Afternoon Tea

  

Hi all on this fab Jubilee weekend,

Just though i would pop by and show you what 

we got up to yesterday.

Beth had broken up from school a day 

earlier than Jack so we had a girlie

day baking.

In the afternoon the sun came out so we

decided to have afternoon tea

in the garden.

I wanted to road test my new Tea coszie

anyway.

It's quite a simple one just knit every row 

changing colours as you go.

I used up some of the wool left over from the 

spring blanket i made.

The pattern is out of the new 

Tea Cozies 3 book

Although the one in the book had 

5 pom poms around the top.

To be honest i couldn't be bothered making 5

so i just added one.

I wanted to use my new car boot finds

as well.

This pretty table cloth i got for £2 it's got 

coloured daisy's on it and is the perfect size 

for my square outdoor table.

I also picked up this fabulous Royal

Albert cup and saucer/plate. I have never

seen anything like this before and just fell 

in love with it, so had to have it.

It's the perfect size for homemade scones

which i must say were yum.

I had a go at making scones a long time ago

it was that long ago i can't remember but i

don't think the were very good.

Anyway i had just picked up a copy of a new

magazine out called Landscape and there

leafing through the pages

i came across some scones (that look delicious)

with the recipe so i had to try.

Fantastic, delicious, perfect 

and really easy to make.

I'll not be buying shop bought ones again.

Have a super long weekend

take care 

Eclair's as promised

Hi there here you go then

they turned out alright.

I made 6 Eclair's and used the rest

of the mixture to make 

profiteroles.
They just need cream and chocolate now.

I also made some cupcakes while 

the oven was on.

I am really chuffed they 

came out well and they 

taste good as well.

Though not good for the waistline.

Thanks for looking

Crochet Bag

Good Afternoon hope you are well.

I'm going to share with you today my latest

crochet project, i have just finished it 

last night.

I wanted to have a nice bag to put

my crocheting in, 

instead of the plastic carrier bag

i normally use.

So what else could i do, i had to crochet one.

This was quite easy to make as it is 

squares crocheted together.

The hardest part was lining it, but well

worth it.

I had quite a bit of wool left so i made a matching

cupcake pincushion and topped it with a little 

rosette and leaf.

It's great now i have a posh bag to 

put my next project in, what can i make next

hummm!
i think i might make a scarf for winter.

So watch this space.

Camper crazy

 

Hi all hope you are well, It's a bit

sad here today, the kiddies Hamster

Mel isn't doing very well (old age)

i don't think she will be with us much longer,

So they were feeling sad this morning, bless.

 

on a lighter note i have had

a play finally with my camper van stamp i

got ages ago, it has never even been out of the 

packet so i think it was about time.

 

Over at I Heart Promarkers challenge this week

they have a theme of Travel/ Transport. so that was

my excuse to have a play.

I have used a mixture of Pro and the new Flex 

Markers to colour it in i hope that still counts.

The background paper is an image

i got off the internet.

Sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Magnolia doily flower.

Martha Stewart branch and flower border punch.

Inked around the edge with Warn Lipstick distress ink.

I am also going to enter it into this weeks 

Creative Inspiration - Anything goes.

I felt like having a bit of a bake yesterday,

i got a new nozzle and wanted to try it.

The nozzle is great, looks so professional,

it's a Wilton Rose 2D.
all i did then is give them a sprinkle
of edible glitter. 
No doubt they won't last long with my three.lol.



Thanks for looking today
Take care

 

I have just checked on Mel now

and she's gone to heaven.

Here they are Yum! Yum!

The muffins are chocolate marble cakes with

chocolate butter frosting.

  We made butterflies and

blossom flowers out of icing and sprinkled 

edible glitter on them.

Beth then decorated the cakes.

Yummmmmmmm! 

going to have one in a bit with my evening brew

can't wait they smell sooooooo good.

Have a great bank holiday weekend.

Thanks for looking and i hope we

haven't made you to hungry...Lol.

Ribbon Cupcake pin cushion

Hi all hope you are well, i have 
been crocheting again and  i

made another cupcake pin cushion,

this time i have topped it with Cherries and 

curly leaves.

I have added a matching ribbon and

had a go at singeing the ends to make it curl,

but i'm not sure it looks right, but anyway 

i'm going to enter it into the challenge 

over at the Ribbon Girl.

They want you to create a new

project that features ribbon.

My ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl.

Wool and pins from stash.

Sneaky peek and Gala

 

Good afternoon all hope you are well,

Just popped on to show you a sneaky peek from 

Teddy Bo and Co for next Tuesday

12th July.

It's Bea on a cloud.

Which gave me the opportunity to finally

use my Grand oval dies from spellbinders,

I've only had the 2 months.

I made an oval easel base card.

Using my copics i tried a sepia look

  to the colouring but I'm not sure 

if i like it or not, it's harder than you think 

just using one colour although a bit of 

red did creeped in.

The papers are from Raspberry Road.

I have used Vintage photo distress ink.

The flowers and leaves are made using

the wavy rose die from Marianne Creatables.

I have also used a sentiment from LOTV.

It's our village Gala today and i have just been

to the end our our road to watch the procession 

go by. Beth is in it with guides they are dressed up

as characters from Nursery Rhymes

Beth is the baker from Pat-a-cake Pat-a-cake.

I have just popped back home to 

Publish my sneaky peek and thought i would share 

a few piccies of her as well.

She has had me making crochet cupcakes 

for her to carry, I have sewn them onto a paper

plate so they won't keep falling off.

Been scouring the interweb for patterns 

with a bit of playing around

came up with these. 

She was well pleased,

i don't think I'll get them back.

Oh well just enough time now to have a brew before 

i have to go to the playing field to pick her up.

I'm sure she will want to go on the fun fair.

Surprise

Good morning all hope you are well,

Thought i would show all you lovely ladies out there

what i made yesterday.

When i was out doing the food shop this week

i was having a browse down the book isle

when my eye caught sight of a pretty

pink book.

So on picking it up to my delight discovered it

was a cookery book.

Even better was the fact that it was a 

cake cookery book.

 So of course it made it's way into my trolley.

Having the kitchen to myself yesterday i had a

play, started simply with the vanilla cupcakes

and change the frosting to a chocolate one.

I did make 12 but as soon as the kids got home from

school, well you can imagine.

I thought i would give one to my Mum so 

Beth and i made this box to put it in.

We used another one of those cute

Tatty Teddy bears with cupcakes.

Beth coloured the image in with Polychromos pencils 

and blended with sansodor.

I made the box using my scor-pal,

put a false bottom in and cut a hole

with a nesti circle for the cake to stand in.

Edged with Spun sugar distress ink.

made the Flowers out of punches and the rose out of 

a Marianne creatables die.

I also used a Martha Stewart

heart scroll deep edge punch.

The sentiment is computer generated and cut

out with a Go Create tag die.

Hope I've not made you dribble on your

keyboard, yumm! they do taste good though.
