My doings ...

My little girl turned 8 on Friday

I have always wanted to make one of these cakes... I watched a Youtube video to get the idea of how to do it and then put my new found skills from my class into action

Laura loved it and so did her friends.

Ive also been doing some spinning


My spinning is of the thick and thin variety

As I do more it is getting more even... but I love the twisting and thick and thin effect and it knits up beautifully

The above photo is of  NZ Wool and also Alpaca which is beautifully soft.

I also made this hat... it is crocheted with handspun wool.... It is meant to be an owl.. my famiily think it looks like a monster!! 

I have also been working on a bag
African Flowers made with hand dyed cotton.. that I just LOVE.

The bag is going to be fab with these gorgeous colours.

Happy creating my friends

  2. Loved the cake. That is one of the best thing about birthdays - the novelty birthday cakes - the children just love them. You will get a lot of value out of your cake icing classes. Enjoy!
