Looking back on this year in my Instagram pictures I discover that I have not done quite as much craft projects as I would have liked it. I have been busy with other types of life endeavours so it is not that surprising. Nevertheless, I'd like to get better with that in the coming year. I've been looking at some scheduling and life-hacking techniques that will hopefully help me take better control over the way I spend my time. Stay tuned for more on that.
Meanwhile have a look at the craft projects I did work on (and documented):
In this little retrospective exercise, I have also discovered, this time with a smile, that I cooked and baked a nice deal this year. I started baking bread and I do it once a week almost every week. I grew a bit of herbs and I now have frozen oregano ice-cubes in my freezer. And most of all, I've been happily going through the
Scandalicious Baking book, which I can wholeheartedly recommend to any baking-fans. Here are some of my more successful experiments:
 |
| Sourdough bread with mixed seeds |
 |
| Scandalicious Baking: Orange Butter Biscuits |
 |
| Scandalicious Baking: Finish Baked Pancake |
 |
| Scandalicious Baking: Passion Fruit and Lime Custard Birthday Cake |
 |
| Polish Easter Cake: Mazurek |
The herbs, we've been growing. Chili grown by my husband and my oregano, harvested and ready to be chopped and frozen.

Apart from cooking and crafting I have also had a lot of good relaxing moments with my husband, furry beasts and in the nature.

And how about you? Did you have a good, crafting year?

Happy New Year
