New projects I've tried lately...
I had always steered away from orchids. After long consideration, I decided to give it a try and last summer I adopted one. It had beautiful blooms that lasted for several months, but then the blooms started to fall off.
Oh, no!!!
I quickly checked the 'net' and found that was exactly what they were supposed to do. What was I supposed to do? Just trim back the stem and wait...
That waiting was the hard part, but I did it and just this week, BUDS!
I'm very excited to see these open and am patiently waiting for more buds to be added as the stem grows.
BREAD PUDDING
This is Bo's favorite of any and ALL of the projects/crafts/cooking I have ever done...

| The bread (Panettone) soaking up the custard. |

| Left w/Amaretto. Right w/Brown Sugar |

| Fresh n Hot out of the oven. |
BABY LEGS
The next new endeavor as Laura G's fault. I would have never heard of, let alone made, a pair of 'baby legs' if she hadn't posted a link to a tutorial. It intrigued me and also looked like something my sewing machine and I could do. I decided to give it a shot and thought they turned out well.
Unfortunately, I took no photos, so unless the young lady who received them posts a pic... well, you'll just have to believe me on the result.
The next 'new interest' can be credited to all the friends that encouraged me to sign in to "Pinterest".
Thanks guys!

what will Sheila do with ya'll?
I have lots of bits and pieces of glassware wiling away its time in the dark confines of my cabinets. So I was please to find - again on Pinterest - an idea for putting them to use and freeing up some storage space...
