I've been meaning to write a new blog for a long time.
But I didn't have much to say. Life is good. Calm.
Now that the Little Mr. is in school it's easier for me to organize my time. I clean and work mostly while he's gone so I can spend the afternoons with him. And that's pretty much it.

As for work...



I finished a mini-hat. Haven't made one in more than a year, and even is this isn't my usual hat (it's more of a miniature) it looks good enough.
Sorry for the bad picture, but my phone camera makes no miracles.
Whenever I look at it, I think of Emanuelle. She once made a fascinator she swore she'd never be able to sell. Now it's my turn: I really doubt I'll be able to sell this one.




These ended up like bracelets.



These were turned into necklaces.

(Yes, they're all Snitches. You know I'm a Pottard. )

I worked a lot and really fast (which I shouldn't, given my nickel allergy) because I was having a booth at some event with Emanuelle. In the end we didn't make it, so all of that (and a lot more) is stocked for the moment.
But it's OK. We'll make it next time.



I also made some cupcakes for Easter.
The bottom is coconut and the frosting is white chocolate ganache. I still need some practice when piping the frosting, but they were definitely the best I've ever baked.
I'm really proud.

So how's everyone been?
