Making and baking

This afternoon has been very indulgent.  I have tried out a new cake tin  that has been sitting in my cupboard for quite a while now.  It was the pretty shape that attracted me.  The recipe used icing sugar, flours,baking powder and butter the cakes came out with a bit of a biscuit consistency quite short  or perhaps that was because they could have done with 5 mins less cooking anyway  maybe I will perfect them another day !
I have also made another one of Suzi Johns knitted flowers as described in my last post, I have added
a felt button embellished with yellow french knots to give it a bit of texture.  It would also make a nice brooch if it was backed with felt and put on a brooch pin.
Have a great week  :)

Sally, the daisy is lovely! Now after our phone conversation this evening I think you should be relaxing after work by knitting lots of these (and others), with your feet up, in front of the TV and selling them on-line!
GET KNITTING gal!!

Hi Sally, thank you for following my blog! I came over to say hi and I've fallen in love with the cameo on your sidebar - it's gorgeous!! Did you make it?? Also love your daisy, I'm not very good with my hands - can't sew on a button so I really admire people who can make beautiful delicate things. Look forward to reading more.
