Creativity comes in many sizes and shapes.  For Thanksgiving I was asked to make dessert.  My favorite task!  My goto cookbook is the Joy of Cooking.  This is the raspberry chocolate cream cake, which begins with a genoise (unleavened cake) and involves about 500 steps and every bowl and utensil I own.  Also Chambord soaked into the cake layers.  Seriously delish.

I also finished the card with the kimono pattern.

Hmmm…. I loved this pattern so much, where shall I find more?  I do love Islamic tile patterns.  There was a great book on these at the library if I can find it.
