Week Three - Summer of Colour

 I've just finished off my next entry for Summer of Colour. I realise that I am super quick and efficient this week, but I have to be as next week I am going away. A very kind friend of mine, Ang from Tracing Rainbows has agreed to pop the linky up for me next Monday so all should be well.
 But without further ado here is Baseball nut with his ribbons of raspberry swirl and pecans. I found this weeks prompt quite hard to plan, possibly because I have never heard of this flavour before being a Brit. I've opted for deep purple and blue threads mixed together for the fly stitch ribbons. The stitch looks a lot like the stitching on a baseball to me so I thought it was really apt. The nuts are in his expression, I was going to add a few pecans to the cream and I still might but I couldn't quite decide where and how I wanted them.

So here are my three ice creams all together. I think they make quite a lovely threesome. My DD keeps giving them all kisses when she sees them which makes me smile no end. People have been asking what I'm planning to do with these guys once I'm done, but I'm going to be horrible and leave you all in suspense a little bit longer.

 Thank you for all the wonderful and supportive comments on my last entry. I hope you all like this weeks just as much.

  23. Mr Baseball Nut doesn't look happy? Perhaps he is also confused about what he should taste like! I am afraid to go and find this flavour and check it out - that might become habitual!

  25. Mr Baseball Nut doesn't look very happy :o( Maybe Rainbow Sherbet and Mint Choc Chip are so HOT! I love how you've done his 'hair' like baseball stitching. That's clever.

    See you next week at SOC!
