The Snow may be poor 🙁

But the sunshine is fabulous 🙂

At last I have finished reading my book Stolen by Lesley Pearse.

I really enjoyed it but do wish it didn’t take me so long to read a book, I started this one in August 🙁

I just find it hard to sit still for longer than half an hour.

Anyway a friend has sent me another book to read, One day by David
Nicholls, so this is packed in my bag and coming to Les Gets with me tomorrow.

I just hope my friend realizes it could be 6 months before she gets her book back 🙂

Although the snow is very poor at the moment so maybe there will be tons of time for reading 🙁

Watch out for the photo’s 🙂

For a while now I have been going to Yoga twice a week

Although I can see that it has been good for me I do find it very slow and always come home feeling very cold 🙁

This week I saw an advert for a beginners running course and I was very tempted.

After ringing for more information I was even more tempted 🙂

So my form and money have been sent and hopefully I will have a place for 6 weeks from 26th January.

I think it will be great fun and a good way to meet some new people

After that I may progress to the Lynnsport Ladybirds 🙂

Matthew’s Girlfriend was 18 over the weekend, so a good excuse to bake another Giant cup cake.

This time it was a chocolate cup cake with a topping and filling made from chocolate and fresh cream

The filling stayed all gooey and was totally divine 🙂

BTW the giant cup cake is aprox 25 times bigger than a normal cup cake.

Finally, after waiting since October, thanks to Matthew, I now have a Cath Kidston Apron.

It is not the one I originally wanted but this one is just as nice.

Next on my wish list is..  a tea cosy 🙂

For Christmas Geoff’s son, Steve and his girlfriend Renata, gave me  a JML Giant cup cake mould

If you know me you will realize this was a perfect gift for me 🙂

I didn’t have to wait too long for an excuse to bake one, as Emily’s 21st was just round the corner.

Its a whopper of a cake, taking a 1lb of sugar, butter and flour along with 8 eggs 🙂

It was such fun to bake that I am about to make another one !

Some time ago I was about to buy a knitted cup cake

When I suddenly decided, why not knit my own

So a search for the right pattern began, I finally found this fabulous book on amazon. called Knitted cakes ( twenty to make)

In it I found just the patten I was looking for and decided to knit it for Emily’s 21st birthday.

It was great fun to knit and to give 🙂

A Little girl I know is desperate for the Doughnut but that shall have to wait till after my skiing holiday 🙂

Mia, Geoff’s daughter in law, makes the most fantastic ,unique, stone pendants.

I am very lucky to own 2 of these pendants.

One was a Christmas gift, made from the beautiful river stones I loved so much in China.

All the pendants are individually handmade, one-off pieces – strung and knotted with strong thread in complementing colours.

Now you could own one too , and I could not think of a better gift for your loved one on Valentines day 🙂
