Pretty dishes


CAKES SAMPLED DISHES DONE.

Baking day


I love to bake on a cold day, it really warms you up and the kitchen takes on that gorgeous homely smell. I baked banana cakes and walnut and date rolls today. Will put nice lemon icing on the banana cakes and lovely fresh best butter on the roll. YUM

fiddley bits day



Today I felt like just fiddling about with bits and pieces trying to use up the mountain of things in my sewing room. I used up a few little doilies that someone had given to me by turning them into milk jug covers. They make excellent little gifts when wrapped up with a little vintage milk jug.
