i promised this a long time ago and never did it.

here are a few photos of the work i did in my ceramics class[also known as the best class ever].








...this one broke the last time it was fired, so my hand holding that piece on wasn't originally thought to be a part of the work. he he...

the best cake is . . .

italian cream cake.

cake:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup oil
5 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon soda
1 cups buttermilk
2 cups flour
1 cup angel flake coconut
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

cream sugar, shortening, and oil. add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition. stir soda into buttermilk. add buttermilk alternately with flour to batter. fold in coconut. beat egg whites and fold into mixture. add flavorings. pour into 3 greased and floured 9-inch pans. bake in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. cool cake layers before icing.

icing:
one 8-ounce package cream cheese
1/2 cup margarine
one 1-pound box confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

cream cheese and margarine. beat in sugar gradually. add flavorings. this makes lots of icing for each layer top and sides. serves 16.

i just had 4 fillings and a root canal done. my mouth hurts.

cartwheels turn to car wheels.

i found these little gems at ma maison over the holidays:
{my lovely grandparents}

{grandpa jack and his boys, cute}

{my grandpa, the sailor, with a little note from his love}

aren't they splendid?

i wish for today . . .
