The BEST Baked Cheese Cake EVER

This is the BEST baked cheese cake EVER. The Blueberries were yummy too.
I'll post the recipe later.

There's a bear in there.

This is the bear costume I've been working on.
My Darling Daughter's dance school is in the Myer Christmas Parade as well as walking in the parade they are dancing on the Red Carpet too. So very excited for them.
So Melbourne people the parade starts at 11am & finishes at about 1pm. The parade starts at the top of Bourke St & ends at Queens St. Everyone come in and support this Melbourne institution.

 

 

How Cute is this costume I just hope it's not too hot on Saturday. The rest of the costumes are amazing.
It's going to be a great day.

A Story About a Top

This is the story of  lovely lace ( a curtain), a pattern from a time long ago(a time I remember like it was yesterday), a crafty mummy( that's me) & a fair maiden(my teenager).
The fair maiden was in a fit of despair she had nothing to wear, a trip to the shops was the only answer to her plight, "We need to go to Knox" she cried.  "Oh but sweet child" I replied "Never fear your darling mummy knows just what to do".(also the bank of mummy is closed) So to my trusty fabric stash & pattern box I went.
To find this Ace(cool 80's word) 1980's pattern & a lace curtain that I just couldn't part with.
So a very cool Lace Batwing top I created. The drama was averted & the mummy was once again the best mum in the world.
The End.

My book shelf

 As you may or may not know I read a lot, I read very fast, I would say I read like a demon; that's if demons read. I think they do.
A little while ago I promised to write a book review or at least a recommendation every week. Well things got in the way and I didn't do it.
So now I'm going too.
I was going to list all the books I've read since the start of the year but then I looked around the house to the places where books live & decided that a picture would do.  Then I'll just pick one or a series and tell you about it.
How does that sound?

Making - Softies

I've been making more softies. 
Tweaking the design a little,
it's been in my repertoire for a long long time but I can't tell you how long because that will give away too much.
Any way how cute is he/she?
I've listed this one in my Etsy Store.
