Betty went back to the home of her youth on the weekend: always good for a giggle, don’t you find. While she was there, she had the privilege of viewing some of her small sister’s art. The child, as devoted readers will know, is a genius. Read it and weep.

Bakery, part II

December 30, 2009 at 5:00 am (Art, Family) (, , )

Because I can’t resist. Readers will recall that two of Betty’s younger sisters made this bakery. One of these sisters used to sometimes make Betty a nativity scene out of a small blob of Blu-Tac, to hone her skills, it seems.

Check out the custard squares on the second shelf — the ones next to the plum pudding and the Neenish tarts.

I discovered these on two of the bedroom doors when I was home for Christmas.

Bakery

Betty’s younger sisters made this bakery from a cardboard box; the edibles are made from Du-Kit. Each tiny croissant is approximately the size of Betty’s thumbnail; the jam tarts are even smaller. So pretty!
