Pearls Puzzle

Our most recent puzzle completion: An Anne Geddes design in a small 100 piece puzzle that I picked up at Deseret Industries for $.75.  It only took Hedgehog about 15 minutes to piece this together.   Hedgehog remarked occasionally about finding matching pearls. We had a 1000 piece woodland otter puzzle out for months that we finally just put away because everyone had stopped working on it.  We do better with completing the 500 or less piece puzzles.

Tardis

Daisy has added art to the front walk but we haven't always taken pictures.  I did take some pictures and thought I should put them up before the rain (that's suppose to come this week) washes away the latest works.

Sunday Randomness #14 A lone Wookie

More notes left around the house.  Wookies are pretty popular right now.  We've gone through kitty phases, manatee spells, puppy past-times, turtle musings and other various animal interludes. (And yes, Wookies are not animals but I still think they look like giant intelligent nice bears.  So I'm lumping them with the animals for looks only.)

Summer Fruit Tarts

Daisy made a Fourth of July Tart with raspberries and blackberries almost entirely by herself.   I helped a little with baking the crust.  We used PanNan's recipe at:  http://www.food.com/recipe/fresh-summer-fruit-tart-122364

This assorted fruit tart we bought from a local bakery.  Verdict?  They were both delicious and we would buy the local bakery tart again and we would make the homemade version again but Daisy's homemade tart did edge out the local bakery.  Maybe it was the brown sugar in the homemade crust or the difference in the fillings but the local bakery tart lasted about three days and Daisy's tart didn't even last one day before it was finished off.  Plus I loved the design on Daisy's tart.
