Perfect Peachy and So Exciting.

I have been bursting to share this news with you all for a looooooong time.  Dotty Angel and Ted and Agnes are coming to hopeandelvis.com.  Please, please go and take a peek at Louise's website to find out all the details.  If you leave her a message please tell her Miss Debs sent you.  You could also have a look on dottieangel.blogspot.co.uk.  How perfectly peachy.  I am so giddy.

Cakey Bun

At last I have got around to making our christmas cake.  I did cheat a little I bought the Waitrose mix by Delia.  It made up really quickly and easily and smelled devine.  I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Looks ok.  All wrapped up in a tin now waiting for a bit of alcohol and a layer of marzipan and icing.

It was a little strange making a christmas cake as my Dad always used to make the christmas cakes for all our family so I gave the cake an extra stir for him and actually thought abou him whilst I was making it - think he would have sniffed a bit at the thought of me buying a 'kit' though. 

As well as making the cake yesterday I also did a little dotty angel make.  I selected a few jars from out of my recycle bin, scrubbed them and then wrapped them in lace and doilies.  Few stitches to hold the lace in place and a hand stiched sentiment.  A little red and white bakers twine bow and all placed on a little old book rack.   I am going to attach some greenery when I get around to getting some and a tea light in the bottom Bob's your Uncle as they say. 

TTFN.
