~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!!
