After the Storm

School is out and all the gift giving, baking and applauding is done! Unfortunately there is still is a lot to do around here, but I hope, that things return to normal soon. ( As normal as life can be with three kids out of school, that is.)

I have already dyed some silk yarn and just had an idea for a new colourway, so you can expect an update in my store soon. Thank you for your patience!

It is all blurry now!

We interrupt the unscheduled hiatus

to give you a photo of a cute little berry thief:

I hope, it will tie you over and distract you from my serious lack of blogging lately. The truth is I am simply overwhelmed by all that is required for this ending school year. There is also a bit of crafting involved which I will show you once it is finished. The other skill that is called for apparently is baking. Yesterday they were asking for 250 cookies and today 240 for another event. ( My contribution: old, trusty chocolate chip.

Never mind. If you are in need of some cupcakes I can recommend this recipe. Instead of the icing in the recipe I mixed powdered sugar with cream and crowned it with one smarties (or is it smarty, or smartie?) I tested it on a bunch of teenaged girls and my own kids. They all approved. There were only very small crumbs left.

Well, thank you for your understanding and I apologize in advance for any hysterical laughter or sudden tears that I might burst out with in the near future.
