cake success.

Miniature seedlings & seed packets, a present for my sister-in-law, for her miniature greenhouse.


Well the cake was good, seeing as I didn't know what I was going to do it like right up until the icing was going on! the lego snakes didn't arrive in time so I had to make them out of marzipan, & I was pleased with how they turned out!
It was a very indiana Jones themed day, with a hunt for treasure in the garden first, then lots of indiana Jones lego to put together (daddys job, not mine).

As for putting the clay away for a bit, well, I've just opened an ebay shop as things are going well on ebay, so I have been making some more delicious minis. I have made some bagels, eggs in boxes, & boiled egg & soldiers mmmmmmmm! I have also started on the miniature greenhouse! will be adding those soon, then I have a new caketopper to start work on, so it looks like the spring cleaning (including the ever present ironing) will have to wait a bit longer!

Todays Happy thought; apparently, you can never have too much lego!-Harry age 7yrs 6 days

Visitor in the garden

Well, I was well pleased that I had got up early enough to get to sainsburys early enough to beat the rush ! (if you can call it a rush in Braintree) & just as I was about to leave,..... well I saw it in the garden!

Now I have got used to the squirrells, frogs, mice & even snakes over our first year here in happy house, but I was not prepared for a muntjac, jus wandering around poking its head in the greenery, it even looked right at us humans staring at it, 3 little noses pressed up against the glass in amazement! (that was the 3 children by the way) they loved it, we saw some of these at Centre Parcs last year, so they were well impressed!

no happy thought today, got to get children ready for bed, will do 2 next post!!!
