Rosegarden update…

30 day challenge day 3 delayed post.

Day 3 was painted on Friday but never got around to post it, nothing fancy I tried not to overwork the painting, I tried to lay the paint and not mess with it too much. I must admit I’m not doing very well with my challenge but I am painting a lot more than whatContinue reading “30 day challenge day 3 delayed post.”

Tiramisu Cheesecake

Yes … Tiramisu Cheesecake, why not, I have been on this Mascarpone trip recently and can’t get enough.

My Potager …

Hopefully, you got here after seeing my previous post It’s SPRING! Rose Garden in the making. After completing the rose garden I felt that there was something missing, I needed a French Kitchen Garden – nothing to over the top, just enough space to grow Thyme, Garlic, Green Onions, Shallots, Oregano, Basil and a fewContinue reading “My Potager …”

It’s SPRING! Rose Garden in the making.

So here we are again… another Spring – and I must say I have been definitely distracted in preparation to this wonderful season, perhaps my favorite and I wonder why… I have been once again stuck in the garden – project after project with a painting resting on the easel that I have commenced andContinue reading “It’s SPRING!
