Kookies

Another late night birthday cookie session. I really do have to learn to bake and decorate on different days.  I also need to invest in some real piping equipment because spoons and toothpicks just don't cut it. Anyway, I believe having baked cookies twice now shows my true dedication.  I am deserving of a shopping trip for some real tools and equipment don't you think? Happy birthday K.

The sweetest gal ever....

We loved having our beautiful Melburnian friend stay with us on her first visit to RADelaide. I purchased this wool a couple of years ago with the intention of knitting her a Martha Stewart neck scarf and finally got around to finishing one off over the weekend.   Here she is modelling it while enjoying a morning coffee at Delish.  Isn't she just lovely!  Come back soon Ms Walton.

Not my valentine, Paula's!

I forgot to post about my strange valentine.  Paula had decided to bypass the regular valentine gift ritual until I ended up agreeing to purchase a present for her beloved.  I'm still not sure how that happened. But it didn't feel right purchasing a loving gift for someone I didn't know, so the gift cake was born.  This was my first adventure into sugar biscuits and I quite liked it. I have been inspired by Sweet Sugarbelle's  amazing creations but I would need far more practice and better equipment to do anything even near what she creates. Not much room on my list for another craft infatuation. Why oh why do I have to go to work everyday......
