Reblogged from meandyoulookbook: Most confections show their stripes only after they’ve been cut. This one from M. Robin Cakes gets the point across sans knife. Wondering where the frosting is hiding? The answer is inside. The outer layers of sponge … Continue reading
Reblogged from e1aine: Why has the word ‘like’ become inserted into sentences where no word is needed. On a recent holiday to Devon (yes I’m a bit predictable, we go there a lot) I queued with some lovely young girls, … Continue reading

I wonder how many of my very few readers have noticed that I haven’t been posting anything much of late? The reason I haven’t been posting much recently is because I’ve been pretty busy with Will, my lovely fella. At … Continue reading
I promised to post some pics of the recent workshop at Hobbycraft where I was demonstrating glass paints and doing a workshop. We painted some tiles which made a change from glasses though folk were offered the choice between a … Continue reading

(A cautionary tale about the use of household appliances in the vincinity of small animals) Years ago, we were living in a second floor flat and inherited a Parakeet who we called Derek, he settled in well and even started … Continue reading
Parrot Tulips have petals that are feathered, curled, twisted, or waved. Apart from that, the flowers are very large and brightly coloured. As a result, Parrot Tulips are extremely flamboyant. If you want dramatic tulips, these are a great choice. Parrot Tulips were developed from mutations of certain late-flowering tulips, and from tulips in the Triumph Class. Some are late spring flowering, and some are mid-spring.
The styling, the location, the couple, the table setting, the silver details, the intimacy, the feeling that the photographer has so perfectly capture, the whole scene, is in my humble opinion the best. My favorite couple shooting.. to date!

As well as making jewellery and tiaras…I paint plates too!
Painting the designs on the plates is incredibly therapeutic although I often find that the design comes alive as I go along…I don’t always end up with what I intended doing in the first place!

I was approved this week for my new apartment in Manhattan! I know, I know, try to contain your excitement for me. My move in date is May 1st and it is the first time I'll be living in an apartment that let's you own anything from a dog all the way down to a fish, and everything in between. Before starting this blog, let me take you on an adventure through the cavalcade (big girl word :) ) of animals I have lived among already so far.
Modern designs are offered for those little girls who also want to feel like a princess on your wedding day. This A-line, knee length, square neckline, tulle, sleeveless and zipper on the back flower girl dress is available from www.formalbridal.co.uk
Follow these commandments or I shall smite you. Totally kidding, I hardly ever smite anyone.

While I was in Sydney I spotted this fab window display in the Luis Vuitton store.
The designer/window dresser has done a brilliant job here both in the concept and application. There was a crocodile in the other window but it’s almost impossible to get a photo because of all the passers-by and I was lucky to get this shot at all.
Apart from the major designers and top-notch names, you rarely get to see a really good window display these days as most companys tend to have the same boring, corporate type windows everywhere you go which is a shame.
Window display seems to be a bit of a dying art these days (apart from the big players)….its a shame!
