bake

Last Thursday I arrived home to a lovely and heart felt present from Cathie waiting for me. It was all just so nice and so very generous and it did actually finally get me into the kitchen. I will admit Chef and Busy did most of the cooking but I helped and took pictures. Cathie sent us some gorgeous cup cake holders ( they probably have a name but I do not know of such things) and some of her lovely little icing hearts and some gorgeous cookie cutters- a little family of people... so we made cupcakes and biscuits....

I think this is my best photo of the day, I think you can see where I got my inspiration from.

Thankyou Cathie so much, for the presents and for the ongoing inspiration, I hope I can be as good of a photographer as you one day. Mwah! xx

How do you say Mr Magillicutty in Spanish?

Mr Magillicutty is on the Spanish DMC thread website- I don't know what it says but I get the feeling it is nice because they asked me and from what I can gather they are using him to show an example of the french knot.  I still cannot decide if he needs a wife or a dog.... at the moment he is hanging on the wall watching me when I walk past....
Have you entered my pig lovers birthday giveaway yet? It finishes this Friday...You know how it says you need to be a follower well if it gets to 399 I will not cope as I have a fear of the number 9-( have I told you this?) it makes me feel like I am standing on the edge of a cliff - the anticipation is to much - (are you backing away slowly yet...) So if you are reading this and it is 399 and you are not a follower please put me out of my misery....
Oink
Speaking of manners did you notice the poll results? ( look up there on the right) I tell ya, I was shocked that people thought it was rude, really shocked and sat back thinking about all the people I had possibly offended over the last...long time....oh well.... *sigh*

...this post really seems to be going downhill quickly.... Busy is sick... it is raining and it is going to be a long day... had to cancel the high tea this afternoon, missing out on cake is always devastating....
