanilla
•1 cup chopped strawberries
•1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 12-cup muffin pan. Combine dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup sugar with a wire whisk. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients, egg, oil and extract. Add strawberries. Combine wet and dry ingredients only until moistened. Spoon batter* into muffin cups. Combine remaining sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over batter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

I have to sample of course before Mr. Rocketgirl gets home....deelightful! Enjoy!

WOE is me...I kid. I'm bored.  I am notorious for saying....just one more day off! But I am BORED! I do not like being on WCB sam I am! You see there is PLENTY for me to do around here! Furniture to refinish...sewing...housework/renos, but the mean mean physio lady says absolutely not. Ok, she's not mean, but I am not pleased.  Not allowed to do anything, no work, no fun, lotsa pain. HMMMMPH. 

Today I went to physio...watched some TV...stared at the wall...joking.  I was able to pay a little visit to the best little boutique/antique shop in abbotsford!!! (click link to see!) and I got to laze in the sun in Ms. C's backyard while she painted & refinished a chair...a lovely afternoon indeed.

Topping the night off with some pain pills, A535, the best pizza in town, a beer...(EPIPHANY) and thinking calm & easy baby thoughts to a friend in labour!
