Hi, Welcome To My Blog

I love various different types of crafts and have had a dabble at most over the years, some with greater success than others. I believe that apart from loving and giving, being creative is the next most important thing to do. There is something about being creative that taps into something deep within us that makes us feel good with the world. But then we were made in the image of God, God The Creator... so I guess being creative will be second nature to us if we allow. The problem is that many people will not have a go because they make the mistake of measuring themselves against others... and that is just not a good thing to do. I create because I like to create, not because I have to impress anyone else or be better than anyone else. I created this blog with a lot of help from my son-in-law, as a personal scrap book that I am happy to share with others if they wish to take a look.... Enjoy <><

Charlie's Christening Cake

This was a Christening Cake for Charlie, a beautiful baby, the first grandchild of a colleague of mine. I made this two-tier fruit cake, covered it  in marzipan and Regalice.

To make the blocks I used Regalice and made the letters using a stencil.

I hadn't made booties before and got the idea of making them like this from creativecakesncookies.blogspot.co.uk which I found on YouTube. She did not have a pattern, but I soon made one out of paper looking at the shapes she used and stuck the pieces together with cellotape first to see if the sizes fitted together okay, tweaking them a bit.  I then mixed gum tragacanth into some Regalice so that it would harden, and then proceeded to cut out the shapes and build the shoe as shown... easy!
