Working speedily along with these pink yarns. Cotton and silks. I watched the movie, Pretty in Pink, recently (gosh, it made me feel so old) so clearly I had to name this project by that name.
Then I was awestruck with Tania Gray's Printemps Shawl pattern. Oh. My. I can't tell you how many times I have drooled stared at this one and finally decided on some yarn in the stash for it and gave it a go yesterday before making dinner. Even though I'll probably be 80 when I finish it, it will be worth it.
Tomorrow is May!! I don't know about you but this beginning of the year has flown by. Wasn't it just Valentine's Day? My kiddos will be on summer break before I know it ... I've a lot of counting rows in silence before then. Ha!

Fixed this for my bible study group today and if you like Nutella, then you must make it. It is amazing. Oh wow. Soooooooo simple to prepare and it is beyond words kinda-good.
OVERNIGHT NUTELLA FRENCH TOAST
6 eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 loaf Challah
Nutella
butter
Lightly grease a 9X13 pyrex dish with Pam spray. Pour maple syrup on bottom and swirl around to coat.
In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla until a little frothy and set aside.
Generously smear slices of Challah bread with Nutella and top with another slice each to make five sandwiches. Cut each in quarters or sizes to your liking. Soak each piece in the custard mixture, flipping to coat evenly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Pour the rest of the custard mixture over the top and dot the top with a few pieces of butter.
Refrigerate overnight.
Bake at 365 degrees for 35-40 minutes. (Mine cooked 40 minutes. Recipe idea from Pinterest!
