The old biscuits made new

I made these little Christmas cookies out of old biscuits that I had experimented with earlier in the year. I bit early for Christmas I know  but I kept seeing lovely ones on ebay( which I am trying to stay off - for miniatures at least - and in other places.

I got the sprinkles in The Pound Shop and the little glass jars they came in ( not shown) will be wonderful for spaghetti jars if I can figure out what to do for Spaghetti. The flour jar was with an ebay lot I won. I think I may leave it the colour it is.

I painted the rolling pin and mixer in 'Bake Off' theme.

 

I am still experimenting with cooking other shapes.

This came in the post

These little cutters came in the post while I was away. I spotted them on Etsy and thought they would do nicely in the kitchen.

I am still trying to work out if they work - hope that makes sense. The fimo wasn't playing ball one evening I tried but I will have another go maybe with colder hands. I couldn't get it out once I got it in as the sides are slightly bevelled, maybe they are just for display?


In the meantime I revamped some of my first biscuits looking ahead to Christmas but too dark tonight by the time I had time to take photographs. Getting very dark here now at 7ish in the evening.

My holiday souvenir

I have been on holiday , lots of lovely weather in Majorca. Back here to rain.
Here is what I left  I had never been to Majorca before and I really can't wait to go back again some time. The temperatures were 28-30 degrees C even at the end of September.

 

I could not resist buying this little bike in a small shop there. As usual I am hopeless about size and scale and thought it might be too big but I hope you agree it looks fine parked at the moment and very temporarily outside the pink house. I now wish I had bought another , and a small scooter I had seen.  I do of course plan to do something with it.
