WOYWW 811 Waves and Pignoli

Hi all, I’m back for our last Wednesday bloghop before Christmas care of Sarahscraftshed. First of all, I wish you all happy Christmas! On my desk, I’m finishing off my Stormy Seascape. 
Last week we were starting to add pastel to our seascapes. 


I think I’m done! We’re doing a quick study of a bit of Xmas tree and a clothes peg tomorrow. 
We’re taking treats to class so I made some Pignoli, Sicilian almond, lemon and pine nut cookies. 
I have 10 put away for class or we’d eat them! 
They have a soft almond paste centre, and are a mix of almond paste, pine kernels, sugar, bit of flour, egg white and lemon zest. It’s Nigel Slater’s recipe but I used almond paste rather than marzipan (less sugar I think: Odense sell it on Amazon.) It’s the first time I’ve made them, and I think I’d make them smaller next time, but I’m still pleased. 

B’s slipover is nearly finished. Bella’s supervising as ever. 😻😹 She sends purrs to you all. 
And finally…

Ain’t that the truth! 


Take care and happy WOYWW 
hugs

LOL! I think you are done too - it looks marvelous. As does the crochet. Those colours are just so wonderful together. The cookies look fab too and I think I have that recipe. I do have a handful of Nigel's books. Have a happy holiday - now where IS my axe...? :D
On time!
