In case you don't have time to watch the whole video of me painting peeps I posted yesterday, here are some photos of the peeps I painted.
I painted them in gouache paint on watercolor paper.
I also ate one of each :D
Next I am going to paint some baby chick peeps.
See you later!
One of my daughters recently graduated college and was home this weekend wanting to celebrate. She put together this cheese board for our family. It was a nice Monday evening surprise!
Almost nothing is more satisfying than a dessert that is also visually beautiful.
Last week when I visited my parents in Wisconsin, we went to a bakery in Lake Geneva called Simple. We also ate brunch at their restaurant next door. But the beautiful and high quality baked goods always get my attention.
Really fell in love with these sweet yellow flower cupcakes. They tasted great too. I should know. I had two of them.
For some reason, I remember a story I read as a child. I found the story in an old book at my library. The book was so old, the pages were yellow and weak. There were few pictures; and they were just black and white sketches. Anyway, here is the story. A girl and her school friends always past a bakery on the way home from school. There was a glass display full of lovely things like pies and cookies. But the best thing of all was the lovely tiered cake covered in frosting roses, swirls, and intricate details. The girl and her friends were always hungry after school and would sometimes stop in the bakery and buy something...
