My Diary of Days

 My Diary of What I've Been Doing

Hi everyone!  You may recognize the flowers above and the pitcher. I think I wrote about them in my last post. They are still looking good going on three weeks later! I have pulled out any blooms that were spent and moved the flowers into my smaller Longaberger pitcher. They are still gracing the foyer table and I enjoy them so much! I really got my money's worth out of these flowers!

I've been on a banana nut bread baking kick lately. We always have a couple bananas that are past their time and they work well to make banana nut bread. I have adapted a Betty Crocker Cookbook recipe to my liking by replacing sugar with honey and using applesauce rather than any oil. I also sometimes use part whole wheat flour mixed with white flour. The resulting bread is moist and flavorful and The Mr. especially enjoys the bread. 

I love that I have my Mom's original bread baking pans and I use them to bake this bread. It's a connection to my Mom that I treasure. 

 

And, of course, I've been doing some sewing for Barbie! Since we are getting close to Fall, I wanted an Autumn dress for my Spring Petals Barbie. I bought this fabric awhile back knowing that I would use it for a Fall dress for one of my dolls. It turned out pretty well and she looks pretty wearing it. Luckily, a friend gifted me with several pairs of Barbie shoes and these brown/gold shoes look great with the dress! A girl needs her accessories, right?!

What has been happening in your diary of days?

Until Next Time,
