Pink buttercream roses

Amy has been a bit deflated this week (probably after all the excitment of last weekend’s ballet show) and so yesterday I thought I’d make her something nice to cheer her up.

The trouble is that of the nine I made only these two ended up looking like roses. Still, maybe that means that I get to eat the rest!

Hope you have a good weekend. I’m being brave and taking Toby to visit a special needs club. If it goes well it could become a permanent fixture of our weekend – though I am having butterflies at the thought of leaving him, so then again maybe not!

She was supposed to have been mine.

Ava

I had a little spot picked out for her to sit where I could enjoy her prettiness and her wonderful smell of lavender. But sadly it was not to be. She was whisked away while I wasn’t paying attention and now she belongs to someone else.

Though apparently I am allowed to cuddle her whenever I want though, so she is not lost to me forever!

Thanks so much to Nicky at The Vintage Magpie for making the beautiful Ava.

Ballet show

We had a wonderful time yesterday at Amy’s ballet show and she really shone on stage. I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of the performance but snapped away like mad backstage. She adored her romantic ballet dress and the sparkly make-up.

It was quite a job to convince her to take her costume off afterwards – I think she’s have happily slept in it given the chance!
