Geisha.....

First things first..

The first Aus name drawn for the diary was Sue from Charlotte's Cottage (#7)

and the first overseas name picked was Sheila from Sheila's Quilt World (#6) so the book goes there

Mr Random looks like he was being lazy about choosing numbers

Congratulations ladies, please send your snail mail addresses and I'll get the diary/book sent

Last months book club book was Memoirs of a Geisha.... and the girls came round here for tea and to watch the video......  in keeping with the Japanese theme I made some sushi....

thanks Marina for the idea of pickled ginger to go with it.... went down a treat.....

..... in keeping with my sweet tooth I also served cupcakes ... they also went down a treat.....

chocolate cupcake and pink rosewater icing... like little turkish delight cupcakes....

(they are tiny mouthful size cupcakes)

"Geisha Girl" is the name of a favourite bush

a tough plant which has bunches of these bright flowers much loved by butterflies

My header picture is the fallen flowers all over the grass

During the film I did some knitting for a change

one of those fun fishnet lace scarves

On Sunday I fixed up a cake for Hubz to take to work to share with the team in the office

because they are office based I thought something healthy with fruit in it

A light chocolate cake filled with whipped cream and fresh strawberries and splashed with melted chocolate

Righto, Gotta Go

a whole new week to enjoy 

In keeping in theme with Geisha I really want to get some more of my Japanese blocks done
