soul stitch pups

Well, it seemed time to indulge in a few pup pics.

Elmo is turning into a fine young dog. He's about nine months old now I believe.

look into those eyes... you WILL give me a cookie!
Emma's eyes are a little harder to find, but she doesn't miss a thing.


Watching for Cats!

the pair of them are constantly vigilant.

Happy Solstice Season to one and all. Don't forget the birds!

A Parade of Presents

Immaculate Confections just finished its first paid job!

A local business asked me to make nine little cakes as party favors for their office Christmas party. Hence a parade of cakes!

Happy Solstice Season!

Here's a detail from the top of the gate:



I'm loving this place!
