Bees with hats, whatever next!

I have been playing with Santa hats, somehow the bees got in on the act, but I think they look rather cute, available to order in my Etsy shop right now!

Bees with hats

Made to order in the shop

Then the snowmen got in on the fun and ended up with hats too....

I did have a little play with relief style reindeer too, the frit is gorgeous and from Vickie's Emporium you can find her on FB just click the link, this frit is called Carnival, its bright and fun.

Have a great weekend, I am off to the Community Farm Open Day Christmas Fair tomorrow and taking with me some fused glass decorations

Its not the best photo as this one was taken on my phone, what comes back with me will find its way on Etsy next week.

It's never too early

I find Sundays quite hard too blog my routine disappears and we usually have something going on, yesterday was no exception as the hubby and I went to Bristol to see a friend who has just moved into a very nice bachelor pad and meet his newest granddaughter a gorgeous 4 month old baby girl who gave enormous smiles and reminded me that although lovely babies are hard work and I am definitely more comfortable caring for hairy dogs and dribbly cats!!

I did a little bit of shopping and brought this enormous bag of spring bulbs. Tulips are one of my favourite flowers they remind me of when I was little and lived in Holland I still remember looking out of the window to field upon field of colour and nodding heads the Tulip ones.

Although Holland is famous for these beautiful flowers they did in fact come from Turkey. I love Tulips, I might be wishing away time but the thought of them next Spring makes the dark months more bearable I just have to plant them!

Calorie free cake

My cooking skills are legendary, the tales of smoke alarms going off and the children arriving at the table for dinner amuse many a guest, those that dare brave the idea that I might cook...its ok though these days the hubby does all the cooking, and shopping, both of which I am remarkably useless at. Family members love to reminisce about the time I cleaned the cooker/fat fryer/kettle and they blew up, or the time when I cooked a slug on the hob..by accident...and filled the kitchen with smoke, or the time I lost my temper and threw a buttered crumpet in the air where it stuck to the ceiling butter side up and refused to budge, the stain of the soaked in butter is still there to this very day and I can assure you that the ceiling has been painted several time in 20 yrs! I moved out 18 yrs ago but the house was a tied cottage and owned by my friends family so I still get to hear about the 'buttered' crumpet stain!

But. A revelation. I have made cake that LOOKS good enough to eat, you can't eat it though, just like my 'proper' cooking it is totally inedible, but it looks fab....
