Morning Peeps, time for our new Allsorts challenge and this week Mervi is our host and would like to see 'Cooking, Baking, Kitchen' themed creations, our winner will receive a set of Gingerbread stamps.
The lavender cushion, well I could have made a lavender cake I guess but I do have a coffee cake to fit the theme which you can see further down and find out about the cushion and also some Chocolate Baroque Hochanda TV shares so a bit of a photo heavy post.
And an offering of a coffee and walnut cake for family afternoon tea.
And I really should have shared my lavender cushion which you will see at the top last week, it was one I made with one of the new Chocolate Baroque fabric panels which Lesley showcased on Hochanda recently, they are made from the most beautiful fine silk cotton fabric which takes colour so well, I used a mixture of watered down acrylic paint an coffee....espresso of course.......and then edged my cushion with some pears which I sewed on by hand and of course filled with lavender gathered from the garden last Summer.
I am also sharing my 15 minute cards from today's post over at the the Chocolate Baroque blog, for this months posts I made a little gift box of note cards and decorated envelopes using the Perfumery stamps which featured in the January shows on Hochanda. For all of my shares I used Versafine Clair inks, I find them ideal for these cards as the inks do all the talking making without the need for any or little colouring in which suite me just fine.

Your cake would look good at a wedding, Brenda, a clever way to make a cake without stamps or dies! The real one looks even better, tantalising even from here! I love the CB cards too, I'm with you here, a simple inking technique showcases the stamps best. Have a great weekend! xx
Wow, wow, wow, you have been busy. I love all the creations but that cushion is fab. Can I come round for a piece of that cake , looks yum. Hugs Anesha
Happy to see you have been creating, Brenda, and some lovely makes as well. Both of your cakes are looking wonderful, and your lavender cushion turned out super pretty.

What a lot to see. You are busy. Beautiful creations. Enjoy your familytime
Your little lavender cushion turned out beautifully, Brenda - it's absolutely gorgeous!
Love your cake, too - I was looking at a similar one made using dies a couple of days ago, thinking it would be a good one to copy, using rectangles and border stamps, but this is just perfect :-)
Some lovely samples there and a beautifully decorated coffee and walnut cake to make our mouths water, lol. That was my Dad's favourite cake, so I made a lot in the past.
Have a lovely weekend and I hope your health is improving daily :-)
