As you can see I am well and truly addicted to these wee houses - whenever Vanessa (Shoppe Manager & Artist for Stampington) asks if I am interested in a few I cannot resist. Home has always been a most treasured place for me, and this year in between all of the traveling I have been doing I have come to appreciate it all the more. With Spring on the cusp of appearing I could not help but relay my hope for it's arrival through these three wee houses.

I hope you will visit Stampington's Blog Somerset Place  for the full step by step how to on how these little treasures were created. Now off to work on a top secret project that I am literally BURSTING to tell you about however I must keep it a secret a bit longer.

Baking Goodness

I love to bake! Baking for me is not just simply about creating food to eat but creating a memory that will last a life time. This week I have found myself  nestled in my warm kitchen much more than normal (which is good as it is snowing again).

The cookie sheets have been filled and refilled, the mixer has become a constant noise in the background of our day and the butter stash is seriously depleted. Like many families each of us enjoys a different treat. The little man prefers Chocolate Chip Cookies - made with a mix of chips of the small and larger variety.

My Love is all about the Peanut Butter Cookie. Sweet and salty as well as chewy on the center with a hint of crisp butter around the perimeter.

One thing we all agree on - my homemade Roasted Banana Bread. I can honestly say this is the one thing I bake that I cannot stay away from once cool enough to eat. Of course can anyone really resist anything baked with more than a stick of butter, roasted bananas and a crunchy top that has a wee hint of cinnamon?
