Roses on ice

The roses I got for Valentine's day have been looking sadder and sadder but I didn't want to toss them just yet. Naturmama Caro to the rescue - in her wonderful book, she describes how to make ice sculptures with embedded treasures from nature. Oh, and here is a link to her blog for it, if you want to see. I sprayed a Bundt pan with oil and showed the kids the picture, that was all the action needed on my part - didn't it come out nice?

Now we can see the ice sculpture through the window when we sit at our dining table, for as long as it stays cold. Happily ever after :-)
