Wow!



I get home from work to find my blog followers have doubled to 21.  That is a BIG jump!  Thank you very much to those who have joined me.  Let's have a cake to celebrate.  Aren't they pretty?  Gosh - I love making cupcakes and they turn out looking quite professional - but these little darlings really are the bees-knees of fairy cakes.  They look far too good to eat...... and I simply don't have the patience required to faff around to that extent.  I wish I knew where I'd nabbed the photo from, as I'd love to tell you - sadly it's one that I saved aeons ago.  (I have a whole file of pretty cake pictures ready to send to facebook friends on their birthdays).

I really do hope I have visited all your blogs too, and followed you back.  If not, please don't think I'm ignoring you - it's an accident.... bing me, and I'll get over to you pronto.

I'm so pleased that Lily's Quilts came up with this meet-up idea.  It is so hard otherwise! 

Giddy with success at reaching 21 (it's actually 20 - as one of the followers is me.  I felt like Billy-no-Mates with none!)  I shall say Cheers, me dears! and go and replenish my wine glass.

Looking forward to following all the new blogs I've found.

    Those cakes certainly look pretty (and almost too good to eat)!

    MY followers increased by eight in twenty four hours so I guess we both won't qualify for Lily's Quilts next SNBMU! Congratulations.

    You are so funny! If I had thought to "follow" myself I would have, too! And how fun that you send pics of cakes to your FB friends. Good to see you again!

Autumn Giveaway Time

I'm more than a trifle ticked off with Blogger. My post of yesterday has vanished into thin air during the day - and I haven't been near a computer. It was the first time I'd entered a post using the new interface, and I was liking the way it worked. Shame I didn't try a short post first, but no...... dibble decided to do a long article didn't she! Sniff. Back to the old Blogger me thinks. Anyways... I was thinking that it's been such a dismal few days - why not think of something to brighten the mood. Why not have a little giveaway? Trying to be a little different - I've come up with a little competition. It's quite simple....... How many buttons in the jar? I've no idea myself, so it will be interesting to find out. To give you something on which to base your guess, I can tell you I am able to hold the little jar comfortably in one hand. Also I have used a few of the buttons so the jar isn't quite full. So.... What do y

Shabby Chic? Definitely Shabby!

I did say I'd share my DIY disaster with you...... Brace yourselves - you may need sunglasses: Snort!  When I started the makeover I can assure you this wasn't my intention.  I had a 70's dressing table that was a nice shape, but a vile wood.  I thought I would transform it by painting it fuchsia to match my bedroom.  10 hours later (2 coats undercoat, 3 topcoat) it was looking good.  Until the top coat starting to flake off before my eyes.  I could have cried - indeed I think I did. Since then it's been sitting in the bedroom annoying me.  It's too heavy to lift out on my own, and anyways I've nothing else to replace it with.  The thought of starting to paint it again doesn't bear thinking about.  So in a DIY frenzy, I attacked it with wire wool. I think I got a bit carried away!  The result is something that gives a whole new meaning to shabby chic.  However, at least it looks intentional and boldly scruffy.  Anyone that dares to question my

Don't get Shirty!

My blog posts have been lacking the last few weeks.  This is due to moving home and trying to sort out the chaos.  One of the things required was that hubby thin down his clothing, or there would be no room for any of mine in the fitted wardrobes.  At the last count he had well over a hundred shirts.  Ridiculous.  Under strict instructions to free up half the wardrobe space for me, he set to with bin bags, to turf some out for the charity shops. With a large selection of shirts ousted, I started looking at the fabrics and wondered if I could make use of them myself.  There's a surprising amount of fabric in a mans shirt, particularly an XL one. After cherry picking the ones that were all cotton and nice fabrics, I sat down and scratched my head for inspiration. My first of two makes is this pillow.  When I began I had no real vision of what it was going to look like.  I just knew that I wanted to use some of the front pockets, and make a feature of a cuff or two.
