Upcoming events.
Christmas Open House
Cinnamon Star Bread and Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls are the tasting treats for both days and recipes will be available. If you are here at 11:00 on Friday or Saturday, I will demonstrate how to shape the Cinnamon Star Bread. At 1:00 each day I will demonstrate a few creative gift wrapping techniques using wrapping paper. (I am willing to offer a workshop for either of the bread options if there is interest, so please talk to me if you are interested.)
As always, there will be handmade fabric items available for purchase. The new items this year are; reusable sandwich bags, gift bags of various shapes and sizes, gift card holders, and bowl covers. There will still be the napkins, decorative clean up towels, bowl cozies, shopping bags, and any other mostly fabric items I have had available before. Some of these are pictured above with the Star Bread.
This year giving food as gifts is considerate and practical at a time when we are all feeling the squeeze in our food budgets. Any of these reusable fabric household items make food gifts look extra special when they are added to a gift basket. They also help cut down on use of plastics and disposable items which helps both our budgets and the environment.
