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 <><

Christmas Cake 2012

I was asked if I was making a Christmas cake this year.... I think it was a hint!

Well yes I was so asked how they wanted the cake decorated and Graham said he would like a Father Christmas sitting by the fire in a rocking chair.

Well that wasn't quite enough on its own so came up with the idea of a two-scene cake. The edge of the cake was outside... the path, front door, brickwork, Christmas tree and the reindeer's hooked up to the sledge but taking a rest.

The top of the cake was Father Christmas in his rocking chair, sitting by a fire and on the table was the usual glass of sherry and mince pies.  It was fun to make... I felt like a big kid with my plasticine!
