This weekend I again dug into my felted sweater stash to make a new wreath for the door. My little heart shaped rag wreath does not do well outside, so it was time for new one.
Two sweater sleeves to cover the styrofoam base and selected pink and red sweater parts for the flowers. I just pinned the flowers on so I can take them off later. Quick, and easy-peasy.
More home comforts in the form of French madeleines.
I have had these pans for years and years: bought in France too. I have not made them before because the fact that the batter has to 'rest' for so long has always put me off. Cathy from The House With The Blue Door made some a few weeks ago with this recipe, where the batter only has to rest for 20 minutes. I tried it and loved it. Perhaps Proust wouldn't be so proud, but everybody here gobbled them up. I will definitely be making these again.
Stay warm!
Jenn
