If you have not come across the beautiful blog of Sweet Paul and fancy a little photographic and culinary inspiration, then please do visit. It was this post which made me want to make Cake Bunting. Then I wondered if I had gone completely mad. I had a bunch ladies for supper on Thursday and thought it would be a fun table decoration – but it does make me think – surely I need to harness my madness for a greater good. Oh I don’t know perhaps world peace, or even a tidy house. Never mind. Anyway the mini bunting made me smile.
Some of my friends have commented on that the blog is a bit ‘cheery’. Yes sorry about that. People who know me well know that we have certainly faced and continue to stare at a number of rather ‘challenging’ issues in daily life. But this space is about the joy of making, sharing, looking and the things which make me smile. So to those who cry out for a reality check, here is a wee demonstration that Varnam towers is really a family home of random objects left in strange places and constant struggle against the tide abandoned objects. This is the photo of the other side of the kitchen on Thursday. It probably makes me smile the widest smile.
DD says that I have a “Martha Stewart gene.”
The good news is that it’s recessive – only rears its head from time-to-time. (Such as the immediate need to make mini-bunting!)
The bad news is that she inherited it, too.
Have a great week, Emma!
LOL!!! Lego, lego everywhere!!! I am the same Emma . I would much rather prettify a table and ignore those little untidy piles!!!
Happy May Day!
