Miss You

I can't wait until my older daughter comes home from college. I miss her...and not just because she bakes often ;-) The card above is made using some of the latest Tonic Studios dies.

I did a spot of baking myself yesterday - for my younger daughter's school fair. Nothing too challenging...cranberry rock buns. But they did make the place smell amazing!

We've been doing some more picking and choosing for the new house. I am excited that we have decided to go with air source heat pump for our heating - along with the multi fuel stove. No more oil! Yey!

Well...I must try and clear myself a workspace in the craftroom. I have a table and two desks in there and not one of them has any workspace left on it! Oops!

Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!

"Are you sure we're going to eat that , Mum?"

It's been hectic as usual in the Smith house. I am still chasing my tail trying to get too many jobs done. I thought I'd let you have a glimpse of the cactus in a pot cake I made for my husband's garden themed birthday. It was going to be more of an Aloe Vera plant, but time was running out so I went for the easy option!

(Sorry for the blurry photo. ) The cactus spikes are chocolate vermicelli. The cactus is a blob of fondant icing and the mud is melted chocolate - which in retrospect wasn't a very good idea 'cos it didn't cut neatly - but it tasted good!

Biscuit Bear

It started snowing again today, and my little girl's friend was not able to visit due to the bad weather, so to cheer her up, I read her one of her favourite stories...

...and then we baked and decorated some biscuit bears.
But this little bear does not want to be stuck in the cookie jar...
He's trying to work his way up to the lid...
...on the other hand...this little bear couldn't give two hoots...he has stars in his eyes, and he is dreaming of being discovered.
