I have been admiring the work of artist Mattias Adolfsson all week. He has just had his first book published. Just wonderful, would love to buy the book for my son Henry who is 10. I love very detailed drawings, and kids seem to love them too.

I came across this very cool website a while back where you can illustrate your favourite recipes., theydrawandcook.
I submitted a recipe today. This is a wonderful cake, very moist, not too sweet (I use 1/2 cup sugar not one full cup - a matter of taste). I have made this recipe with limes when I had no lemons and I prefer lemon. I was wondering about orange though, I love all things orange flavour. Then I thought what ever happened to orange and poppy seed cake, back in the 90's every cafe about town sold it, I haven't seen it around lately. It was quite a favourite back then, so I may have to make one very soon. Click on the image below to make it larger so you can read it, and make it!
Also check out the adorable (really!) kidsdrawandcook to see more gorgeous work like this,
the drawing alone is amazing, but check out the ingredients! YUM!
In other news,
Today I had planned to do a load of work. I was up at 6.30, at the grocery store by 8.30 and finished shopping by 9...went to the fabric store and stumbled out with my bags about 10.30, home by 11, check emails and I'm still here at 1.30! I have to leave to get kids at 2.40pm. So, what to do in an hour? What happened to my day?
Well I found this...Feed Your Soul, (a free art project) and love it!
Printed this one and put it above my desk. (and a few others!)
I read this blog post, Feeling Joy and all the comments and realised that it's okay to let the day be.
And I remembered this...
awesome painting by my amazing and talented daughter, Mia.
And I felt better.
This is it, I will do no more (or at least post no more on the blog!). Pretty sneaky.
This is Elizabeth. She has a secret.
This one has no name, which is really sad and a bit mean, if anyone can think of a good name for her let me know. She is waiting. (not for you to giver her a name, just in general! or maybe that is what she is waiting for??) Kelly (see comment below) has named her Caroline! Thank you, I think it's perfect for her. Now she is waiting in general.
