I Would Like To

       I would like to bake one day soon, all day long, using my Kitchenaid mixer that makes me feel authoritative and cookish and invincible. How can something not turn out well when it has been blended in this?

       I would like to give baked goods as Christmas gifts to friends instead of other kinds of gifts. 

       I would like to have a day of baking amnesty where calories don’t count.  In fact, I would like a week (or month) of amnesty.

       I would like to do something with this.

      I would like to bleach green bottle brush trees to then sprinkle with glitter and adorn with tiny ornaments, but I have been unable to find packages of bottle brush trees.

      I would like to learn to knit using this vintage booklet that belonged to my mother. I can crochet, but I can not knit. I want to have two creating utensils moving and clicking instead of one.

      I would like someone in my family to shell all of these pecans, home-grown and harvested from my father’s pecan grove, waiting for Thanksgiving.

       And finally, I would like to make my own potpourri.  I want it to be as fragrant as the potpourri I bought in Canton ( that is currently on sale at the Nutcracker Market in Houston- that I am not attending).  It is all orange and spice and wonderful.

I am joining Wordful Wednesday at Angie’s Circus today and White Wednesday at Faded Charm Cottage.
