Measuring Spoons
I took a little blogging break, and now - where were we? Themes?Back in the November 29th post, I mentioned using a different theme for each month. For December, I had listed dinner ingredients, labels, bottles and jars. With a theme in mind it is pretty easy to jump-start an idea for a sketch. I was getting out things to see what I need for holiday baking, and I was thinking about the labels on the can of cocoa and the bottle of vanilla. They weren't too interesting, but the measuring spoons caught my eye as a possible sketch. I threw in the sprinkles as an "ingredient" from the theme list.
For fifty some Christmases my mother made a certain kind of cookie with nonpareils, or sprinkles, on them. In November she would start to worry about the stores running out of them. They never did that I know of, but maybe. It does seem like a funny thing to worry about, but I must admit that I checked my supply a couple of weeks ago.
Do you have your sprinkles? Are you going to paint them in your sketchbook?
I think if we live during the depression when there were shortage of many things we would understand our parents fears. I love the colors of your measuring spoons. Cathy
ReplyDeleteCathy - and I must say, in my mother's defense, years ago before there were some really nice grocery stores in town, there actually were shortages of things around the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI love these measuring spoons too - fun to cook with color!
