the past week has been a little bit of a blurfor many a reason
there's been cake in the studio for my birthday,
a day or two break from working
(oh, that's what the outside world looks like?) . . .
but then working like sleep isn't part of what we need to do !
there's also been a spot of baking . . .
my fabulous web-shop gal teresa
who just happens to make the best rum balls
(they taste just like my grandmother used to make)
was a trouper this week and made some for my photo-shoot
of christmas 2011 products ( thanks T )
and i made the apricot balls ( with slightly less flair )
. . . but they did the job . . .
it is a little odd making christmas goodies in july
but today we had a mighty nice morning tea
thanks to the need for such things . . .
there's lots to share including the new ornaments for the year
but for now, i thought i would share a quote
that kept ringing in my ears
as christmas baking was made
so far out from the season
from one of my favourite storytellers around, brian andreas:
" She asked me when the season of joy
was supposed to end & I said I didn't really think
there was an exact date, so we left the tree up till
June that year "
