May is the busiest month in our house by far. Every year I suggest hibernating through it! This year, I had my sons second birthday, my sons ninth birthday, my husbands birthday and my daughters first dancing show!
That's not to mention the countless other birthdays during May, dress rehearsals, work etc!
So, this month the sewing has had to go on the back burner so that I could make birthday cakes. I did manage to make a Pirate shirt for my littlest boy to wear to a 50th birthday party also in May! (In the picture the red dress I am wearing is the first thing I made in 10 years!)
The first cake I made was a football shirt for Matt. He plays for a local football team and luckily his number is 9 so it made it a perfect cake for him. The following week I made a Noddy car for my youngest. Noddy isn't great but I was really pleased with how the car itself looked. Finally last week I cooked a more grown up cake for my husband, a Guinness cake. He was a bit dubious to start with as he doesn't like Guinness but the cake tasted gorgeous!
Now its back to the sewing. I have just dissected a skirt of mine that was too big and I'm hoping to make a coat for my daughter.
By the way, I also got a mention in the latest issue of Sew magazine. imagine my surprise flicking through it with a cup of coffee and there staring back at me is a photo of my youngest in the pyjamas I made for him!
