Hello and Welcome...

Hello & Welcome...My name is Anne-Marie, I am a full-time administration assistant for a local housing association, I have a husband, two adult sons, and a mad dog named Fritz. I spend any spare minute crafting (although there are never enough spare minutes)...anything from making cards, papercrafts, knitting, crochet, baking and making jams, curds etc. I also enjoy growing my own fruit/veg in my greenhouse/garden.


I hope I will post something that may be of interest to you.
..thanks for visiting xx

1st Birthday afternoon tea

I've spent this morning making cupcakes for my niece Eva's 1st birthday tea this afternoon.

First time I've used a dual icing bag, seems to have gone ok, but I suppose I will get better with practice.  It was hilarious trying to work out where to put the nozzle until I realised I needed a further icing bag to put the nozzle into, and then place the dual bag into that!!  Anyway, here they are...



I've used a gold shimmer spray on the butterflies to make them shiny! 

I've entered these into the following challenge:

Crafting Musketeers Challenge - Challenge #10 Butterflies
