Tomorrow afternoon we will be making a Gingerbread House, but before that can happen the pre-fabrication of building materials must take place. So that's what I've been doing tonight. Because sleep is so over-rated.
I could have simply re-used the pattern from previous years but I was getting kind of bored with doing the same thing year after year. About a month ago Megan was musing on the question of how to do an Aussie gingerbread house and I got all inspired and stuff. So tonight I made a new pattern, this time of a house with a verandah out the front (at least I hope that's what I've made! I was kind of tired.)
Here's the pattern being cut out in the dough.
And here are all the bits, baked and ready for Construction Phase 2 tomorrow afternoon.
Damn my house smells good just now.

I have never made a gingerbread house but, hey, next year....?
Can't wait to see the finished product. You are very clever.
Can't wait to see it!
Hi There! I'm hoping that'll make an appearance on Christmas day! Looks yummy. The shape looks fab - any chance of an old rockin' chair and some gum trees?
Looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday,

I am sticking to Christmas cookies until William is a bit bigger.
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Oh, I want to see it! I want to see it! I am very excited.
I want to try and make one next year. It will be super fun!
