Coming along nicely...

I havent posted for a while, been quite busy but I can't put my finger on what I have been so busy with, hopefully I'm not the only one like that.

The playroom is coming along nicely, all the furniture has been assembled and put up, I have made all the soft furnishings that needed making and am waiting for a few items I have grabbed from ebay and then all will be revealed.

I am quite pleased with myself for the items I have made, I am a novice sewer and before now had only made a pegbag. I have made curtains, a door stop and some book slings which I am most pleased with as they have saved me a fortune.

There have been a few new cake creations since my last blog update, some pics below...

At last...

I have finally convinced H that it is a good idea to make a start on the play room. I have bought the soft furnishings, well the curtains that I am going to cut up to make other things, and now need to drag him shopping for the heavy stuff.
I am hoping to one day have an entry on one of my favourite blogs http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/ so will see how the play room hacks come together, they might be rubbish LOL!
I have cakes to make this week and got started today, I have 100 mini cupcakes with a small cake at the top of the cupcake tower, I also have a toy story themed cake to make which I am very excited about, I love making cakes I haven't tried before. I will show it to my 3 year old before I give it to my friend to see if it passes the test, if she knows what it is then there is hope for me yet!.

Week off...

Hi, I have this week off from baking and have decided to create a playroom for my two girls.

I can't actually start the room as we have a guest but I can start shopping for the room, Wahoo!

I want to make a dress up area for them to use so am off to Ikea today for the ingredients to get me started.

This is the room that will be transformed.

looks like hell on earth doesn't it!

Luckily the bathroom has already been done and doesn't look at all like that anymore, this photo was taken the day we moved in.

The room is currently used as a guest room and has to keep that function but I also want it to be a playroom when its not occupied by guests.

Any suggestions welcome!

Busy Week

Wow! I have been busy since my last blog update.

I have made a 3 tiered wedding cake with 70 cupcakes a batch of 1st birthday cupcakes with a monkey cupcake for the dad LOL! and a Super Mario Bros cake for a friends little boy.....

I have also been busy getting jobs finished and started around the house.

I am creating a playhouse for my two girls at the bottom the garden. I aquired it from a friend who was moving and didn't want to take it with her, it was in a bit of a state and rotting in places so my H an I have had to replace quite a bit, I will write a seperate post on that and post some piccies.

I am also planning a playroom/guest room for rainy days which I am very excited about. will keep you posted.

Thanks for looking
