Star Wars ATAT Cake

Me: Big E, what type of cake do you fancy for your birthday, how about an Angry Bird?

Big E: Hmmmmm, maybe

  
Husband: That is a bit easy, how about a Star Wars cake

Big E: Brilliant Idea, I want an ATAT cake


Me: What is that then? (my memory of the films was poor...)

Big E: A big robotic dog thing that walks and everything!

Me: Not sure I can do that...

Husband: Of course you can!!


So, for Big E's 6th birthday he got an ATAT Walker cake!

Husband made the legs and I detailed them and did the cake bit. It turned out a bit rough but they were dirty and bashed up in the films!

I'm in this film!!
 For his party we put two indoor fireworks on the front...


The kids loved it!

I dread to think what he might request next year...!

I like Tying the Knot one

I will re draw tomorrow morning (GMT) if it has not been claimed!


I think I maybe have the best friend ever!

I got a surprise parcel in the post the other day, 4 remnants of gorgeous fabric! What a fab way to cheer up a day that had so far been spent cleaning little e's bedroom carpet and rug as she had been sick on them...nice.


Along with these was a note from my oldest and bestest friend, saying she had seen the bargain bin at her local fabric shop and thought of me. Looks like I have not kept my fabric obsession well hidden then...!

I plan on making something for 'super friend' and who knows what the rest will turn in to, although I have a hankering to recover my computer chair!

I heart macro - a stomp around the garden

After the chaos of moving house I have finally had a few moments to get snapping some macro shots to join I heart macro again!
studio waterstone

It was beautiful last Sunday morning so a stomp round the garden was required!

I am enjoying exploring the new garden, and all the hidden treasures that are popping out of the ground now spring is in the air!

I adore the teasels, they are possibly my favourite thing in the garden at the moment!



The veg patch will be amazing, just need to weed it and get it ready for planting...


and as for the back of the garden, the first thing we are going to do is put in some drainage so the house isn't acting like a sponge for all the ground water!


We are collecting wood to burn, this bit looks pretty fab all frosty


 and on the other side of the garden everything was sunny!


Hope you enjoyed your stomp round the garden, who knows what there might be photos of the next time!
