Should I be trying to make Sour Dough Bread?

We all have so much going on this busy Holiday season so why in the world do I always try to cram in one more thing. I mean I think I might be a little crazy trying my hand at baking bread when I have crafts that need to get done and presents that need to be wrapped. But whatever I have this wonderful starter in my fridge:

And that's the best part of this process... The worst part is all the calculating:

I did my best and then inprovised...

My mixer came in handy but I do have a huge mess on my hands... flour everywhere!

And it's supposed to have this elastic feel to it, but mine... well you can see it's not! The only reason I have time to write this post is that it's supposed to rest for 10 minutes - 4 times between extra pulling and folding (well that's what you're supposed to do) but I'm just sort folding.

Then it rests in a bowl in the fridge until tomorrow... I hope things are better then! Because I have a pile of Ribbon...

And presents to wrap....

I must say if I hadn't fit Yoga in this AM, I wouldn't be nearly so calm!

Are you fitting in too much this Season!

Enjoy it All!

Baking Cookies with Tuesday...

Nothing is quite as fun as baking cookies with Tuesday! She has her own way of prepping the dough...

While it's fun to decorate the Sugar Cookies... It's even more fun to play with the sprinkles!

But then again it's pretty fun to pour the sprinkles...

But seriously the sweetest thing was when she folded the arms of the Gingerbread Girls, just so they could hug!

Who are you baking with this season?

Projects Complete...

You may have seen these Halloween projects as I featured it in the Ribbon Jar Newsletter. I made them early this morning after my original post. They seriously took less than two hours start to finish for both!
