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 <><

Nurse Gill's 50th Birthday Cake

Jenny asked me to make a cake for her daughters special birthday. Well knowing Gill was a nurse I suggested a cake on that theme, and used the colours she wears in the hospital where she works to dress this model I made.  

The cake was sponge with no marzipan for people who may have a nut allergy. This is not the best or my favourite kind of cake to make as there is little time in which to make it, get it decorated and eaten before the cake becomes inedible, and creating a good finish isn't so easy either... but I managed it.  How could I say no when Jenny has been so good to look after my dog for all these years.

I have posted several pictures because no one photo really shows it up.

It was fun making the nurse, patient and all the bits and pieces to decorate it. I used Squires modelling paste.
