silk flower arrangement craft sale results

Craft day at the armoury was more of a yard sale day so people were browsing more than buying but inquiring about floral arrangements and courses. The best selling item was homemade fudge.

Ready for the craft sale

I prepared these silk flower vase arrangements for a one day craft sale at a the local armoury. This video shows the many possibilities of arrangements that can be had by mixing these easy to make silk tubing flowers and some leaves or other greenery taken from old floral arrangements that you may have had lying around.

There is no comment in the video. The music is nice and relaxing. Just sit back and relax and enjoy.

She uses one of her Gramma's old fashioned bread recipes which is where she learn to cook bread in the first place.

Baking bread is an art and there is an old wives tale that goes that on a good emotional day your bread will rise better than when your mood is down.

Baking homestyle bread takes patience but the time spent at this bread baking craft more than pays for itself. A home that carries the odor of fermenting yeast and of freshly cooked food is inviting and welcoming.

The following video is a quick tutorial on baking homestyle bread.





Good Luck and be kind to your creation and remember that each bread is unique and is a bit different than the other.

By the way this type of antique bread was once baked in outdoor ovens.

I came across a great website with tons of information on traditional outdoor ovens which i think is worth a look at.

I have also put a permanent link on the sidebar to that site.
