Back Stitching Gaia..

Its been a while, but I am once again getting back into my cross stitching of Sadness of Gaia, my health has not been very good the last couple of months but I am slowing getting back into things.

Whilst I have been away from stitching I have also found a new passion of cake baking and decorating, which I am teaching myself to do by reading lots of books and watching videos on YouTube 

My recent attempt was a 'Blueberry Breakfast' Cake, I came across on 'Half Baked' by Tessa Lindow Huff  - (I am actually unable to eat the cakes myself due to only having a strict diet (due to my illness) but Rafal, the family and the people that work for Rafal get to eat them.)  I am told this cake was amazing...I wasn't able to frost the outside of the cake completely right as I brought the wrong cream - I didn't know what the Polish was for whipping cream - I do now - but I am pleased with it...




My Sadness of Gaia, is extremely sad as I have not made a lot of progress on her but I am hoping to complete the current page in a week, so I will have a photo to update you with...(this is the last updated photo - taken back in March 2013)...

  2. I can't imagine baking such yummy things, and not being able to 'taste test'. Wouldn't work for me, I'm afraid.

    Glad you're feeling better and getting back to stitching!
