Dress and Bloomer Shorts.

I made this outfit because the pattern was so cute that to not make it would have been a crime.  It was a really old Butterick pattern: circa 1970's or 1980's I would guess from the photo on the front and the style of the pattern tissue.

I thought I would make a cake again...

Fondant... so scary to work with, such a satisfying result.

I love the contrasting colours Kiri chose...

Kiri and Kyle, thanks so much for entrusting me with your wedding cake!  I had fun, what a blast from the past for me.  Although, I must say, 10 years ago I was a lot faster at it!  And huge props to my mother for her baking genius.  Your chocolate-zucchini recipe is absolutely to die for.

These drapes were made for walking.

Drapery fabric gets a second chance.
