A stocking for Rubén

Well as you know this year we need an extra stocking in our house for Santa Clause to fill!! I was looking around for a nice cute stocking for Rubén but couldn't find anything I really loved in the shops so I decided to make him one myself. I had a plain stocking so a bit of felt, sequences and buttons later I had exactly what I was looking for...

This is the stocking before I set to work...

... I then cut out Rubén's name from felt...

...added some sequences, buttons and embellishments.....

...stuck everything down and what do ya know??? We had one groovy stocking :) Now I wonder what Santa is going to put into it!!!

Mum is all about Christmas...

My Mum loves Christmas...everything about it..the Christmas carols, mince pies, sending and receiving cards, visiting friends and family, Christmas shopping the list goes on but this year she has discovered another fun part of the festivities...dressing me for the season...check it out...

...so first she bought me Christmas shoes...and look...I had to pose for the pic in my vest and shoes!!!

Then she got me Christmas PJ's....ah in fairness tho I am very cute am I not??!!

And then what she says is her favourite ....my reindeer outfit......its so snugly for all the walks she takes me on. Happy Christmas everyone, Love Rubén xxx

Decorating for Christmas..

So this year I wanted a pink a white something!!! Like not a whole Christmas tree but maybe a mini tree...well...... my trusty twig lights came in useful yet again!!! I have had no time at all lately but I did manage to find a few minutes over a few days to make some decorations and put this tree together...so lets see this is the tree before hand......

....here are a few festive cupcake decorations I made with felt and sequence to hang on the tree...

...and here are some boring but cute Christmas shapes that needed some pimping up....

...... post pimping.....

...and voila......sooo pretty!

Thanks Arnie :)

Rubén has just been given so many gorgeous pressies, our friends are just WAY too generous. This pressie is one of my favourite and was made especially for him by Arnie...doesnt it just look too cute hanging on his bedroom door?

N for Nathan

Celebrating Halloween a little late!

Ok so if your wondering why my blog has been totally abandoned for weeks now you see the reason why! A certain mini Curran has arrived and been very busy taking up all of his mummies time! Well I did have a sec to try out his Hallwoeen booties and get a quick pic...well just about!!

Halloween

Well as you can all imagine I didn't expect to be around for this Halloween but a certain mini Curran wasn't playing ball so here I was not ready for Halloween at all with no decorations or anything up!! I flew to Lidl earlier and picked up some goodies for the kiddies and that was about the height if it. Check out the little outfit I had all ready for its debut...... Oh well....





...don't think these booties are gonna be needed either!!! :)

Working on some letters...

Ive been busy all day...I had some letters to do....I just wanted them to be done and ready in case little baba Curran decided to make an early appearance...No such luck tho!! Have a look and see which is your favourite :)

M for Marisa.....

L for Laura...

U for Una....

Thanks Nicola :)

Oh have I just not got the kindest friends ever? Look at what Nicola brought me this afternoon when she came to visit....she just knows me tooo well!! I cant wait to try out a few new recipes and send them into work for her to try out! :)

Afternoon tea for some friends

I'm having some friends over for a cuppa and a chat this afternoon so I baked up a few goodies for them....its also a great chance to showcase my fab new cake platter :) So we know I'm a sucker for pretty Tupperware but I actually seem to be moving on to cake platters and cupcake stands!! I now have three different cupcake stands and god only knows how many cake platters but in my defence....how often do I bake so they are a total necessity right??!!

Hey what do you think of my mini sponge cake bites?? I gotta hide them from Gareth I reckon!! :)

Another birthday cake....

So I had an order for a birthday cake, this time a 30th birthday cake for a guy called David.....his wife gave me no direction apart from the number 30 so I could do what I wanted really. Sometimes this can be a good thing and a bad thing.....I got thinking. OK guys like cars......maybe a race track with spectators standing in the grass....this is how it turned out...

...a close up of the track...

......on stand-by......an ambulance, a police car and a fire truck.....

...and the little spectators having a good look...I coloured some sugar yellow and stuck it to some yellow icing to give the impression of sand...there is sand at a race track right??!!

Thank you cards

So I have been busy making some thank you cards for my wonderful friends and family that came and spoilt me at my Baby Shower. Just another project to pass some more days during these last few weeks that seem to be dragging along!! :)

A pressie for Melody

Last month I went to Melodys baby shower........we had such a lovely afternoon chatting and eating goodies. I made her this little picture for her nursery which she has just done up so beautifully. She knows she is having a little boy and we are just dying to meet him ........not too long now Mel!! x

A cake for Daniel

I also had an order this weekend for Nula's Kitchen.....It was a birthday cake for a little one year boy called Daniel. His Mum Claire didn't really mind what I made but she liked the idea of a train which I thought could be really cute so I set to work..........a few hours later full of multi coloured frosting and a very messy kitchen this is what we had....

A detail of the little carriages carrying all the goodies...yummy!
