Should I actually acuire any of these items, I will cross them off the list, but leave the link live. I would give myself a deadline to cross everything off my list, but I am sure I will continue to add to this list over time.
Have a great idea of something that should be on this list? Please let me know here.
For the kitchen:
- Food From My Frontier - the Pioneer Woman's second cook book! I need this book. I cannot live without this book. Cannot.wait.for.this.book.
Dutch Oven - I covet the Le Crueset 8 qt oval enameled cast iron french oven. Gosh, but they are expensive. Hovever, my completely unselfish observation is that my family deserves to be fed out of one of these. No?
Large Fiesta Disc Pitcher - Turquoise? or Peacock? or Scarlet (shown)? or Lemon Grass? They are all so gorgeous! I may have to have more than one. *grin*
12" Round Cake Stand - Why do I not already have one of these? Your cakes, cupcakes, muffins, squares just never looked better than when served on one of these!
-
Silicone Baking Mat (or 2 or 3) - I have no idea why I don't already have some of these, but no baker should be without them. =)
Square Serveware - I have been really drawn to simple white square serveware for quite awhile. But thanks to PW's post about these babies, I hadn't really thought I could afford to replace my current mish-mosh mess. And BONUS - these are oven-to-table! Why isn't there more serveware like that?

- Cookbooks - I have a long list of cookbooks that I would like. But, I mostly want Mastering the Art of French Cooking, pretty much any of Ina Gartner's books and because I have a bit of a chef crush on him, Bobby Flay;s Bar Americian Cookbook. OR... even better... a Kindle Fire loaded with all the cookbooks it can handle!
Kitchen Torch - Yes! I must torch things. Specifically, wonderful, delightful, mouth watering, crunchy, sweet, delectable, amazing, taste-gasmic and yummy creme brulees.
Ramekins-every cook should have some. You can use them for individual servings of desserts or bubbly baked dishes, for ingredient prep, or even as extra large muffin cups
Serving Bowls- ... that double as mixing bowls. Yes these sturdy bowls are functional and pretty.- post note - I ended up getting some that are also oven safe. Not quite as esthetically pleasing to me, but practical!
Ceramic 3-QT Baking Dish- great lasagna deserves to be served from one of these beauties.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks Cookbook- Drool! Not only are the recipes divine, but the photography is beautiful. Yes Please!!!
For the Craft Room:
side note: I don't actually have a craft room. It is really just my kitchen table on the rare occassion that I have all household chores and errands done and can take over the kitchen table for a couple days. *sigh* Maybe I should add "craft room" to this list.

Diecutting Machine - a Cricut or comparible, I'm not picky. Every paper crafter who doesn't have one, wants one. Every paper crafter who has one, needs more accessories for it. =)
Sewing Machine - I like this one... but I would settle for any dependable brand with most of these features. ;)
For the Never-Leave-Home-Without-One: - dSLR - Canon digital SLR baby! Yes please!
Kindle Fire - oh yes... to have books, movies, games and email at my finger tips.. Weeeeeeeeee! And I am giddy at the thought of all the cookbooks it could hold! Please, oh, please someone tell my husband!!
For Belly Dance:
- Pretty New Costume - because a belly dancer can never have too many costumes or too much bling!
