Christmas post..

This is my last post before the holidays. The family are all gathering in a couple of days and I have the usual housework to do, but I also have Christmas cards to write and post (by hand). I haven't started my Christmas baking yet, that's on the agenda for Wednesday, and the presents are still waiting to be wrapped. It'll all be finished in time, I'm sure.
These are some more new cupcakes which I've been working on...

..... these are now available in my Ebay shop.
I've also made these.......

...... they are sold, I'm afraid, but there will be more soon, and some more new designs.
I have also been working on some more mice sets and mixed tarts in another selection.
I did manage to finish all my Christmas cards, here's a quick look...

.... not the best of photos, the weather was so dull and dreary when I took them....

.... I used inks and chalks in the most subtle of colours, a change from what I normally do, some of my favourite rubber stamps, and not to forget some wonderful words from the Bard himself, thank you, kind sir!......


My Folksy shop is now closed until after the holidays, and I have just three items left for sale on Ebay.
Do have a lovely holiday, and as William Shakespeare said....

Merry Christmas xx

Spring flower cupcakes!

I now have some new pretty flower topped cupcakes available, and here they are....

.... yes I know we're in the "depths" of winter, especially with all this snow, but I have all these beautiful pastel coloured yarns and it's so easy to veer off from all the Christmas colours which I've been using just lately. All my Christmas orders have been finished, unless I receive any more, I can now make a start on my new designs.
I have cupcakes of the real kind to make now, the oven is on ready, the ingredients are out. What a lovely way to spend a freezing afternoon in December. I wouldn't change it for anything!
