Apple pie & slippers

Hi everybody, hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

It's a cold and rather misty day here, but my apartment is filled with the aroma of freshly baked apple pie, yummy!
 I tried a different recipe this time, using white and wholemeal flour mixed, and adding ground almonds to the pastry. I used soft brown sugar and cinamon to flavour the apples, and it has oozed out at the sides making a disgustingly delicious toffee crust, sigh! Here it is, fresh out of the oven:

And with the first slice taken out:

I didn't know who wanted cream and who wanted custard, so help yourselves and enjoy it with whatever you prefer:

And to go from the sublime to the ridiculous, here are some little slippers I knitted last week. They were quick to knit, and I have put stoppers under the soles (they were included with the packet of wool, buttons and needles) and they are warm and comfortable for lounging around at home.

At So Artful the challenge is to create a tree using orange and one other colour. Here I have used a photo I took on my walk along the Rhine yesterday, along the path leading down to the old ferry.

I played around and made several digitally altered variations.

With scratched and textured edges:

 

Kaleidoscope:

 

Tunnel vision?

 

Tiles:

And I saw this lovely bike on my way out yesterday, so pretty:

 

I'm off for a walk now, need to use up those apple pie calories!

Have a great day, whatever you are up to, take care, and thanks for coming by!
