Get Woodworking Plans : bread

Hello! My hubby was looking through our local metal scrap yard a couple of weeks ago, with permission of course, and came across a couple of old rusty industrial bread pans. I loved the old patina they had. They were lovely and since I also make bread boards and love baking bread, I thought they couldnt be more perfect for our kitchen.

Ive never really blogged about this little cabinet before so I thought I would now. A couple of years ago we were out for one of our summer bike rides and came across a yard sale. There were only a couple of things left, one of them being this cabinet. It was filthy and yellow and definitely needed a makeover. It was only $15 so we couldnt pass it up. I cleaned it up, painted it white and added crown molding to the top. I usually use it to store my spices, flours and pasta, but decided to give it a little better organizing and put a few of my favorite things in it for display as well.

I put some of our long bread boards in the bottom, along with an industrial rolling pin my hubby found and a bread basket.

I love the way it turned out!

See you next time! Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Take care,
Diana

White Chocolate Apricot Bread

Diposting oleh bian di 06.50 Label: apricot, bread, chocolate, white, Woodworking

I have absolutely enjoyed reading about your favorite breads on my giveaway post and how they evoke cooking memories with your family. Making memories in the kitchen is so much fun and its amazing how much the smell of baking bread can bring back those memories.

That said, all the bread talk made me seriously hungry and gave me a mad craving for some. One of you mentioned a white chocolate cherry bread and the sound of that had me running to the nearest grocery store for the ingredients to make one for myself.

Only I didnt use cherries, I used dried apricots because I love their texture in bread. I used the Better Homes and Garden recipe and left out the nuts as my family doesnt like them.

I cant even begin to tell you how good this bread is. Besides the chewy sweet tart apricots, there are little pockets of lovely melted white chocolate that pairs perfectly with the chewy apricots and the sweet bread. But it isnt too sweet, its perfect, I promise. And the crispy, almost caramelized edges push it right over the top. This bread is so good and if I could, I would send you all a slice of it.

I am working on a really fun project right now and cant wait to share. Its huge and Ive run into difficulties but it involves a very cool huge vintage sign that my hubby found buried in dirt in a barn. So. Cool!!! Stay tuned!

Make this bread.........and thank you for all the lovely comments on the giveaway.

I smiled at every one of them.

P.S. Remember the giveaway ends Thursday night so if you havent left a comment on that post, you still have time to do so! :)

Engraved Bread Boards For You

Diposting oleh bian di 22.48 Label: boards, bread, engraved, for, Woodworking, you

Hey there! I hope you are all having a good day.

I was so excited after reading the comments on this post because thanks to readers Michelle and Marci, I learned what these were.

My hubby found just these few in a storage shed he bought the contents of.

So, because of their help, I was able to purchase a full set.

Which means that now I can engrave my bread boards! Yay! Im so excited about doing this because I think being able to personalize them for you makes them extra special.

I practiced on a few to show you how they look. The letters punched are 1/4 inch and

fit the side of the board perfectly. Engraving will only be done on one side.

Heres a look at how they look on the maple and walnut boards.

I just used the word EAT as an example. You can have anything put on the boards that youd like, up to 10 characters. For FREE. There will be no extra charge for adding the engraving to the side of the board.

We came across a piece of cherry wood in among all the walnut. Cherry was my Dads very favorite wood so I made a board for me in his honor with his name on it.

I know he wouldve loved it.

It would be fun to have each persons name in the family engraved on a set of mini bread boards. Im going to do that for my family boards.

Click here to order bread boards. If you are interested in having them engraved, just state what you would like on them in the NOTE TO SELLER box when placing your order. I can also do numbers, or numbers and letters together, if interested as long as it is

up to 10 characters TOTAL.

Enjoy your day!

And thank you Michelle and Marci! :)

New Mini Bread Boards Limited Supply

Diposting oleh bian di 11.51 Label: boards, bread, limited, mini, new, supply, Woodworking

Hey there! Hope everyone is having a good summer week. Ive been working like crazy to get more bread boards in my shop. Ive gotten kinda lazy about it and started receiving many emails asking if more were coming. So, Ive come up with something that Im really proud of.

Now let me back up a bit. Several months ago a friend of ours gave us a truck load full of walnut from trees that were on his property. It was gorgeous but at the time I was so busy, I just put it in storage and kinda forgot about it. Around that same time my hubby came home with these.

I really didnt know what they were but from the looks of them, they were what I had been looking for as far as my bread boards were concerned. They seem to be some type of branding iron tool, alphabet punch thingamajig. Only problem was this was all there was. Only a few letters.

Fast forward to now. During the time that Ive been making these bread boards, Ive had lots of people request them to be in walnut instead of maple. So, I decided to offer both my original set and french set of mini bread boards in walnut.

These will only be available for a limited time as when I run out of my walnut, they will be gone. Of course, I will always still have them available in maple.

And the special touch that I added to each board with the iron tools is this.

It is the word "YOU" and I put it there because I thought it was perfect since each board is for an individual special person. I was lucky that out of the few letters I had, I was able to come up with this word. I burned it into the wood by heating up the iron tools. It is very subtle but I think, pretty special.

I also brought back my medium walnut board that I had available during Christmas, also with an engraving, but instead of "YOU", Ive engraved the word "ONE" because it is a single board and not part of a set. Not everyone may agree, but I think its a neat touch.

As well as my long rustic walnut board.

And Ive listed a special set of my french set in walnut as well.

This is the set that is part of my giveaway. So, it will be available for a limited time in my shop as well.

So, if you are interested in any of these things, click here to head on over to my shop. Ive also listed more maple mini sets for all those that have asked.

Remember, the WALNUT MINI SETS are only going to be available for a very short time. When I run out of this walnut, thats it. I will however still continue to offer the large and medium walnut single bread boards as well as my maple mini bread board sets.

Have a great day!

Diana
