Pasticceria... Pastry...

Spending time in the kitchen is always a favorite pastime,  and making Pastry tops my list of favorite things to bake.  So flaky and decadent,  I love it so much,  Pie's Tarts, Cookies, Breads and Biscuits,  sweet or savory,   all of them... so good.

Fai Da Te... DIY...

It's always fun to make something pretty that doesn't take too much time or cost a lot of money.  I enjoyed making this Wreath using things that I have at home.  Simple,  uncontrived flower arrangements are my favorites... often Roses and Eucalyptus.  And when they are past their prime,  I hang them to dry,  so I almost always have some pretty dried flowers around for using in a Craft.  This is one of those times.  I love how this Wreath turned out,  and since I didn't spend anything to make it,  I don't worry that it won't last forever,  and it isn't something that I need to store ... which is in keeping with my wanting to stay uncluttered...

In Attesa Di Primavera... Waiting For Springtime...


Longing for winter weather which will never happen... but,  it's not nice to complain.  Our weather is amazing, many  people can only dream of it,  but... I guess we can't always have what we want... I try to create  a winter theme,  but,  it's not easy,,, In the meantime,  I enjoy spending time in my Potted English Garden,  and of course,  my kitchen.
