CHRISTMAS MAKES AND BAKES.....
Hellooooo ArtyAdventers! I have been neglecting you!
Thank you for your kind messages that you sent in the absence of ArtyAdvent. Fortunately I didn't meet an apocalyptic end on Friday, although there's probably still time yet! I did eat far too much cake and mince pies, just in case The End came........and fortunately The End didn't come.
So - where the hell have I been, you ask! Well........I have been very very busy trying to finish off, and actually, start from the very beginning and finish, the Christmas gifts I've been making. O yes, why be prepared when you can leave it all to the last minute and have a whole load of stress. O yes indeedy, it just wouldn't do to have had everything made gradually, in a more gentile atmosphere, free of stress, a few months ago. Hell no. So I've been partaking in some extreme sewing, painting, drawing and quilting.
And I have to say, it's not like you see on the santa films - all the wee elves going into overdrive to get all the christmas toys made! That's all just made up nonsense. It's not real.
I am all the elves. It's just me!
But what IS true of course, is that all elfs need fuel to frantically make all these lovely makes! And so, today's ArtyAdvent is a HUGE slice of cake. Which I made myself.
There was a bit more of it earlier.............some of it appears to have disappeared! I presume so that you could all see better my lovely granny plate! I do love a lovely granny plate. They look so good with an almighty chunk of cake on them!
And of course, no ArtyAdvent would be the same without a close-up:
What a splendid continental shelf sized cake this is! It calls to me.........come eat me..........I'm delicious..............eat me eat me eat me........You can see that I've aleady given in to temptation! And I can't concentrate on all the extreme and rapid fire sewing and painting and drawing and quilting and so I have to go and eat some more cake.
I hope whatever you do today you get some time to eat some cake and relax. Even if, like me, it's in between frantic creativity!
I will post pictures of all the makes after Christmas, so as not to spoil the surprises! There won't be an ArtyAdvent tomorrow but I will be back at the end of the week with pictures of the Christmas Makes for you to see.
I wish you all a very merry, peaceful and joyous christmas, folks.
Wendy
