I bought a pack of linen and napkins, and started sewing up bags. I found cute Cricut Design Space Sourdough images. My first attempt at applying the cute image resulted in the design being backwards. Not ...

 Add 1/2 cup flour and up to 1/2 cup water.  My instructions from Kensington Flour say, “Say something pleasant to your starter.” As soon as I fed her, I told Cindoughrella that she was doing great and to try to make lots of big bubbles today. 😃 We’ll see how the day goes.
