Hello Sweet Friends....I have not posted for several days.....I have been so lazy and not terribly motivated. Sleeping late, going back to bed earlier than usual. It feels so good to snuggle under the covers and just let the wind blow and the snow fall! I know this is very sloth like behavior, but I do not feel guilty...I have needed some rest. Last year was brutal at times and the rest is so healing....
I have not been completely idle, though...I have been faux baking...that is always so relaxing and delicious fun...



Making pillows...

SOLD

And here is a two cup teapot with cozy, coaster and tea wallet full of delicious teas...
all of which can be seen on my website Hope you will come by for a peek...


Wishing you all happy and cozy winter days!

~Pastry Stand With Faux Cake~Fresh Out Of The Oven~

Here is what I have been doing the last few days....I love it as I think of it as "therapy" for getting away from the mundane of everyday....And, you should see the kitchen....it is as messy as if I were really baking!!! lol!




I found some dessert or pastry stands with the cloche lids a while ago and the weather has cooled off so I could finally do some faux baking....If it is hot with the humidity we have here so close to the lake, it takes forever for them to set up, so I wait for the cool days....I don't like to put them in the oven as they just form up nicer if air dried.

I love making the clay roses and I think these turned out pretty....I have been making them in the evening as I find it so relaxing....
This Pastry Stand comes with the piece of cake and can be found on my website.

The piece of cake on the sweet little dessert can also be found on my website..perfect for so many places in the Cottage home and a wonderful little gift for someone special...




Back to baking....
Sugary Hugs,
Jil
