jobs on at home

recently i have learnt that i am lactose intolerant. that means that i have been not eating much cheese, my favorite and instead making new yummy treats. these are the most recent.


using silicone cupcake molds i melt chocolate and cover them, and then pop them in the fridge to set.
 

once they are cool i fill them with peanut butter, a slice of banana and some coconut.
 

so yummy


then i cover the tops and seal in the banana with more melted chocolate and decorate with more coconut and a goldenberry. these dont last long at our place.


when i am at home i have been spending my time trying to finish the quilt i started with lindsay ages ago. she finished hers last year. and i finally finished mine the other weekend.
here it is being help up by my lovely local models in the garden.
 

this is the back of the quilt
 

otto wanted to be in the photo too
 

the binding is green and yellow stripes. love it. quilting was simply making a diagonal cross through the plain linen squares.   i can't wait to get it on the bed once it warms up a tiny bit


and finally some local brat sprayed over my mile crate graffiti on our parking garage, so i sprayed over his disaster and made a new artwork.
 

who doesn't love a pineapple !


it is right on the corner in a prominent place, and i got the thumbs up from people passing by as i was doing it.
 

see how long this one lasts.
