Oh the cleverness of me...

So I get creative urges every so often. Usually I want to sew things like this, but I don't like spending more than $2 on a pattern. Patterns go on sale at least monthly where I live, so it seems silly to spend $10+ for a pattern that will be $1-2 in a couple of days. Lucky me. Patterns don't go on sale until tomorrow, so I have been sitting on a creative idea for two days with no outlet in sight.
Today, I snapped.
"If I can't sew, why I'll bake!" I thought.
I've had a pound of butter in the refrigerator for about a month now, just begging to be turned into croissants. Today I broke down and got my "mis en place" in place and got to work. Yum! I hope they work out.
If you haven't made croissants from scratch yet, you should know they aren't difficult. They just take all day.
And you can't cut corners. Much.
I'll let you know if my corners were ones that can be cut. Stay tuned!
