Busy, Busy, Busy!

Today started early, paused for a nap, then busy, busy, busy once more!

First up: China Cabinet!

Woo hoo! I've wanted one of these babies for years. Unfortunately, they are usually really expensive. I found this one yesterday at a rummage sale. She took the price I offered, and there went my birthday money from my awesome mom  :D  (Last year my birthday money went toward skydiving. The year before that, a tattoo. Needless to say, my mom was very much more pleased with this year's spend, hehe.) 

Once the thing was wrestled into the house (thanks to the Amazing Andy! So far he's received a piece of cheesecake and two small banana trees for his efforts, with promise of dinner another time. He brought avocados. We're going to keep trading, I think, lol), it had to be set and cleaned.

And then of course, stuff put in it. As if I needed any more proof that I am an old lady:

I've been wanting a place to put my teapots for years, and my inheritance from my Granny. It's not nearly as full as it could be, which is just... hehe. Something I'll have to take care of now, won't I?  ;-)






But that's not all to this productive day! Keep going...





I finally made the pumpkin bread from the recipe that my sister put on her blog (Here's the link to her recipe. It's awesome! http://www.caleyskitchengarden.com/2013/10/pumpkin-bread-pumpkin-muffins-pumpkin.html )

And as if *that* wasn't enough, I got in the mood for some hush puppies. That necessitated a trip to the grocery, even, but I got 'em made. Here they are:

Yum! Gonna munch some, then freeze some and see how they hold up in the freezer.

But dang am I tired now, go figure, lol. Still, it's a great feeling to do stuff, and get it going. I'm on a roll - let's see what tomorrow brings, ha ha!

Thanks!
