Sugary sweetness

Morning all!

Just sneaking in a few blogging minutes before the moonstruck household cranks into full swing!  I just have to say that I love getting up before everyone else and sitting with a cuppa checking into blogland.  Ah, the things that keep me happy....

Anyway, had a visitor yesterday and thought I had better make something to give as a gift...Im (quite surprisingly for me) into ice-cream pastels at the moment (must be all that sitting out in the garden, the sun is getting to me!) so had some strawberry pink felt in my crafty-bits box.  So I made this:



It had lots and lots of lavender inside so smelt divine


Loved doing the lace yo-yo, and of course another obsession of mine is buttons so I had a lot of fun rummaging through my button jars



And on the sugary sweetness front, just look at this plate of cakes my daughter and her friend H made last week:


These were served up to refresh my dear friend Sue and I on one of regular sewing get-togethers.  If you click here you can see an amazing creation that H made for her brother - a very talented (and, following the tone of this post I have to say a very sweet) young lady.

I made short work (after due admiring of the workwomanship) of this little beauty:



Enjoy the rest of the weekend, whatever it is you get up to!

    I adore your lavender hearts and that pink one is just so cute, mine is still being sniffed very (probably way too) often

    The heart is really sweet!, I can't wait until I get to have a little peace in the morning...my kids (2 and 4yrs)usually wake up full of life at about 6.30/7am! The cakes look super nice too x
