Is this the new trend?
I think it is. The Pension Centre where I work recently celebrated 10
years of being opening, which is quite scary as I will have worked there for 10
years in October! Anyway, we held some
celebrations and I made some cake pops for the buffet. The theme was countries and we did Greece as
a team. I picked up lollisticks from
Hobbycraft as well as blue chocolate, yes blue!
I had treated myself to a proper cake pop machine to make a proper cake
rather than getting cake and using frosting or cream cheese to bind together,
mainly because I have to restrict my dairy intake. I then used icing to make the Greek flag.
I have been doing a lot of knitting recently and especially
scarves. I found this simple pattern in
the Create and Craft magazine, and have managed to find lots of colours to do
it in. The picture below is in a purple which
has strips of gold thread running through it.
I got the new Paintbox Poppets from Crafters Companion, and
do adore it, the images are fantastic, I also got it in time to make my cards
for mother’s day
Her e is the card I made for my father in law’s 75th
birthday last month. I used Docrafts
Forever Friends Retro CD. I had taken out a subscription for a digital magazine
and that was the free gift.
I entered a card into a Nitwits completion that I saw using
some of their digi kits, and must say found it extremely difficult to choose
which kit I wanted!
Finally here are some cards from my archive.
Some other news, I have decided to change they way my shop will operate and will be
in the process of changing things over, if you want me to make you anything
then just contact me through the blog or email me at kcardsandcrafts@live.co.uk Things are still hectic and my father in law
is still very ill so if I don’t reply immediately please be patient.
