Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

welcome to another mixed craft Saturday,

you ladies never cease to amaze me with your many talents.

I would to thank all of you for sending in your photos to share.

 

First up today we have Diane's Fabulous Retirement Cake, she has

made it for a colleague, Angela that was retiring.

I love how you have made the cake look like an open book,

with the ribbon down the centre as the book mark, it looks amazing,

I can see that you have added detail to the edges of the cake to make it look

like the pages of the book, the flowers in the top corners look really pretty

and do a great job of framing your sentiment, the butterflies are just the

most beautiful finishing touch, are the made from that Cake Lace paste?

Angela must have been so excited to receive such a lovely gift from you Diane,

thank you so much for sharing it with us today xxxx

 

Next up we have the gorgeous little cardigan, that has been expertly

knitted by Karen, I just love the pattern that you have used it looks

like a box weave type of design, it is just so amazing, a proper little boys

cardigan that would go with just about anything, the buttons match so

perfectly too, I would love to see a photo of the little boy wearing it.

Thank you so very much for sharing Karen xxxx

 

Last up today we have these stunning little boxes that look like the have

been decorated with lace, Margaret has been very busy making 60 of

these beautiful boxes for a friend that makes wedding cakes, the cakes have

been made to look like little parcels and will sit in these gorgeous boxes,

Margaret has also had to line every one of these boxes as well as

decorating them all so perfectly, they are all identical, its no surprise

that you have been quiet for a few days Margaret, I bet there is a

trail of little die cut bits all over your house!

I can see you getting many more orders for these Margaret,

thank you so very much for sharing the photos with us xxxx

 

Thanks for stopping by ladies, I hope you have enjoyed looking at

today's crafts and that maybe they have inspired you to have a go at

something new, I know I would love to make some of those boxes

for jewellery and of course when the time comes I would love to knit

for my grandchildren, but I am not quite ready for that yet!

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
