Sunshine for the Laundry Room


Kind of like I wanna have a green thumb,
I also wanna be a seamstress. ;-)
I'm far from it, but I did get out my sewing machine last week 
and worked on some sunny yellow gingham curtains for my laundry room. 


I have to use my little instructional cd that came with my sewing machine every time I get it out.
Every. Time. 


I really had to laugh when I looked at my fabric!
July 11th 2014.
I had bought it two summers ago planning to make curtains for the laundry room. 


I thought a little curtain over my laundry supply shelf
would bring some sunshine into the room. 


I also replaced the brown curtain I had on the laundry room back door
with a matching yellow one.


They're certainly not perfect, but I like them! 

*Really* Simple Granola

I'm an oatmeal girl.  
95% of the time, my weekday breakfast consists of either 
hot oatmeal, overnight oats, or granola.


I have several good granola recipes -


But I was wanting to find a really simple granola recipe, 
even more simple than my simple granola. :-)


And this is it!

To make 8, 1/2 cup servings - 

combine 1/2 cup raw honey in 1/4 cup hot water
add a teaspoon of vanilla, a sprinkle of cinnamon, 4 cups of old fashioned oats and mix well
bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking time

That's all!  Enjoy!
