Cup Cakes

 Tea Party!

Allsorts

(This should have been posted last week! Silly phone.)


This week has been a week of allsorts.
Weather wise we have had everything; cold, wet, windy, sleet, snow and sunshine. Just wish it would snow to get it over with and start on spring already.
At home, I've cleared a bit, moved a lot, rearranged a lot, yet it never looks tidy. I made mini chocolate fudge cakes for the first time, and they were delicious, even Lyle said so.
I'm waiting on a friend coming to take my tumble dryer. I have used this around 10 times in 6 years. I had to un-wire it, pull cable through worktop, pull and haul and pull a lot more as the back "legs" were stuck between where my black flooring ended and some scrap flooring as we didn't have enough to make a great finish. But no one sees under the appliances do doesn't matter. I rewired the plug and I am proud of myself. First time and all is good :)
I have been busy finishing the baby wavy blanket. It just now needs a border and to tie in all the lose ends.
It is currently 75cm long and will end up costing around £30 for the wool.
My manager asked me to make her girl something for her birthday in just over a weeks time. I'm thinking some cakes for her dollies tea parties. I have a load of wool here to be used up, so I am not charging, but hopefully they might generate a little interest.

Some great ideas for HP parties.

E.T.A. spell book ideas

http://dirtandsunshine.com/harry-potter-party.html  - some different books/labels. can print double sided ok.
http://www.piecesbypolly.com/2013/10/harry-potter-printable-spell-books-sew.html - no sew book cover using the above spell book

http://zitzmanfam.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/harry-potter-spell-and-creature-books.html  - cant get it to print on both sides so taht it comes out good, but if i glue the pages together it looks good.

http://www.lemonsqueezyhome.com/2012/01/harry-potter-spell-book-printable.html - using a photo book to insert the spells, looks good, will be expensive for 20+ kids
