KitchenAid Mixer


I always ALWAYS wanted a kitchenaid mixer. My brother-in-law & auntie-in-law gave me one as a wedding present! It was the best wedding gift EVER! I heart my mixer. I use it every time I bake. Which is pretty often :) Thanks Laurie & Mel! Laurie has sampled quite a few of the cakes mixed in my sweet kitchenaid!
I just like it sitting there on my counter top looking good. But this is one dusty ole flat. So I'm wondering if I should maybe make a cover.
This one is just gorgeous!

  
Homemade by Jill 
 Well, Jill made a gorgeous cover, she used a tutorial from About.com

Wow! Here's a serious creative customization from Phantome on Crafster.
and just 'cause....

he must reeeeally love his kitchenaid!

in the kitchen.


these from my in-law's garden and became:




this gooey, spicey wonderfulness!


but sometimes....things don't go so smoothly....





I guess that yeast was really active. the bread is still yummy though.

My reward for scrubbing the kitchen clean for 2 hours yesterday was to use my clean kitchen today! Hopefully Mr Woo will help me keep the kitchen sparkling with our new keep the counters clear routine!
