For Daniel's birthday we had a dessert night and everyone brought something to share. I made a banana cake, some muffins and a Mississippi mud cake. It was delicious, but by the time we sang happy birthday to Daniel everyone was so stuffed with food that hardly any of it was eaten. I will take the left over half to school where everyone else can eat it.

We also got to taste this wonderful ice-cream cake this evening in honour of a friends birthday. It not only looked great but it tasted even better. I want an ice-cream cake for my birthday next year please.
To celebrate my friends birthday this year, I decided to make her an owl pin-cushion because I know that she does a bit of sewing and cute pin-cushions always make sewing a little more fun. I have never made a pin-cushion before, but decided it wouldn't be too hard considering I had made a few owls before. It didn't take too long to make, and for my first pin-cushion ever I am pretty happy with the outcome. Maybe next time I would make the owl a bit rounder in the would-be stomach area and I would blanket-stitch the bottom so you couldn't see it. I might also put some kind of flat weight in the bottom of it to stop it from falling over, as I can imagine that could become annoying when taking pins out of it regularly.
Here is the owl posing in different places around its owners house :)
Aw, Clare, you're so cute with the little owl.
ReplyDeleteI had one wish for my birthday in Year 10 and that was an ice cream cake. And believe it of not, when I got home from school, there it was! Mum had actually found one and bought it for me :) And she put these cool, long candles on it. Or were they sparklers? Hmm, can't remember.
Anyways, happy birthday to Daniel, sorry I missed it.
Oops, 'of' should be 'or'! And by the way, I like the new jars of buttons layout.
