I've been doing a lot of work lately; you know, to do with my Crafty Pegs hobby business. Over the next few months I'm going to be adding on a few new lines for it and to do that I have to look up some non-fiction books to know how to do those things.
For example: I need instructions on how to make dishcloths... but I already know how to knit. So, I've been looking through my stitching books and changing the patterns to match the stitches so the dishcloths look and feel wonderful. Also, I want to sell different styles, sizes and types of stitches in my cloths too.
I'm also getting right into cooking again. So, I've been pulling out my cookbooks from under the sink. Today, I woke up with the worse sinus ever! And it was shopping day... so I went out and bought a huge amount of groceries and now the Slow Cooker has Potato and Leek Soup bubbling away in it! How wonderful is that? I've made my own changes to it and added garlic, basil, parsley and seasoned it too. Now to wait the 6 hours for it to cook! I can't wait to taste it after I blend it with the hand blender.
I do love the How-To books we all seem to collect over time. Which ones do you get your nose into? Mine always have to do with craft or my hands or cooking... what do yours always seem to get you doing? Until my next post, happy reading!
