Life Keeps Getting in the Way!

My crafty days have been few of late (as has my blog writing and general contact with the outside world!) life just keeps getting in the way! Work, obligations, people pleasing…does not leave me with much spare time. I will endeavour to make some time though, it can be done! Especially after a my friend (faaaaabulous cake designer and maker extraordinaire @cakefashionista & www.cakefashionista.com ) confessed to an 80 hour week last week  - 40 to the day job, 40 to one helluva cake order – it’s there, I just have to use it! I have an enormous sense of wasting time at the moment and I want to turn that around.

The sad news of my friend and neighbour dying this week from a stroke aged just 49 also puts things in perspective. Life is very small.

On a lighter note, only in topic though, certainly not in calorie terms J half craft-half people pleasing occurred this weekend as I produced 3 dozen cupcakes for a friend’s 30th Birthday bash. (Courtesy of my lovely Making Cupcakes With Lola www.lolas-kitchen.co.uk book)

Chocolate Cheesecake - complete with buttery biscuit base :)

Vanilla Cherry Blossom - cherry and almond goodness!

Vanilla - nuff said!
