This is not a macaron. No, it doesn't even HAVE eggs in it. But it's tasty:
Rob wanted something to go with his (storebought) custard, so apple dumplings it was. Verrrry tasty.
Here's something from the craft department:
This is Mary Patience, a little lady horse. I'm not in the habit of naming the critters I make (which have been few and far between lately), much less trying to interpret their personalities. But, then, Jane does it, and she's just about as sophisticated as I could hope to be (in this scenario, sophisticated = baking cakes, earning multiple degrees. . . and possibly having chickens). So Mary Patience it is.
She's not so outgoing as her appearance would suggest.
You can see here that she's actually quite prim. She's made of wool felt and Liberty fabrics, which I've been gradually using (and would you believe: they're even better to sew with than to look at!), and her hair is made from cleverly repurposed eyelash yarn. Her necklace is made of little felt beads.
Patience (as I'm sure she's called) was a bit of an experiment for me. I was feeling so inspired by the lovely Margaret that I wanted to try another doll-style plush, and the idea for this horse shape came to me pretty quickly. I'm planning on doing a couple more, once I've stocked up on fibre fill, and possibly offering some for sale. What do you think?
Speaking of things I'd like to sell, I polished up the shop a bit. Put in the newer items and put the old Things I've Made design back in action.
Yummy Apple Dumplings. And, Mary Patience is very cute! I especially like her necklace. You are very creative Anna.

Oh, she's aDORable! And I think her name suits her perfectly. It cracks me up just to look at her. She's darling.

I LOVE HER! She is utterly wonderful...I bet deep in her soul she is quite the little rebel but she'll have to wait until she os "fourty-ish" to relize this side of herself...perhaps some transferance perhaps?
