Cookies, cookies and more cookies

You would have thought that by getting unlimited wifi at home my blogging might have increased.  As you can probably tell, that did not happen.  I have realised that I don’t do internet at home.  When I am at home and Little OL is awake then I will spend the time playing with her.  If [...]

More Teddy Bear’s Picnic photos

In addition to my first set of photos, here are some more.           All in all I was very happy with the way everything turned out.  I made almost everything, including the cake stand that the cookies are standing on… yip you read that correctly.  I will share details shortly.   

I cannot believe my daughter turns 2 this month.  Time really has flown.     Over the past two years she has grown from a tiny little baby to a very independent little toddler.  She does not like me to do anything for her. This includes dressing her, brushing her teeth and hair or feeding [...]

Something new

So I decided to try something different with my iced sugar cookies – to paint them!  I have seen it around and thought I would give it a try.  We have our art class end of year party this weekend – our theme was Berthe Morisot. I did not enjoy it and they did not [...]

A few more biscuits

One of my friends asked me to make some biscuits for her daughter’s first birthday party – it was ladybird themed.  I jumped at the chance – anything to be able to make the biscuits but then not to have to worry about eating them. Although the party was a Ladybird theme, she was not [...]

I received a parcel in the post

Yay!  I ordered a couple of books from Amazon.com at the beginning of the month and they arrived today…  Even better than Kalahari’s promised delivery time of the same books and cost nearly R200 less even including the shipping.     The packaging they arrived in seemed a bit of an overkill though….     Yes, that [...]

Now I need to bake more.

I get stupid excited about certain things!  Like bouncing of the walls (internally) excited.  Today it is the internet – more specifically stuff that I have ordered from the internet .  I love the fact that I can order stuff from ½ way across the world and it gets delivered to my door! My latest [...]

A sugary thank you

Here are my latest biscuits.  I made them as a thank you gift for my mom!  I would never have survived last week without her.  My nanny was not able to come in, and without my mom I would have been really stuck.  I had to go to Cape Town on business on Tuesday – [...]

wow

I have no words….  Look at this cake!   Yes, it is all cake and icing.  Once again all I can say is wow.   Go to Sweetapolita’s blog to see more pictures of this cake, including one of what it looks like cut – YUM! And yes, I did find it while searching for ideas [...]

Practice makes…

well, not quite perfect but a whole lot better than last time. Although I still could not get the navy.  Here are a few pictures of the biscuits I made for our board meeting.      so what do you think – a little over the top???  Or is that only after I put them [...]
