Last week we were starting to add pastel to our seascapes.
Ain’t that the truth!
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!

I am loving the stormy seascape, Lynne! the cookies look lovely, I am sure they'll go down well at class! Happy WOYWW and happy Christmas to you, B and Bella! Helen #2
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!
