A couple of things I've done recently!

Not having access to my sisters beautiful SLR camera since moving house has been a real sad thing for me. I loved that camera, I am really looking forward to being in a financial position to by myself one one day. In the move I also misplaced my point & shoot camera momentarily, but have recently found it again!

I took a few photos on my iphone of things I had been doing:

My first completed crochet project, which I forgot to photograph until after I'd wrapped it oops!! I began this baby blanket back in April, for a girl at work, I didn't manage to finish it until recently and the baby was well and truely born! I chose the colour scheme to match her nursery. I really enjoyed crocheting this blanket, one giant granny square is so easy and fun to do! (Underneath the present, you can see the tops of a brown paper perpetual calendar I decorated one night not long ago at Brown Owls. )

Last month, a lady at work approached me to make her some cupcakes for her mothers 70th high tea party. She wanted pretty cupcakes with flowers on top, with a pink and pale green colour scheme. I had free reign on what flavours to bake!

I used my favourite Lemon Blueberry recipe for these cupcakes, with cream cheese frosting, and topped with a royal icing flower and leaves.

These cupcakes were the very popular Lemon 'Diva' Cupcakes, injected with lemon curd, frosted with cream cheese frosting, and topped with tiny rosettes and leaves. The lady at work said the cupcakes went down very well, one lady even asked if they were ok to eat, as she thought they were fake!

My sister and I love going to the Brighton Car Boot sale on Sunday mornings. We hadn't been in a long time due to the weather being to miserable, but luckily enough last Sunday we had a beautiful sunny day for it! We both got some awesome loot (and cheap vegetables too!), but my favourites of the day had to be these pretty triplets:

I am also chuffed to report that I was able to buy 88 cans of cat food for the Hahndorf animal shelter with the cupcake money I raised, and my boyfriend helped me take them up yesterday. As a thank you, we got a tour of the cattery, and we were able to pat lots and lots of happy cats. We thought it might make us sad, but in fact it was good knowing that these people cared for these cats, and despite needing homes, they were all happy and content and well provided for!
