Cake time again

We had another Birthday in our Home yesterday.

Declyn

Declyn loves getting out on his Bike riding jumps etc so I took this and the fact that he got

a new "spiffy" bike for his Birthday as inspiration for his cake.

I now know that it takes 10 packets of Kit Kats to go around a 20cm cake!

And here is the "compulsory" group shot that I take every year.

They knew it would end up here, cant you just see the effort they are putting in for me! lol

Enjoy your Sunday, I'm off to see if there is any cake left :o)

Hugs Sharon

Back to that cake

Do you remember the cake I mentioned in my last post?
Here is the start. Cake pops. Never made them before and I
was only after the balls, no sticks etc.

Baked until they were JUST cooked.

A thin layer of cake mix was then added to a cake pan and
the "cake pops" were arranged.
Cake mix was then tipped over the "cake pops" to cover.
This is where I ran into problems and ran out of vanilla cake mix and
ended up with strawberry. Make two.

Roll on to earlier today.
Assemble one cake.
Miss 3, almost 4 (Tuesday) was in charge of decorating the cake
after I iced it and I think she did a wonderful job.

Lily loves her Lalaloopsies.

Did you know that their story says that they are sewn from

something recycled and come to life when their last stitch is sewn.

.... and back to the cake.

In hindsight I would do a couple of things differently.

A rainbow spotted Birthday Cake.
No where near as picture perfect as the ones I've seen on
Instagram and Facebook, well that is until I see this next picture.

Perfect Now, but I might be a little biased :o)

So that's one cake down. Another (not the same) will be made for us
on Tuesday night to celebrate Miss Lily's birthday
and cupcakes will be made for Kinder on Wednesday.

Before I go.
Thank you to everyone on your well wishes over my run in with my
Rotary Cutter last night. It is still very sore but I'm sure that in a
few days it will be feeling a bit better.
I'm still not doing the dishes for the 5 days though! :o)

Have a great start to the week.
Hugs, Sharon

One of those days!

All started well.

Baking a cake for Miss Lily's party tomorrow.

Then I ran out of cake mix and sent Glenn out to get another.

Proved to be a difficult task as they were sold out of the one

I wanted in multiple supermarkets, what's the chances of that

happening, seriously?

So I had to settle for a strawberry cake verses vanilla.

More will be evident when I show you the cake next post.

My sewing Mojo is still MIA but I sucked it up and went to my LQS

this afternoon for my Glacier Star Class.

All I will say is "reverse sewing"- such a waste of time.

Needless to say Miss Mojo didn't show up.

That's OK.

I get home and Glenn has a Leg of Lamb in the oven.

Yum Yum Yum.

So after that I thought I had better go and do these Glacier Star

blocks to get this technique in my head.

I think this next picture taken at the ER explains it all!

Yes the blade was new.

So off to the ER it was.

Washed, glued, bound and finished with a needle, oh Yeah!

(Blood thinning injections and this injury don't mix well and I am kind

of over needles at the moment)

On the up side, no washing dishes for me for the next 5 days :o)

Here are the blocks that I was working on.

I had finished 8 of these

but only got this far on these.

They will eventually go together like this.

Better go, party planning still to do and I have just lost a few hours.

Have a better day than me :o)

hugs, Sharon

Initial Hearts and a Cake!

Initial Heart Swaps gifts are being sent and received all over at the moment

and mine arrived yesterday :)

I was very lucky to be receiving from Kaye over at Kitten Stitching

Very Spoilt as you can see.

Here is a closer look at my new beautiful framed cross stitch.

My new frames Cross stitch is going to live in my sewing space

so I can enjoy it each and every day.

Thank you Kaye.

Also arriving at its destination yesterday was the gift I send to

Maria over at The Next Stage

I decided to make Maria a Matryoshka Angel from

Rosalie Quinlan's book "Gift"

and added some yummy Creamy Milk Chocolates

with Praline and Crispy Wafer centre. Knew I should have

grabbed another one for me :o)

a Craft Keeper and some threads also.

And to finish off our day yesterday we got to enjoy

Birthday Cake

as requested by the Birthday Boy - Aiden

Looks good, even if I do say so myself but tasted even better!

Have a great day,

hugs, Sharon

Celebrations, rethinks and a bit of progress

Celebrations, rethinks and a bit of progress?

Witty titles are not my strong point at the moment :(

Miss Keegan celebrated her 10th Birthday yesterday.

Rainbow cake of sorts - yummy Vanilla and Chocolate

so the girls and I went out for lunch in town.

Thank you dear Primary School for having a pupil free day for Keegan's birthday!

We had a lovely lunch in a little Italian restaurant, just the three of us

and then we enjoyed some retail therapy ... 10 year old style!

Clothes, clothes and more clothes and the icing on the cake .... a One Direction Poster.

Happy Birthday Miss Muppet, So pleased you had a fantastic day xx

(I am still trying to work out where the last 10 years have gone)

My Favourite Things - SKOW

Not far to go now.

and the rethink?

Late last year I was in a Christmas Charm Square Swap.

When they arrived I started to sew up a picnic rug but never finished it.

I don't know what I was thinking, then or now because I started doing this at the weekend

and now I have this

104 5" charm square ready to go AGAIN

Now what to do with them?

I am trying to finish off a few things so that I can start a few more

(my attempt at being disciplined) I am also stalking my inbox as this is just about to start

and I am so looking forward to it.

Off now, it is not quite 10am, it's blowing a gale and I think I need to light the fire

and find something to help my sore throat and pounding head.

Once I get that under control I might be able to sneak back into my sewing space :o)

Oh, one last thing, see at the top of my Blog on the right hand side.

It's my Blogoversary very soon. Do you feel like a little give away?

OK, let me see what I can do :o)

Hippie Birdie Baby Girl

Happy 3rd Birthday Miss Lily

I am not sure where the last three years have gone!

You are an absolute joy to be around

and you brighten every ones day.

Yesterday we celebrated your special day with family and friends and every where I looked there were smiling faces. We could never ask for anything more, and what is a birthday without balloons, especially Abby Cadabby ones.

We all love you to "the moon and the pool and back"

(Lily added the "pool" mid summer)

The Cake ...........

Do you remember my "brief" from Lily?

"a rainbow Abby Cadabby cake, please mummy"

The cake was a HIT :o)

and I didn't forget about the rainbow part of the request :o)

Yum Yum.

Another birthday cake to be made today to be shared by us all this evening

.... maybe chocolate this time?

So many special pressies, but look at this one

She has been wanting a Sewing Machine for so long that she got a little sad when Santa didn't bring it, but that is OK now as Nanny and Pa have got her sorted :o)

I am so looking forward to teaching you everything you want to know.
