Domesticity...

guenievreSo lately I've been being ridiculously domestic - as in staying home, cooking dinner, etc. I even baked bread last night. (A nifty recipe I found, actually - it's almost as easy as bread machine bread, but not - all the kneading gets done by Kitchenaid, and it's a quick rising recipe so start-to-finish it took about 2 hours. I need to tweak it just a little, as I don't think it rose QUITE enough (the bread is yummy, but a little denser than I would like - really good for sandwiches though. I'll post it once I'm really happy with it...)
Anyway, so this domestic gig is really nice, actually. I'm more content right now than I have been in months...it's odd, because I always believed clutter didn't bother me. But apparently it did...< shrug > I shall stop this train of writing, though, else I'll sound like one of those silly FlyLady testimonials...and, well, no. I think somebody needs to write Flylady for cynics, though, as her system would be REALLY useful if it wasn't drenched in sweetened chicken soup. (No, really, and it's as icky as it sounds...go here if you don't believe me).
Meanwhile, there's lots of stuff I want to do before Coronation - maybe new garb for both of us (we'll see on this one) and a subtlety for the Queen's Tea... oh, and some "fleur de lis" themed stuff for that other competition... the nice thing is, since we've been staying home and the house is clean-ish, this almost sounds feasible... yay sanity.

One of Her Majesty's royal whims is the use of fleur de lis. To further her whim, she is sponsoring a competition for any art featuring the fleur. There is no restriction on medium or time period. Documentation is encouraged but not required.
