Cupcake anyone??...

Just wanted to share some recent yummy makes with you....some edible...most not...lol

These were my cupcakes that I made for my mums 60th  party that i'd mentioned before....i was quite pleased with my first attempt at piped icing and even more pleased with the all important taste..a girl can't just try one you know ;)

 I made this large Boutique Bow for my RiRi...I do love making bows and pretty things :)

Some more hair slides I made just off the top of my head, amazing how quick you can knock something up which looks totally cute!

And my fav of all...............................

 How cute <3....even I want to wear this one...all pastely and yummy :)

And last but not least.....a place to store all these lovelies! Designed by her very self, my daughter Rhiann

I clearly have an obsession with pastels right now, must be spring

Anyway I'm off to beddy byes...nite nite all xx

Scrummy Easter Displays

Evening all!

Seems a while since I've been on here, I've been finding lots of lovely pages on Facebook and find any time I'm on the net this is where I head to first...so I apologise for my leave of absence :'(

Anyhow, last week I went to my local(ish) garden centre as they have some fab ribbons there and I stunbled upon the most amazing Gisella Graham Easter display! Full of spring colours, colourful eggs, baskets, bunnies, chickens....you name it they had it...it was a real feast for the eyes :) They also had some amazing Gisella Graham grosgrain ribbon for sale, all in springtime pastels and polka dots....so of course I had to buy me some :)

I still can't decide my favourite, and at 99p-£1.25 for a 3 meter reel...i'm already wanting to head back there!

If you wanted to pop along and see for yourself the garden centre in question is Longacres in Bagshot, Surrey....its well worth a look.

On another note.....my husband caved in and went and bought me some much needed storage for all my extending crafty bits the other day, I've had lots of fun organising it all.

I keep walking out to my landing to admire it lol.....sad life I know.....whoops!

I have some other pics of recent makes but I'll save them for another day :)

Enjoy your Saturday Evenings bloggers....I'm off to get ready for a family meal...yummmm

Sweet treats ;)...

Hello my lovely Bloggers!

 All of us have had colds in succession this week...first my Husband, then my daughter, then my son....and lastly me :( As all you fellow mums (and some dads possibly!) may know, when we are ill...the show must go on! lol I wanted nothing more than to curl up in my pyjamas, under a duvet all day with no jobs to do but my daughter was still poorly and up all night coughing (still is..zzzzz) and I've got sooooo many things on my to-do-list leading up to my mums 60th Birthday Party this Saturday, that I just couldn't unfortunately have that luxury. Anyway on a brighter note, I am going to the Amazing Four Seasons Hotel tomorrow with my mum, for a Spa day with an HOUR long full body massage!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!! Courtesy of a very thoughtful xmas pressie from my hubby :)

So here are a few handmades from this week....enjoy!

This was an extra little pressie I made last minute for my mums Birthday which was yesterday, it's a new needlecase for her

Popcorn brooch

Mint Green 'R',  for Rhiann my daughter, to hang on her door handle. Which she promptly hung up :)

Lollipop Handbag Charm

My daughter requested a new plushie just to play with in her room, I think she's sooo cute! <3

That's all for this week folks but the rest of my weeks are free for me to craft all I like now so keep an eye out for my posts

Thanks for reading :)

Milano baby!...

This month is very busy for me as it's been my Husbands Birthday and my Mums 60th coming up on Valentines day so lots of organising and planning. I suprised my lucky man with 2 tickets to Milan for the weekend with a posh hotel...aren't I the good wife ;) ( and a very clever one too ha ha)
So we flew out on Saturday 4th (his bday) and came back Monday night, very nice break, however even more cold and more snow than over here...and my Husband HATES being cold...(maybe not such a good clever wife after all!) It was a lovely break though, we NEVER have any more than 1 night away from our kids as we miss them terribly and feel guilty, so it was nice to just have some us time for once...and have a few cocktails together...yuummmm

So I now have a week ahead of party planning and organising ahead then thats it....I can finally get on with some crafting and making which I love <3
