Blossoms for love.

Blossoms how cute are they, I got to try out my new blossom and leaf cutters Yesterday. I also have some foam to work with them, I just don't have a ball tool don't laugh but I used the end of a hand mix it is a perfect round.

It has a few rough edges.

As I mention earlier today, I didn't being my cutters to work and I had trouble finding one at work to fit.

I packed them in a little white box with a window for my work mates in Hastings.

Slacker

First off, I just want to say that my heart goes out to Christchurch it is just devastating.

Okay I have been slack with posting but I have been creating.  This is a short one as I have to go to work but I do promise to bring more to you soon.

This is my first blossom flower I have tired to make and I was at work and didn't have right sized cutter to cover the tops. I was practicing so it doesn't bother me too much.

La Cornue, I Love You

We had a new cooker delivered this week, La Cornue it is the most amazing cooker I have seen. It is solid and made well. A little sneak peak it hasn't been fully built.

Because we had guests at work unpacking I got to make more cupcakes. Orange cake with Lemon butter cream. The spoon was a request.

Dollie's clothes

She is a little happy to have bottoms, it was a great relief to finally make clothes for Dollie.

Little cloth Nappies, I made them with terry toweling inside and a cotton print outside. (of course there was a cupcake cotton in my stash)

The sides are un-even which cracks me up no measurements here.

Candy stripes. Look at that little belly.

I had a little scrap of material left from another project and it was perfect for this little skirt. Which I added the lace at the bottom from a dear friend.

I also have added little hand stitched flowers to the shoes, she is still topless but not for long.

Order's Up

 Chocolate cupcakes and yellow icing was called for with Smarties, pebbles and whatever else you call them where you live. (they are hard covered chocolate)

So I have done a photo story while making them.

I missed the bowl and thought it would make a good photo.

Cooling down, this recipe gives little peaks I need to practice how much a fill them.

I had them all lined up as I piped them, little yellow soldiers.

The yellow was quite bright which didn't quite show in this picture.

That's more like it.

The order requested Pebbles. It gave them a fun side.

Ready for travel.

Woollie

Check out these beautiful colours, I love this wool and it's many colours. If you live in New Zealand and Knit or crochet you can check it out Here.

I love these colours, now I just need patterns to knit.

This is only one corner of the yarn Mishi Yarns stock. I love going into the store and looking at them, I would guess I have looked at the same yarns hundred times and yet every time they can look different.

Sunshine

There was some sunshine today, it has gone now and it is getting cold. If these don't make you warm nothing will.

They are banana cake and just a plain vanilla butter cream.

The star icing I have been practicing, it was something that I learnt last decorating class and now in the new class I have started two weeks ago.
