Christmas Trees, mice and a cake

This little fun Christmas tree by JBW I stitched already sometime ago for myself. It was now time to put it in frames and showcase it. Just love the simplicity of JBW designs. Would love to have a few others too...

This Christmas tree I wanted to stitch as gift in an exchange but being the perfectionist I am couldn't give it. Wasn't really happy with the bottom of the tree, it was surprisingly difficult to sew. The design is a freebie and it's worth to go and check the Italian blog by La Comtesse where I found it. Lots and lots of nice and easy to do designs!!

I also managed to finish a long time WIP recently. The cute couple of mice under the street lamp woke a lot of attention at our cross stitch meeting last Saturday. I have a certain feel of love with these cuties myself!

Today I baked a snowflake shaped cake. Yum it was so good! Basic sponge cake flavoured with cocoa powder. To add the snow affect there's some icing sugar dusted on top of it.
