THIS MONTH

This week Fiona and I went up to the Felt Factory in Inglewood, Rosie and Poppy went with us as I was shopping for them. Rosie wore the outfit I planned to copy, and Poppy just wanted to check out which colour would suit her best. Just love seeing all the lovely colours, what did we decide on, that will be revealed later.  I also bought more grey felt as I am making Christmas mice at present.  The first one was my gift for the Guild Christmas party  and it  is a little different to the ones I am making now as they wont be sitting on a jingle bell. Plan is to make a set of five holding different items to send to the grandchildren in Wellington for them to hang on the Christmas tree. I visited them just  after Halloween and the house was still decorated, what fun there were decorations in every corner of every room and out in the garden.  I wonder what is planned for Christmas. 

I have finished the photo book I was making and look forward to seeing the finished result when it arrives.  I'll sign off , with a photo Taken for the book  of the dolls in their Christmas dresses

 I am now working on the dresses and props needed for some Christmas photos to complete the book.

The other birthday cake was a Salted caramel Cake- dark chocolate cake layered with salted caramel buttercream and topped with caramel sauce. Fiona brought it in on Wednesday for morning tea and it was delicious.
