I can really feel that Spring is here as flowers are starting to grow. Birds are chirping, even at 4.30am in the morning! Spring also means work in the garden and I am not really looking foward to all those weeds-plucking.
Edit : I think I must be dreaming while writing my blog yesterday. It was Almond Chocolate Cake that is supposed to be here. I even made a small cake stand to go with it. In fact, I made 6 mini cake stands to go with all the 6 small cakes.
I made this Walnut Cream Roll and I simply love it. I am thinking of making another one but in pink.
I've always love the Danish Othello Kage. While walking past the bakery last week, I saw one. I came home and decided to make one myself . This one is sewed but I am going to bake the real one soon, just have to exclude the marzipan away as I hate them.
All of a sudden, I just feel like buying a kit to stitch. I am still working on my HAED Angel of Spring but thought of putting it away for a while. I have 2 Eva Rosenstand kits in mind but still deciding which one to buy first. I hope I won't take too long to decide.

Started a new page 5 days ago that is filled with confetti stitches. Taking one stitch at a time, else I will go crazy! Most of the confetti stitches are on the bouqet of flowers and I am actually looking forward to some colours.
Made some felt cakes and chocolates as well.
This picture was taken last week. Yes, it is still snowing but for a few days, we had sunshine too. Just when the snow is melting, we had 2 days of snow again. We simply can't be bothered to shovel the snow anymore. Seems like there are quite a lot of activities going on in our garden. We have footprints of cats and maybe a hare too.

We had a great Fastelavn party yesterday with our friends and their girls. It is a tradition that these 2 families will come over to our house for this party each year (a day before the real Fastelavn). We have 2 Pippi Longstockings, 2 Cinderellas and 1 witch this year. I guess we all forgot that children are growing. It only took them a few strikes and the barrel was smashed! We should had made it more difficult by putting strong tapes around the barrel. The Queen of Cats happened to be the same girl again. She was the first one to smash it opened last year too.
The snow didn't stop them from coming. One of the families made some fastelavn boller for coffee while I made buns for lunch and a cake for coffee. Already planning for the next party. We just love throwing children parties in our house. It might be during Easter but DH is planning for an Easter trip to Bavaria in Germany to visit his relatives. It had been a while since we had been there. (what is wrong with my spacing? Can't get them to have a spacing inbetween!)
I just hate it when Ebay sellers put their auctions ending during weekend and hate it even more when it is during coffeetime. When we have a party, it is usually for lunch and coffee or coffee and dinner. My friends always wonder why I am standing in the computer each time they are here. I had to bid on 4 books yesterday, thank god I won them all.
Finished these 4 felt icecream cups 2 days ago. Just in time for the 4 girls who were invited to our Fastelavn party. Thank you so much to Annette for the introduction of Photoscape. It is really fun to play around with this program.
Stash came in my mailbox this week - Doodlebug Crushed Velvet Flock which I bought from Glitterpot in UK. They will be used on some felt cakes which look like they have some sprinkled icing powder on top.
I have a new follower on my blog today. Portugese living in France. Surprise, Surprise. When I went to check her 2 blogs out, she has charts uploaded on her blogs. At first I thought they could be freebies but when I saw Permin, Tatty Ted, Disney and some others, I know they are definitely not freebies!!! Please do not follow me on my blog if you have charts uploaded on your blog/s. I will definitely introduce you to the original designers and you will probably follow them to the court.

3 more rows and I am finished with this page. After that, I will proceed to stitch the rest of her face. I am a big fan of B&W but when I strarted to stitch that teeny weeny bit of colours on her chest, I was so happy to finally see some colours beside B&W.
A package arrived from Japan again this morning. Who else could it be from? Michiko, of course! She helped me to buy 2 more felt books again. I am really looking forward to make this wedding cake. A huge thank you to Michiko again. I really feel very bad as Michiko wasn't feeling well last week but still she went to the post office to get my books posted out. That same evening, she had a high fever. Thank god, she recovers quite fast from the high fever.
This is another book which Michiko bought for me. A friend of mine just bought a huge Sylvanian House for her 2 daughters for Christmas and I thought it will be great to make some accessories to add into their Sylvanian families. I used to be a Sylvanian families collector too and I had them packed in a box and put it in the basement. I think I only took it out once to let my DD played with it but I packed them quickly away again. The accessories are so small and I really don't want them to be lost somewhere among her toys.
This is 1st of the 4th which I am making for the girls this Saturday. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I need to buy a new card for my camera as it is broken. So, I am currently using my phone to take pictures and it is not easy to take brighter pictures sometimes. It is becoming a tradition that these 2 families are coming over to our house for the Danish Fastelavn every year. DD is looking so much forward to it. I am making 4 of these for her 4 friends that day and I hope I can finish them before Saturday. Well, if someone helps me to do the housework, I might even make 10 of them within this short period ;0)
This is the dress which DD decides for this year's Fastelavn. She will celebrate it on Friday in the kindergarten and then again on Saturday. Most probably she might want to go to neighbours on Sunday too as the actual day is on Sunday. I wonder when will she finally decides to be Tinkerbell. I really love that costume so much but for the past 4 years, she always say no when I asked her what she thinks of Tinkerbell.
I received my fabrics from Sew Creative last week. They are mostly Lecien fabrics and I managed to have 1/2m of this Timeless Treasures Ballet Slippers. Sew Creative didn't put this on their site but she told me she has it when I asked her for this and the music notes. Too bad, she doesn't has the music notes.
We had a snow storm last Tuesday and an unexpected one on Wednesday. We simply don't have any place for more snow. Our snow shovel broke and all shovels are sold out everywhere. Salt are running low everywhere too.
This place is just further down our house. I went out to the local supermarket to stock up some milk and flour on Monday (a day before the storm). I thought the scenary is really lovely. The middle white area is actually the lake and it was covered with snow or ice.
Ugly side of the snow.
