failure is always an option - day 2

I know it's only the second day, but I was amazed by how much I was able to accomplish today. Most of it was just the day-to-day stuff that has to be done anyhow, but which I've been so good at putting off til "later"...

Sunday evening, as I often do, I put a batch of porridge in the crockpot to cook overnight. Most unusually (and probably because I'd also made muffins that evening) the kids didn't eat *any* of it on Monday morning. So there I was, with a whole pot full of porridge. I was certainly not prepared to eat it all myself, so I added the entire mass of it to a batch of bread. Oh. my. gosh. so. good.

I also got started on a wee Valentine's Day project. These are pages from a catalog (Toast, in case you're wondering - it's got gorgeous photos!) that I ripped out, and gessoed (both sides) and painted.
