Cake, Tea and Flowers

My simnel cake, which I am very proud of. It took three hours to bake and had a collar of brown paper and string. I only had room for eight disciples, and all my fruit sank to the bottom, but it tastes good! My Mum and brother were here today for Easter lunch. Andy cooked while we went for a wander in Greenwich. Delicious lunch and I managed to come second in scrabble rather than last.

Another tall, thin painting, representing the many cups of tea drunk today.

I have missed shadow shot Sunday again, but these would have been perfect. I do like green flowers. I have Euphorbias and Hellebores in the garden, and also a variety of tulip called Spring Green-if it appears again. Snowdrops have that little flash of green too. These are from the flower shop and are teamed with another green flower and two pink roses with green tinges.

Shadow Shot Sunday

My tea this morning with one of my favourite teaspoons from Sarah in Holland.

The shadow of the spoon.

The beautiful fabric from Jessica of Sweet Eventide-from a fabric swap arranged by Lisa of Parallel Botany. I have a few ideas of what to make-once the sketchbook project is finished and a few other things I am doing are done! It is lovely fabric-thanks Jess!

A flying saucer gourd. I liked its shadow. The shadow could be the aliens getting out of their gourd.
