Valentine's Inspiration...







                    





                      


               You can always rely on Martha Stewart for some inspiration whatever the season!!
All of the above have 'How to's ' on her website.
I wish I had more time in the day for making it all!
 Eye candy is soooo good for the soul.

Sew, what have I been up to?

Well, I have been keeping busy with a few projects....why I can't just stick to one I don't know!

My Ma bought me 'Sew' by Cath Kidston for crimbo, so I finally decided to make the bag that comes with the book. It's great having the cloth  already cut, you just have to work out how to make it!! ..............I got there in the end!

If you decide to line the bag,make sure you stitch the CK label on first or you have to un stitch the bag to get it on there....common sense is not my strong point!


Here it is....

It's a really lovely book to look at, with lots of great patterns to make.



I have also been baking more cupcakes...yes more!!  One of the girls left work and she couldn't have a send off without cake!


And finally some more Cake, only this time it was an early Valentine's cake for my family. The cake is Chocolate Fudge Cake which is very fluffy and light as it's made with sunflower oil instead of butter. The little heart jelly beans are from Marks and Spencer's.








I have also been busy with my crochet hook...more to follow!!!
