WOYWW

Happy Wednesday!

I have a busy week this week - a big birthday to celebrate with a 70 year old!
He will hate me for telling you but what the heck - at our age we are lucky to still be alive and kicking!
Yesterday I baked a cake and following Ben's instructions iced it and put a railway track and a model train on top (Edward from Thomas the Tank) - along with 7 candles one for every ten years!!

Here it is....


It won't win any awards but will taste good and Ben and his Grandad will love it I am sure!

As you can imagine - not much time for crafting other than my latest  twiddlers...




That's my lot for this week.
I hope you haven't got too much snow.
None here but the wind is cold and the skies are a bit heavy at times.

Have a great week.

xx Jo

Just a sneaky peek at WOWYW


I am half way through cleaning my oven-YUK! So while Mr Muscle is doing his bit ( and I mean the chemical product not my other half!!) I thought I would show you my table.
Yes, its covered in bridal fabric and trimmings. Also - just peeking out from under some voile, you can see the little dumflings that Wipso and I made on fun day Monday.
They are far from finished so I will not reveal all - just to say that, hopefully by next week, we will have added them to our other items and loaded up our bridal shelf in the blog shop.
Fun day Monday was a giggle as we were joined by Paula via the webcam - it puts video conferencing into a whole new dimension!!!!!!! We showed her our dumflings and she showed us her Cuttlebug!
Now dear WOYWWers I would like to share this little cake with you all. Its a scrummy rich fruit cake (Nigella's Christmas cake recipe). Don't look too closely at the icing - obviously my skills in crafting don't extend quite that far! ( Well we can't be good at everything!)
So, pull up a chair, grab a coffee and have a slice of my daughter M's 30th birthday cake.
We had a great day together with a bit of retail therapy, a little plotting and planning for her new garden and then a lovely meal out, to end the day. Where did those 30 years go? It doesn't seem five minutes since I held that tiny, precious little bundle in my arms. Now she is a beautiful, fun-loving and highly competent young woman.
Well folks, my oven buzzer calls!
Have a great day and if you want to see what the other WOYWWers are up to the pop over to Julia's blog to investigate.
