Mother's Day

A little creation for my lovely Mother in Law for Mother's Day



As always in my creations, hearts are included in abundance!!! Photo not that great as done with the iPod, will try to take a better one later with my camera.

Had a wonderful pre-Mother's Day tea this evening as I will be face painting for 5 hours in the Terrace Restaurant at the Baltic tomorrow and so will not be home for a special lunch. Jeff and the girls worked so hard making Roast Pork dinner with all the trimmings. ( gorgeous crackling by the way!) I found it sooo hard not to get involved and kept getting chucked out of my own kitchen!!!


For pudding Chloe has totally excelled herself and made chocolate eclairs from scratch!!! We are going to have these ( she made 16 andthere are 5 of us!!!) with some strawberries and I can't wait!

To all the Mother's out there;

Enjoy being made a fuss of have a Happy Mother's Day!

Chloe's Mr Bean Birthday cake

Chloe set me a challenge of doing a Mr Bean birthday cake for her 13th birthday.Almost lost the will to live towards the end, but I really did do my very best! It may have a few changes that the Haynes hadn't detail. It is also a bit wonky in parts but I don't care, cos Chloe loves it!

Elisha's 3rd Birthday

I was made very welcome at Elisha's 3rd birthday last Saturday.Here are some of the faces that Elisha thought would look good on her family. They were all up for having something done!












































Everybody seemed thrilled with their faces, so I was a happy bunny!!!

Painting by candle light

What a fabulous evening I had tonight, a room full of kids awaiting face painting and airbrush tattoos and guess what ..... We had a power cut before it even started! It briefly came back on for a minute but went back off and continued to be off for the whole 3 hours! They could still be in virtual darkness even now... Who knows!

Anyway without my power pack there could be no airbrushing, but the face painting started in earnest, using the emergency lighting which was faint but it was just about doable. I did my best under the conditions but I hope the kids weren't too disappointed if the faces weren't to my usual standard! Hopefully I used the right colours in the right places,but who knows.... Nobody got poked in the eye and everyone seemed pleased so that's what counts!
Moto for today 'keep calm and carry on!'
What an awful journey it was there and back tonight as well, cold, wet and very foggy and that was just me! Night night!
