Before I Finnish

When I was looking through my pictures file I came across this one of Kyrie who is our first dog this was when she was just a few weeks old and we don't have any others as she is really camera shy in fact when you take any type of camera out she seems to know and runs away and hides, she looks such a cutie but is in fact quite bossy especially where my son is concerned but I love her anyway. Will have to stop playing with my blog now and go and do some homework will try not to leave it too long though before I am back. See you all soon.

Valentines Day

Well here we are on Valentines weekend, hope you all have a happy one, during the past week I have been promoting my baking and a few of my friends at work have already sampled my cakes, I was chatting with a colleague Jan who I had made a Christmas cake for and someone else joined in the conversation and next thing I new I was taking an order for a valentines cake, here is a picture, of it he seemed happy with it but I was not quite as confident with my decorating skills I got a little nervous but I hope he enjoys it.

My husband had also been telling his work mates about what I was doing and Chris a young lad he works with asked if I would make him one also, he wanted writing on his, not done that before and I couldn't manage it on the other one but I went for it and here is the result. Have not heard from him yet so I hope it got to work in one piece as my husband was the delivery boy.
