Hello my dear snoopy friends!
So sorry I haven't been blogging lately but I am a bit busy these days. I have a lovely friend from Australia visiting, it was my daughters birthday on Saturday and well my boss is on holiday for 2 weeks so I am working 2 libraries! And as you know I am over 50 so juggling all this is not exactly easy ha, ha.....
Anyway I will be honest with you not much is going on on my desk at the moment but I do have a few photos to fullfill your need for snooping! It will be a long blog but I won't be writing much - just showing photos otherwise I will take up too much of your precious time - time you should be spending snooping around other desks!
So lets start with my daughters birthday and the cake I baked - it is a chocolate orange cake - it is a family secret so don't ask me for the recipe, I can only pass it on to my daughter!
My baby was 25!!!!!! Where did all those years go??? It seemed I just brought her home from the hospital!
My friend Annette from Australia did the fancy icing......
My daughter admiring her cake....
My daughter with her boyfriend....
Blowing the candles and cutting the cake.....
A hug for mummy......
A hug for my friend Annette......
The lovely quilt I got from my friend ....it is a Christmas table cloth.....I just love it - she has done a beautiful job - you girls out there that do quilting will agree with me....

A close up......
And now my little craftroom where I also sleep at the moment as I have given my bedroom to my friend....
And at last a card I made for my friend as it was her nameday too....
I will blog my daughters birthday card later in the day - I think you have more then enough snooping material at the moment ha, ha....Sorry if the post is so long, I promise I will be very short next time! I just had to show off a few things ha, ha
Lots of hugs to all of you

Pretty quilt and yummy cake!! Robin
ReplyDeleteHi (I always want to use your name but don't know if you want to give the game away and keep people guessing haha) Ooh that cake looks yummy yummy, love the quilt your friend is very clever and the card you made her is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMica powders are pigment powders such as Perfect Pearls, Pearl-Ex, if you've ever seen those, and lots more. Some you can just add water to to paint with others you need to add a binding material. They have a lovely sheen to them. Also you can stamp with Versamark then dab the powders on or add a little bit to ink, such as distress ink re-fillers and top up with water to make a shimmer spray.
Have a lovely day ;-)

ReplyDelete(((Lyn)))
your cake made me hungry. its a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so yummy. Looks like everyone had a great time, too. I know I'm late getting here today, but I'm staying in order this week after my computer decided to shut itself off last week and I had no idea who I had visited.
ReplyDeleteHaving company from Australia would be a big thing in my world, and I, too, would take time away from blogging. I'm amazed you even had time to post this and visit.
I guess (or at least hope) you got your plumbing problems straightened out. Happy WOYWW.
Thanks for the peek! Seems you are having a great time with family events and your lovely friend for a visit.
ReplyDeleteoh that yummy cake and such a beautiful christmas cloth...have a great time with your wonderful friend...hugs kath xxx
