Anyway, that trauma has passed (for now) and I am trying to find a new kind of normal. Being a stay at home Mum with no kids at home during the day is strange. I have started to exercise more regularly and hopefully, if I stick with it, it will just become part of the routine. I need to get fit and loose 2 stone before next September when I am my Best Friend from School's Bridesmaid!
Enough waffle about me, now on to cake!
My Nephew was Christened yesterday and my Sister set me the task of re-icing a tier of her wedding cake for the day (not sure if it is a tradition everywhere to keep the top tier of fruit cake from your wedding cake for the Christening of your first child, but it is here!).
My Sisters wedding cake was of epic proportions (glass baubles and twinkling lights galore)...

I quilted round the outside using this technique and make a teddy and blanket for the top.
My Sister made crispy cake and then they were cut in to squares and iced to make the blocks. The balls round the outside were a good alternative to ribbon (that we didn't have enough of because of the hugeness of the cake!).
Surprisingly the cake tasted amazing given that it was made 4 years ago! It was strategically cut by my Mum so there is a Christmas Cake sized piece left, my Sister will have to decorate that bit herself though :)
Back soon with pictures of a few dresses I've made (one of which may or may not make me look pregnant which I am definitley not!!).
Linking to some of these linky parties!
Glad to hear little e is doing better for now. I hope it lasts! You could always talk to the teacher to see what they think. Experienced teachers have probably seen many children like this and probably some really hard-core troubles too.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your new dresses!
So sorry to hear that little e was finding big school tough, and I really hope she's through the worst of it now.
ReplyDeleteYour sister's wedding cake was amazing! Much too fancy and artistic to actually cut into and eat! Love the little bear you made - he is too cute :)
Can't wait to see the dresses you've made!
I LOVE what you have done. You should come show off your creativity starting at 8PM CST at Craft Frenzy Friday! http://obsessiveandcreative.blogspot.com/2013/09/craft-frenzy-friday-6.html It won't be a party without you!
