The cake..... and a little purse....

Hubz got his fathers day cake...

I had trouble with the chocolate drip - the melts just started to glug and it was more like plaster than drip ... still learning.....

Oh well.. tastes good and Hubz was happy....

I made this little purse for Shez's birthday....

It's a nice hand size ....

Tilda, hexagons, linen and pearly bling...

I made it using a pattern from The Quilters Angel... one day I might try out the mini clamshells!

I love these little kiss closure's you can get for purses nowadays... all sorts of colours...

Happy Birthday dear sweet Shez.... enjoy

I have made a start on this month's block for the Holly Cottage Stitch-A-Long..

There is still a bigger block to applique and do some stitchery

Righto, Gotto Go.... I'm quilting orange peels today....

I hope you have a lovely day

The weekend that was.....

That weekend went fast fast....

There was Friday night stitching.....

... and on Saturday morning I had a belated birthday/christmas/anniversary/whatever activity and went to learn some cake decorating....

something I have wanted to do forever but don't really like fiddly diddly things....

oh my gosh it was so much fun.....

... now I think I need a new stash of stuff so I can practice practice practice....

I completed a giftie and wrapped it up.... ready for posting this week.....

I finished up my block for the Stitch-a-long.......

... and I put the binding and sewed the bells on my Christmas banner - off into the giftie box it goes....

And best of all we went to the airport in the middle of the night and collected DD and widget who have been on a trip overseas....

... and now we are back to Monday....

PS the cake was provided... chocolate mud cake which is so delicious.... too much for us so most of it has gone off with Hubz to his office..... now I need to learn to bake a nice firm cake that doesn't crumb - any recipes??????

Righto, Gotto Go.. there's jobs to be done......

have a great week everyone.....
