Log Cabin Cake...

My lovely friend Jen turns 22 on the 6th of January and it's become quite a tradition that she comes to my house on Christmas Eve Eve for lunch as a "pre-birthday" celebration. As I can't always spend the day with Jen on her birthday, I like to make her a special cake and this year was no exception! Last year saw the creation of a cheeky cat but my architectural cake skills have advanced since then so this year's challenge was a chocolate log cabin! Complete with tiled roof and our family christmas decorations. I think we were both pretty chuffed with the results!!!

Christmas Craft Fair...

A few of us at University decided to have a little Christmas Craft Fair to sell some of things we make in our spare time. I shared a stall with my friend Jen and we sold a range of festive goodies!

Christmas is just around the corner...well kind of...

It seems that many of you have finally seen the Christmas Coca Cola advert which means that Christmas is just around the corner (even though yes I know it is only mid November!) But I was thinking about tree decorations the other day and fancied a go at making one out of my good old friend, felt. I made a little robin, complete with wool scarf and sparkly red breast.

Four Dwellings Christmas Concert...

My lovely sister recently asked me for a little favour. Would I design a poster, programme and tickets for the Christmas concert at her school this December and they all needed to be black and white for easy photocopying. I was more than happy to and snapped up the opportunity! It was really fun and hopefully it'll add a bit of seasonal fun to the proceedings!

"Walking in a winter wonderland..."

I came out this morning to find these on my drive! They were so cute I had to take a photograph. That's one thing I love about snow is seeing which visitors have been in your garden especially the little foot prints that birds leave behind.
