Soapy Clean.

These are some of my latest soaps that i have made, i ordered in some wonderful scents from Brambleberry in America( i have never smelled scents that are so beautiful we can't get anything like this here in New Zealand) and made several different soaps using those delicious scents, my favourite would have to be the oatmeal stout it smells good enough to eat.
Well Mother's Day came and went, my son Ben and his Partner Nicole came over for tea, Ben said it was the best meal he had had in ages so that made my day, they brought me a lovely bottle of wine, Ben was just getting over an awful flu and Nicole was just getting it and they still wanted to come over and spend time with me, i have such wonderful caring kids, Curtis and his partner Sarah phoned me to wish me a happy mothers day and they were off to the lake to feed the ducks with their kids,i couldn't have had a better day.
Well i had a brilliant market on the 1st may i sold loads of soaps, luckily i have been stocking up in time for my next market, i have 3 markets this month and have lovely new soaps thanks to my Brambleberry scents, everyone that has been my guinea pigs and have tried my new soap out have loved the new scents.
I had a phone call from a lovely lady last week she had brought some of my cupcake soaps from my market stall and wanted to know if i would be interested in selling some cupcakes to her so that she could sell them in her florist/giftshop, well she ordered 30 cupcakes from me and wants me to keep supplying her shop with soaps, this may not seem like much to everyone but to me it's fantastic, that's 2 stores now that stock my soaps it's a good start for me, it's great to know that people like my soaps enough to buy them.
The weather is getting colder now, last night i lit the fire i just love the winter its my favourite time of the year.
Well that's all my news for now I'm off to do some real baking, i found a delicious gluten free lemon cake recipe the other week it was a lovely moist cake so i am going to make another and a feijoa cake for Curtis to thank him for mowing my overly long lawns yesterday.

Digger cake redone yet again (perfectionist hubby couldnt handle it)

After listening to hubby go on and on about how the digger bucket was completely wrong and so on and so on .... i had to make yet another correction here is the re vamped digger cake, DONE....

OOPSIE.... Digger Birthday Cake (on wrong way)





Today i made a chocolate digger cake for Aunty Irene's partners 60th Birthday, after i had finished i took a pic and sent it to my hubby who works in a construction company, he text me back to tell me it looked like a tractor as it was on backwards, so after a few small changes the digger cake is complete and is now facing the right way, i know the bucket thingy is also on backward but now i don't really care I've played around with it long enough.(hubby just walked in and complained that it doesn't look right still, who cares!!!!!!

Felt Play Food Tea Time Cakes (my latest editions)










These are my latest editions of my felt playfoods. i have been sewing every chance i get so that i will have plenty of items to sell at my next market.
My next market is on May 1st it is the Cambridge Craft Carnival, held in the main street between 10-2pm. We have had some really crappy weather lately that has kept the people away from the last few markets i have had a stall at, so i am hoping that this weekend the weather will be lovely and the rain will stay away on the day.
