I was asked to do a chocolate and fresh strawberries cake in the shape of "21" Where are all the strawberries I hear you ask- well, the day before I was due to deliver the cake I decorated around the base and the top of the cake with strawberries. It wasn't until late that night that it dawned on me that when strawberries and sugar are mixed together the strawberries lose juices- Aargh!! so fearing the whole cake would be a wash with juice I removed them all. As they had started to "leak" I reapplied chocolate on top and repiped and decorated with choc buttons the following morning. I supplied fresh strawberries to be put on top at the last minute!-what a dim wit I am......
This theme was hard for me this week, on several levels. We literally don't have a backyard, a front one...but not a back one! And to be quite honest, our yard is ugly. It is strewn with a dirty big trampoline, with its netting disintegrating, a DIY shed that houses a myriad of bikes, surf boards, junk and other 'essential' items just TOO important to throw away, a kayak, a vege garden, soccer balls and a dilapidated and never used cubby house. Certainly not a yard that would feature in a lifestyle magazine. Sigh, one day we will have a yard that looks picture perfect.... in the mean time I've added a bit of sun flare to try and distract you all from the overgrown lawn - which I swear my husband mowed this afternoon!
You have too many white walls. More colour is wanted. You should have such men as Whistler among you to teach you the beauty and joy of colour. Take Mr. Whistler’s ‘Symphony in White,’ which you no doubt have imagined to be something quite bizarre. It is nothing of the sort. Think of a cool grey sky flecked here and there with white clouds, a grey ocean and three wonderfully beautiful figures robed in white, leaning over the water and dropping white flowers from their fingers. Here is no extensive intellectual scheme to trouble you, and no metaphysics of which we have had quite enough in art. But if the simple and unaided colour strike the right key-note, the whole conception is made clear. I regard Mr. Whistler’s famous Peacock Room as the finest thing in colour and art decoration which the world has known since Correggio painted that wonderful room in Italy where the little children are dancing on the walls. Mr. Whistler finished another room just before I came away—a breakfast room in blue and yellow. The ceiling was a light blue, the cabinet-work and the furniture were of a yellow wood, the curtains at the windows were white and worked in yellow, and when the table was set for breakfast with dainty blue china nothing can be conceived at once so simple and so joyous.
The fault which I have observed in most of your rooms is that there is apparent no definite scheme of colour. Everything is not attuned to a key-note as it should be. The apartments are crowded with pretty things which have no relation to one another. Again, your artists must decorate what is more simply useful. In your art schools I found no attempt to decorate such things as the vessels for water. I know of nothing uglier than the ordinary jug or pitcher. A museum could be filled with the different kinds of water vessels which are used in hot countries. Yet we continue to submit to the depressing jug with the handle all on one side. I do not see the wisdom of decorating dinner-plates with sunsets and soup-plates with moonlight scenes. I do not think it adds anything to the pleasure of the canvas-back duck to take it out of such glories. Besides, we do not want a soup-plate whose bottom seems to vanish in the distance. One feels neither safe nor comfortable under such conditions. In fact, I did not find in the art schools of the country that the difference was explained between decorative and imaginative art.

This is my Grandmother, Helen. Raised me nearly from birth, and never beat my ass enough. Caught her in the kitchen tonight making a sandwich. She is probably the most awesome person you'll ever meet in your life. If you don't know her, you're missing out...
