Garden Party Prep

 

Getting ready for a garden party at my house. Artichokes are used as flowers in a small jar, colorful pastel plates, and linen place mats for decor. Fig salada, flower cake with blueberries and blackberries, and fresh bread are just a start. I love having a lot of plants and vegetables in my kitchen. They bring it alive in sight and smell.

All of these items including the scissors, knives, forks and spoons are part of the Sese Garden Kitchen and Plaaka June Dining for The Arcade.  This is the first I have heard of Sese and I am glad for the introduction!

I was unable to obtain the adorable outdoor house from the Sese gacha machine. Instead I am using Dust Bunny Melody Cottage.

Baking Cherry Pie from Scratch

Cherry Pie makes me think of summer. Honestly, if you can find cherries then you can have it anytime. I found several recipes to help us bake a cherry pie today. The one I used was easy to follow and everything was made from scratch. Sally doesn’t cook her cherry pie filling before placing it in the pie crust and that saves time. Anybody can go to the store and buy a ready made pie crust. We are doing this by scratch. Please follow the recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction, or look up a different recipe to suit your tastes.

First Snowfall of the Season

We had our first snowfall of the season on Lo Lo. I couldn’t wait to go out and play in it. Snow will put you in the holiday spirit instantly, unless you have to shovel it out of the way. There is 8192 sq m. of land available for rent on Lo Lo. All of the information is available at the property.

I am wearing Doe hairstyle Nole in the Candy color selection. The lights strung around the hair is super cute. This was won at The Arcade in a gacha machine. I can send this hairstyle in Second Life to one person. Just comment below that you would like it. I only have the one hair and it is no copy, yes transfer. The matching necklace is a gift underneath the tree at The Arcade. The lights are all color change by hud. The hair also has blinking or bright lights.

DIY Christmas Cookie Mix in a Jar

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

Yesterday we spent all day baking and decorating Christmas cookies. Sometimes we just do not have the time to make and bake. Another great way to gift cookies to your loved ones is putting all of the ingredients in a jar. It looks great layered.

Pour your ingredients one by one into a Mason jar. Wrap some ribbon or string around the lid and attach a homemade gift tag. You can write the directions on a recipe card and slip it in to their Christmas card. I found several different recipes on The Domestic Geek blog.

How-to Christmas Ornament Cookies

We have been baking and decorating Christmas cookies today. I have two recipes to share with you to make your own at home. The first batch are easy sugar cookies. Just add some icing, m&m’s, and a ROLO candy and you have a Christmas Ornament cookie. Use any assortment of colors for your ornament decoration.

Christmas Ornament Cookies Recipe

To keep things easy, I’m going to show you a recipe from the same blog for the next cookie. It is so easy to make! 4 ingredient Christmas cookies cannot be more simple. Prepare the cake mix, scoop small dough balls on to cookie sheet, bake, cool, and place your Hershey’s Kiss candy on top.

Trimming the Tree with My Deer

I have been to The Arcade and loaded up on Christmas decor! The Trompe Loeil advent calendar and the moss&mink collection are a couple of my favorites this year. Now I need to get back to decorating the house. Tomorrow is a big baking day!

I am still loving my CATWA Lilly bento mesh head. It looks great with Glam Affair makeup. Which you may realize is my favorite. I’ve also been digging the Veechi eyeshadows lately.
