Crafting happily

[wiseheart]

Today I finally got around to finish a long-planned stitched card with the baby Jesus under a church window. It wasn't a particularly different pattern, save for the fact that I stupidly decided to do it with metallic thread on black paper. My poor eyes didn't thank me for the idea. But I think the card turned out quite nicely. What do you think?



Also, my second attempt to make fondant-based Christmas candy was successful. Here can you see the candies still drying on a grid:



Here are they gift-wrapped, in a decorative cardboard vessel:



And here are the same candies in simpler wrapping - that is how we are going to sell them on the charity fair before Christmas (because I don't have enough of the festive wrappings, basically):

The card turned out beautifully!

Are those rum candies by any chance? Lecker!!

Well, I made them with rum-flavoured baking aroma. I rarely use real alcohol, simply because we don't keep any in the house, except eggnog.
