This year has a feeling of less festivities as the holidays are actually the weekend! So, it just feels like a weekend where you again eat too much and spent too much. For many, I am guessing, that is just normal. The biggest difference this weekend will be spending time with the extended family and our now traditional architecture project. House building by the company of Gingerbread & Sons Pty. Ltd.
 |
| Some accurate plans have been drawn up |
 |
| Wine assisted templates made |
 |
| Then baked and trimmed for slight accuracy |
 |
| Supplies are being both counted and consumed |
 |
| We decided to use some imported products this year |
 |
| Including my all time favourite Violet Crumble (aka honeycomb in chocolate) |
 |
| Dark chocolate is melted for mortar |
 |
| And applied with extreme accuracy |
 |
| A quick blast outside in the sub zero temperatures and the chocolate sets and you get a domek shell |
 |
| Then it is time to glorify it! |
 |
| Australian Freckle roof! |
 |
| Violet Crumble windows, ginger gummi bear flourishes |
 |
| Gingersnowmen guarding the door and the raspberries |
 |
| Some coconut snow |
 |
| Home is where the heart is. |
|
 |
| And the dom is done |
So once again Christmas snuck up on us quickly this year. A trip to Oz, the first wedding anniversary and all these things have meant a fabulous year. Thanks to all the "followers" of this page and the regular readers. I look forward to next year with more photos, a new look blog and hopefully lots of comments from you all. Stay safe, keep smiling.
