Vintage Amethyst......

I have discovered another shop to pine over 'Vintage Amethyst'.
Just take a little at these babies........

So we haven't moved yet! It was meant to be last weekend, but things happened and we weren't able to get the keys....We are still waiting to see if we are going to get them this weekend. I am starting to feel very stressed about the whole situation. Moving is no good for anyones stress level.

Sometimes life doesn't always go the way you want it to. But then something else happens and you realise that you had nothing to complain about.

Last week we had terrible news and the person that I want to hug in my arms is too far away to be able to do so.

The new year should bring a feeling of hope and a fresh start and yet it always seems to bring such sadness. It makes you realise that you have to appreciate the good things in this world.

A gingerbread tale......

 

christmas and coconut ice....Nice!

Well I sure hope that you all had a lovely christmas. I had a very relaxing time with my family. Christmas day was spent at home with Harrison's grandparents, uncle and of course mummy and daddy.
He's too young to understand about santa, but he had fun playing with family and all of his new toys.
We ate a lot, drank not too much and enjoyed a relaxing time together, and that's what it's all about.
Normally we are all running around trying to guess what gifts everyone would like and it becomes so stressful, but this year we decided to just buy for the little fella.
This christmas he discovered trifle...seems he couldn't get enough of it, that along with the odd pringle and his advent chocolate!! Well it is christmas....if you can't be naughty then, when can you?!!

I made some more coconut ice, this time in the shape of hearts.............

I used a heart cutter to stamp out shapes before placing them in cello bags as christmas gifts.

It's late now, but I will blog about finding our new home and my gingerbread house tomorrow.
Early start tomorrow as we are signing paperwork for moving in the new year!!
See you soon. x

PrettyLittleHeads...

    So apart from stressing over christmas, baking, being mum to Harrison and trying to find a new home I have been working on my new designs for PrettyLittleHeads.
I thought I would share them with you.....

Lilibeth hair comb

Lucia hair comb

I have been working with really beautiful swarovski pearls and crystals because they have such a high lustre and make the pieces very luxurious. On your special day you want something extra special so I decided that I wanted to use only the best.

Little iced trees....

Having leftover frosting from my mince pies I thought I would put it to good use.I can't bare throwing it away. The trouble is I can never juddge how much to put on each cake/pie. I either have loads left over or some cakes are frostingless :(
 As I am not very skilled with the ol piping bag I discovered by accident on my last lot of cakes that if I use the star nozzle and just push down and not around the icing looked liked little christmas trees, so today I thought-why not make little cupcakes topped with frosted christmas trees.
So here they are.......

I used sugarpaste to make the hearts ....

The butterflies and baubles are from the dr oetkers range....

I added a little sparkle with some pearl lastre dust....

They were fun to make and eat!

Wednesday tomorrow.....only 4 more days and nights and then santa will be here!!
