Freshly baked..

I baked cupcakes yesterday from German marble cake recipe from here. I just love the aroma of the freshly baked cakes..

and with a cup of hot tea or coffee this is just perfect to kick start a cold day!!

Pen & pencil holder

I stitched this pencil & pen  holder from my old jeans..

Then painted a sunny summery picture with acrylics ..

I have hand stitched it and you can see the stiching there..

I think I must learn to use my tiny sewing machine..will search youtube for videos for instructions..

Golden Leaf

Playing with polymer clay again..I made a leaf as big as the palm of our hand..made veins on it with a blunt knife ..

Then baked it for half an hour or something..let it cool and then painted it with golden colors..

It makes a perfect candle stand and with its glitter it looks stunning in the evening light..

Blumen on Porcelain

There seems to be no end to the dull rainy cold days or maybe it's just the beginning ..brrrrrrrr..


So to brighten up my day I painted another porcelain plate ..


This time it is blumen theme with pinks, red's and yellows..

Baking it gave a shiny gloss to it ..adding sparkle to my table and room..

A table setting in the making...

A easy and instant way to make a stylish table setting...

Thread a pretty button on to ribbon to make an inexpensive alternative to a napkin ring

Remedy for a gloomy rainy cold day..

Read books.. Drink hot tea and make some art/ craft .. plus some day dreaming and you will get instant pleasure and will be transported to different sunny world..

So here is what I made. Two Betel leaves from polymer clay..baked it and painted them with golden veins. Betel leaves are important in Indian culture as Ayurvedic medicine and  breath freshener.

Fall

Enjoying fall while it is still here...
