A Lovely Sponge! 😋

I know this was yesterday, but I do love sponge cake and I just started making them.

This was my first attempt, for my DH's birthday last month. 

I totally wasn't paying attention to the recipe and didn't use self rising flour or baking powder. 

Can you tell?! It came out of the oven the same size as it went in!

It wasn't terrible, but it definitely could have been better.

Then I made this one last week for a weekend getaway with friends.

Ah, so much better! Next time I think I'll make a regular one instead of chocolate. 

Has anyone ever made a lemon sponge?

While we were with our friends, three of us decided we needed tea, and it was wonderful.

 

Fully Finished Gallery - August 2024 🖼

 Welcome to Rachel's 

Fully Finished Gallery SAL for August 2024.

Back to my normal, almost too late, self!

Here is August framed, I think September will still look good in this?

I've been looking for a fall/winter one, but I haven't found anything yet.

This sweet piece is from Kate Stitcher. It was in the Grace Notes retreat booklet last year. I used their fabric and changed the colours to go with it.

I modge podged this wooden piece with a fall napkin and painted the post and bottom. I thought you would be able to see it from the front, but the stitched piece was too big. It can be seen from the back and I've thought about adding something Halloween there so I can turn it around. We'll see.

And here it is with a small display, getting ready for a fabulous fall. It feels like it tonight, nice and cool, the bedroom windows are open!

I'm once again way behind on my blog reading and replying to comments, one of these days I'll catch up!

But be sure to check out the others and their finishes, I hope to get to them tomorrow.
