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!!
