After making me shower, get dressed, put shoes on, put a coat on, put in earrings, etc., I learned that my Valentine's Date was actually in the living room. My husband had set up a craft and baking date for me. We started out by tie-dying t-shirts. I can't wait for him to wear his purple, red and fuchsia tie dyed shirt out for a night on the town. I always wanted to tie-dye a shirt when I was a kid but I guess I just never got around to it, so this was pretty exciting.

| I know I look 'special' in this picture. |
 |
| Tie-dyeing is serious stuff that requires gloves. |
 |
| The worst part was that we had to wait 8 hours before we could unroll the shirts. |
Then we moved on to the baking portion of the evening. My husband had printed out a recipe for cranberry-orange scones and purchased all the necessary ingredients.
 |
| It's ok to wear a cupcake apron as long as you have a beer in your hand. |
 |
| Another great action photo of me and no, I'm not pouring my glass of wine into the batter |
 |
| He did all the hard stuff. |
 |
| Hobie was little to no help. |
 |
| Fin. These scones were delightful by the way. |
In conclusion....
My husband is a fun craft/baking partner.
Crafting is more fun when you drink wine.
Baking is harder when you bake after crafting with wine.
Baking is easier when someone else measures out all the ingredients for you and just tells you what to do.
Good Date, B! Let's do this again next year.
