Tiah's Birthday Cake


A friend of my husband's asked me if I could bake and ice a birthday cake for his daughter whose 12 today.  As always I asked loads of questions about her and what sorts of things that she likes and we decided on horses so this is what I made for her.  Her Daddy was really pleased with it when he picked it up tonight!

Sandra's Birthday card March 2012







I made this card for my dear friend Sandra, the little girl is from the Simply Adorables range of digital stamps from Sugar Nellie Kraftkits shop. I had such a good time making it and saw the design on another blog and made my twist on a theme!! I dont think anybody will mind seeing as I have no followers and nobody looks in on this blog!

Walt's 80th Birthday Cake


















I used to make an awful lot of cakes for friends, family and acquaintences when my husband was stationed in Germany; wedding cakes, christening cakes, birthday cakes, you name it I did it and thoroughly enjoyed it. At one point I was even teaching cake icing. This was great for expressing my artistic leaning and tasted good too! My cakes were fun, thoughtful (I always asked what the recipient liked, fav colour, hobbies etc) and made with a lot of love. Not once did I get a cake returned or a complaint. I miss this but have moved on to other things now.

MARY MAXIM TOTEM POLE CARDIGAN







For years Ive wanted to knit this cardigan but Mum thought I was crazy cause its a man's cardigan. She knitted it for my brother when he was in his very early teens and I always loved the design so this past year I decided now was the time before my hands packed in completely! I used chunky acrylic yarn and it knitted up really quickly. The worst job was finding a source to buy a zip for it!!
