I built a house with my bare hands over Christmas together with my boyfriend. Not irrelevant detail: it was a candy house made out of cookie dough. I made my first gingerbread house a couple of years back, and I have been willing to make another one for a long time. Christmas seemed like a good moment. My favorite part is decorating. I love adding details and finishing touches that make the house come alive.
We gave the candy house away to family we were visiting, with only one condition: that it should be broken and eaten that day. I am happy to announce that it was as good as it looks: delicious ;)
love it!
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so wonderful! I've wanted to try this for a long time too! xo
ReplyDeleteYou should! I just used cookie dough and cut cardboard shapes out first
DeleteSo very very cute! It's been awhile since I built a house ; ] but the last time I did, it came with all the pieces you just out together. Maybe I'll make my own next year around the holidays though. Yours turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I would love to see if you do. I kind of want to make something even more ambitious now; was thinking of the Eiffel tower or something :D
DeleteYour house is adorable and is absolutely a 'magical day dream'. I love the green sugar grass and little red friend. Making little gingerbread houses was such a huge part of my childhood, I attempted one this year with my children. Unfortunately they now think that a glue gun, school gun and a blow dryer are necessary components of ginger bread house making.
ReplyDeleteWhahaha. I can so get that! It took quite long for the icing to dry; was tempted at some point to use a blow dryer as well ;)
DeleteDaar wil ik graag mijn tanden inzetten!! Al is dat natuurlijk wel zonde, want hij ziet er super leuk uit!!
ReplyDeleteJa maar daar is hij natuurlijk ook voor, vandaar de voorwaarde ;)
Deleteyou are so creative!
ReplyDeleteFirstly,I never thought I'd find someone who loves polka dots as much as I do (I own far too many polka dot-esque clothing) but it is clear that you do from your blog header photo, love it!
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to make a gingerbread house this year but never got round to it :( hope you have a good new year when it comes!
