Well not long now till 'night of Christmas' I am so looking forward to meeting everyone and catching up with friends on the 4th December. Had a clear out of my storage cupboard to see all the boxes etc; I have bought during the year to put food goodies in - boy o boy have I got alot
to do!!!
Spent this last weekend almond icing my Christmas cakes and rolling lots and lots of truffles.......brandy and prune with dark chocolate and lemon and lime with white chocolate.
Also I made a sugar snap biscuit cookie tree as per photo below. This was to be displayed at one of the houses taking part in the Whangarei Hospice house tours. The glass covered dish it was in was from our local and very awesome shop 'the French Hen' in the Civic Arcade. I also put some detailed edible snowflakes and snowmen around the base that you can't see in the photo these were from Kiwicakes - cake decorating supplies based here in Whangarei.
Well must go and stitch. I have finished making the 'monsta marble bags' and I am now stitching sequin studded silk Christmas trees......K.
I saw the tree on the house tour, it was fab. I would never have thought of the sprinkles around the base like that. Both Ann & I are stealing that idea!. Way cool packaging!. I am going to need to be early
