They always bring back memories of my grandma
'Mary Jane'
who made the most perfect cakes....
They never fail to spread some happiness
and are just
too pretty to resist!

Do you have any new projects planned at the moment?
I am testing yarns for my new knitting pattern.
I still have the photographs to take and some more work to do on the text
but I am having great fun in the process and I will
keep you updated on my progress....

It hasn't been a great week in regard to good natural light for my photographs.
Maybe we will be luckier over the next few days
(although, it's not looking too promising in our corner of the
world this afternoon. ...the lights are on!)

You have the prettiest photos on your blog!! They make me smile because the colors are so gentle. Can you give us a hint what your next project is?
ReplyDeleteI agree you have beautiful pictures and one of the prettiest blogs around. The cakes sound delicious but I am a rubbish cook unfortunately. I have just bought a set of Tunisian crochet hooks and want to teach myself how to use them this weekend.
ReplyDeletekind regards,
Shirley
Lovely picture and happy baking! Enjoy your time with your daughter.

The cover looks awesome already!
ReplyDeleteHappy baking, Susan xxx
mmmm love Mary Berry cakes, my Mum used to bake lots from her books. I also love the look of your new nautical project, I've been thinking of creating something for my Dad that loves boats, as we've just had some upsetting news. Love the boat you embroidered. Have a great weekend with the girls, Catherine x
ReplyDeleteHappy baking - nothing's as good as homemade cake and bread! I'm not such a good baker, but will make Tiramisu tomorrow! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're going to have a really lovely weekend, I do wonder which cake you made.
ReplyDeleteI always think of Mary Berry as queen of domesticity. Death By Chocolate...that sounds like quite a pleasant way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteSarahx
I've never heard of Mary Berry, will have to check her out. Hope your weekend was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that's such a pretty cookbook!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling cookbook...I will have to see if I can find that one. Happy Baking...make sure you show us what sweet things you baked!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your family. xoxoxo hugs
I adore all your pretty things...such a sweet tablecloth and dishes.
the cover looks very sweet, a lovely cookbook! And of course a cute photo with the teacups
ReplyDeleteHappy baking

ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering how your baking is going...have you succumbed to Death By Chocolate yet?!!
Sarahx
I haven't succumbed to 'Death by Chocolate' yet but it is certainly on my 'to do' list Sarah!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful start into S*P*R*I*N*G, Susan xxxx
ReplyDeleteI have to look at your blog every day. It just makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, oh you will enjoy the crochet! I am looking forward to the lovely items you will soon be creating.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend,
