Nurse, Potter, Weaver, Baker….

Posted on January 25, 2014 by | Comments Off on Nurse, Potter, Weaver, Baker….

I am determined to not skip a month on this blog...so here is what I have been up to.

Greg slipped on the ice 2 weeks ago which resulted in a broken knee and wrist.  No weight bearing for at least 6 weeks so my nursing chores have been the priority.



But January is also the annual Empty Bowl event for Empower House.  In the past I have managed 100 but this year with life, 26 will have to do.







Then of course it wouldn't be winter without a little of the white stuff.  We only have 2 or 3 inches but the cold reminds me of my high school years in Iowa.  Poor Layla loves the snow but the cold is just too much for her.  I have had to carry her in two mornings when her knees gave out.  She will be 13 next month! Once it warms up she will be moving much better.


Cold weather means COOKIES.


And of course with a laid up husband, weaving in the same room is the best option.


I have pottery orders to fill.  I am hoping that next week once Greg and I have a rythmn set I can go out back to the studio for 1-2 hour sessions.  Maybe a baby monitor is the answer?

Stay warm everyone!

C is for Cookie

I never used to bake chocolate chip cookies because it was something special between Dan and his dad. Now that Keith’s gone, it falls to me and his window kindly sent me a copy of his recipe.

Keith’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup melted butter

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups Nestle chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts

Mix together sugars and butter until well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and then beat into wet mixture just until combined. Fold in chips and nuts. Bake at 375F for 12 minutes or until just beginning to brown around the edges.
