Bit of a late one today. I did promise myself I would try and blog every monday and every friday so here I am!

I am absolutely exhausted! I’ve spent all evening baking and icing. 24 cupcakes and too large cakes (which will become a victoria sponge tomorrow, I swear I make too many of those!) and that’s not including having to run to the shops a total of 6 times for ingredients I forgot or ran out of :S. I feel so happy to be able to relax! I bought a new petal nozzle in a decent size and I’ve improved no end yay! I didn’t but one of those rose pin things I just used a wine glass with a flat bottom. I think it worked just as well.

Yes that’s my fridge I am too tired for pretty photos and I was not sure I’d get a chance to take any tomorrow. Richard is coming at 10:30 (!!!) to get both sets of cakes. So up early for me yomorrow to finish. Oh and my kitchen looks like a bomb hit it. Not good!

I also finished a really cute gift set.

The lady that requested it wanted something that could go for a boy or a girl.

I’m too exhausted to blog any more. So I’ll leave you here.

You didn’t even notice I was gone did ya? Well I got back yesterday, got soaked in the rain and got totally lost lol. Those of you in the UK may have seen this on the news but a boy was stabbed in East Ham train station on Sunday night. I didn’t know this however and so when I was told the station was closed I proceeded to try and get a bus home. However, no buses were running through east ham at all! I couldn’t even walk directly because they’d got all the road blocked off. So I had to try and make my way down the back roads. I couldn’t get over the rail way tracks any where along that way so ended up in Barking, the next town over from where I live. Since I was there thought I might as well pick up a few bits, though I was soaked! Popped into tescos and got a few essentials. Walked off to et the bus and luckily didn’t have to wait too long, then as I got closer to home I saw my next bus behind me so I ran quick to get that. It never occurred to me to take a cab from Tesco’s but oh well. I got home safely is all that matters.

I do have somethingfor you though! Finally finished up writing out the Mary Jane patterns and it was such hard work I decided to put it up for sale here. You can purchase all three patterns for 3 pounds. That’s good value. For you US visitors paypal will automatically do a currency conversion at he right rate but it’s roughly $2 to £1.

Enjoy!

I had a marvellous weekend. We ate drank and were merry! We also visited Canvey island and I got a wicked tan. I tan very easily and it was very hot that day. I wish I thought to take a picture of my tan lines but the tans faded now as I quickly kicked off my shoes and rolled up my sleeves to even it out some.

The tide was high but we still had a lovely time watching the waves, chatting and eating ice cream.

There’s Robert. As I was taking this photo my mom’s skirt blew up and she flashed the whole of Canvey Island LOL. Luckily, I was so surprised I accidentally cut her out. Luckily for her any way. We all would have had a good LOL at her bum, hehe!

See how far in the tide is? Some crazy people were swimming in it but it looked a bit murky to me!

It was glorious weather though. Real hot but with a wind to take off the edge. Isn’t it funny how people enjoy drawing willies on walls (not pictured, I’m not that crude). There were masses of them drawn all along the sea front it was amusing.

A nicer addition to this wall was this poem. One day I will go back with some coloured chalk and draw something pretty. Just for the heck of it.

I wasn’t completely idle. A couple more booties and a camera sock after I almost dropped my camera on the beach :s. On the plus side I figured out putting a taggy on wool is actually pretty easy. So I may add it to more of my stuff.

I’ve got a bit of a headache so I’m gonna stop writing and go relax. I’ll fill you in on some more stuff another time .
