why boys bake....

 

I think the photo says it all......there was some left to go in the oven!

 

It was good to spend sometime with Tom with Violet watching closely picking up a few tips! the cakes were very yummy but I have had to hide some away as Tom thinks that because he made them he has to eat them all....

How cool are the new food colourings I picked up from Asda, this one is beetroot. I have always avoided artifical colours with the boys as they even the smallest amount sent them loopy but now we can have coloured icing & Tom choose pink!

ps..thanks guys for your comments on my last post, things have been such a struggle in so many ways and it was lovely to have such warm words & kind wishes....

the crew

 

My beautiful children without whom I wouldn't have been able to get throught these last few weeks...to Jake my wonderful boy who is gentle, caring & fantastic at snuggling with his sister & despite his lack of a role model will make a fantastic dad one day (plus you make great scones better than mummies but I'm not telling you that just yet!!), to Tom KING kisser...Violet is never short on love & kisses when Tom is around and who is and has always been my little whirlwind whiner & fantastic at the washing up...and to you Violet my wonderful scrumpious daughter, everyday is a joy & when I'm feeling low just one of your smiles can light up the room & lift my heart...

Thank you my dear little munchkins, I love you all so much (even when I am having a strop & put all your toys in the bin)......

As for crafting, sewing, baking & raking now the heating has been sorted I can get back to normal unpack everything & I will be back very shortly with some handmade inspiration.....
