Mark Edwards: Waiting for The Key

The contemporary paintings of British artist Mark Edwards are so mysterious and I find them quite fascinating and surreal. 

This one is called Waiting for the key.

I found one website that has many articles about this artist.

Flourless Muffins and A 1945 Movie

I used my last banana this morning in a smoothie but when I go to the market again I will definitely make these muffins. I need carrots too.

Recipe HERE. It has a place to click to double and triple the recipe if desired. 

It has been overcast with gray skies for days here. 

Yesterday I decided to look for 

A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN 

movie to watch and found it on YouTube. I have always thought of this as a Christmas Movie but that must be a well-kept secret because you never see it offered anywhere. I streamed it from my laptop to my TV using Chromecast but I would have been just as happy watching it on my computer. 

It was free had had no commercials. 

Here's the link:

Scandinavian Christmas DIY Ideas for Next Year

I love the simplicity of these architectural  gingerbread cookies in a skyline arrangement.

Who wouldn't love a gingerbread house hanging on the rim of a cup filled with hot cocoa?

You wouldn't even need a pattern for this A-Frame gingerbread house! Start looking for a large heart-shaped cookie cutter. You could do the triangles from a paper pattern in the scale of the hearts ending with rounded ones at the entrance. More ideas here.

If you leave your Christmas decorations up until 

12th night, you might still want to keep 

baking and making! xo

Shakespeare Family

I learned so many things I did not know about Shakespeare's family life. When he married Anne Hathaway in 1582, he was 18 and she was 26! 

Read more about his early life in this article.
