Wedding cake...sort of

My sister and I attempted to create a sort-of wedding cake for our friend's hen party weekend, we started at 8 in the evening, the night before, slightly too late in my opinion, except that it was just a chocolate sponge and wound't save for much longer. Here is the final result...

don't all start queuing up to put in your orders at once! So the end result was...well you can see, but the process was fun, and for a first attempt we were unashamedly proud. Why the hey anyone pays a grand for these things is anyone's guess, with a few more practise runs, fruit cake and a few more days I reckon I could achieve some pretty cool ones for under £40!

Ipad Drawings

Well I've been doing some doodling recently, thought I'd share...

If anyone happens to have a company called abc furniture suppliers, and wants a free logo, you are more than welcome. 

This is a picture of a fed up chap, frustrated that the film UP didn't give a true representation of balloon transportation.

This choppy is either sky diving, or has just hit a pane of glass, I like to think, from the expression on his face, that it is the latter. 

This is my most recent sketch, of a tree stump, that I used to know as a tree, which is now a nifty flower pot, at a wonderful place, called Muller house in Bristol. 

Knitting Cupcakes and Teacups

Ok well my knitting is usually quite shocking, especially if I have a break and come back to it, but a little while ago I had a go at knitting some cupcakes, as one does, they are yet unfinished, but I will share what I have, lest I suddenly loose everything in a fire/ loose my memory, records must be kept. If anyone has the inclination to finish these for me, they will be in the post this afternoon.

Colouring pencils

You know when I first started this blog during my long summer I was sorting and colour co-ordinating my colour pencils? Well, I'm not sure I ever showed you the finished result. It was so worth doing, never mind what my mother says!

Whether it will actually have been worth me bringing them to uni is another matter, I haven't used them thus far, but no doubt I will, along with the paint samples, knitting, fabric, spray paint, and wallpaper samples (to name but a few) that are lining my creative cupboard. 

The bucket says flowers, but hey it only cost me 10p from a jumble sale, so how far can you go wrong? I reduced my collection by at least 1/3, and now only have good quality colouring pencils. 

Oh and I forget to mention, for you music lovers out there who are missing my desperate attempts to plug my friends' music, this is the part for you. Check out the beautiful voice of Sally Schofield here www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAOAVNk9TQI

and comment if you love it, I do!

I just did this nice picture of the cookie monster, marvel please and my creative genius. Proof enough me thinks of my major lack of motivation to read the books I have to for next week. I also just made bread, burnt it, but hey none the less.
