Birthday Cake and Flowers
Posted on | January 30, 2009 | 6 Comments
This afternoon I made a cake for my boyfriend’s birthday. The cake turned out perfectly. Usually I have a hard time with the buttercream frosting. The frosting sometimes isn’t thick enough and slides off the cake. Not this time! I had a perfectly baked even cakes and a nice stiff chocolaty frosting. I can’t wait to try it. I bought a few flowers at the grocery store to entertain myself while the cake baked. To view more photos just visit my flickr photostream.
p.s. I will do my weekly round up of posts later tonight.
Cross Stitch and Embroidery
Posted on | January 30, 2009 | 1 Comment
Cross stitch and embroidery seems to making a huge comeback. Maybe as the economy continues down into the total shitter the trend towards handmade goods will continue. I know I will spending a lot more time at home; baking, gardening, and making crafts. Maybe cross stitch would be something fun to pick up? Here are just a few of my favorite cross stitch artists above and below.
