~Baking Pretty Madeleines & Homemade Burlap Bulbs and Simple & Sweet Fridays #160~



I always love baking during Easter.
Madeleines are so pretty and just the perfect small dessert.
Even the mini madeleines are a bite of Heaven!
I just bought some new copper measuring cups, love them!
When you take the madeleines out of the oven and line them all up,
they make such a pretty photo!!
With fresh small roses make a beautiful centerpiece.

I have been wanting to make burlap bulbs.
I kept thinking about making them for a Spring vignette.
I took different colored burlap, pine cones and jute.
I used some fabric stiffening spray to hold them together.
I cut out pieces of linen and sewed them,
 to make them look like a leaf coming out.
Painted them with watercolors.
Painted some dark brown around the bottom.
 I glued string to make it look like roots.
You can really see the roots when you place it in a glass jar.
It was a fun project and makes a flower vignette outside.
No water needed too!!
I also wanted to make some popovers 
using fresh thyme from the garden.
I found a Martha Stewart recipe for Gruyere Thyme Popovers.
Loved using fresh thyme.
They were Delicious!
I made a special birthday card for a friend 
and wrapped the present with some fresh flowers.
A special touch with something from the garden.
I wanted to share with you the birds in our garden today.
New mama dove in our Stag Horn Fern.
A new mother hummer on the grape lights
 and of course,
 our chickens finding new spots in the garden.
An Easter bunny playing in the garden.
Always love seeing her.
Such a nice surprise.

 Can't wait to see what everyone has been working on!!

~Madeleines and Simple & Sweet Fridays #99~

I love Madeleines.
They are a delicious light butter cake.
I haven't made them in awhile.
I made some orange glaze to put on top.


It's a wonderful Parisian dessert.
I made a small latte too.
It was heaven
Outside was a beautiful 80 degrees in San Diego.
Our small olive tree looks so cute with olives on it this year.
Lily of the Valley 
The Calliandra Haemat is in full bloom.
It's also known as the "Pink Powder Puff".
So pretty, just in time for Valentine's Day.
Putting out some of my holiday decorations.
I'll share more soon with you!
I'm working on a special crown 
for a friend's birthday this weekend.
Just started and have lots of ideas of how to decorate it!!
I'll also share that with you next week too!
Hope she likes it.

What have you been working on lately,
can't wait to see!!
