Knitted Shepherds and Sheep

The Shepherds

The Sheep

All Together

How big?

The last few members of the Nativity Scene I knitted for a friend's daughter, for her classroom at Christmas. Now the extras are ready to join them this Christmas.

Butterfly and Cupcake Iced Cookies

These biscuits were just extras after making the cookie stacks earlier. The butterfly and cupcake biscuits were made with the cutter that came with the cake decorating magazine. Instead of run out icing I rolled out ready to roll white regal icing very thinly using two (clean) plastic rulers as depth guides and my fantastic mini silicone rolling pin. Pink paste colouring was added to the white icing for the top of the cupcakes. They were finished off with soft peak royal icing in white for the bottom of the cupcakes and the butterfly bodies, and red for the 'cherries'. The pink edible glitter that came with the magazine was used on two of the butterflies and I bought blue, (from a lovely lady with a stand in Hartlepool indoor market) for another two butterflies, and hologram white, used on the top of the cupcakes. The second photo is a bit darker to help show the glitter better.

Wedding Cake Cookie Stacks

From the new cake decorating magazine issue 21. I just had to try these, they look so special. The originals were pink but I chose to make variations of blue as I'm not a pink person. Only took two days, one to make the biscuits and flowers, the other to ice and assemble. I used the cutters I had, not having the five petal flower cutters and I think it has worked well. Oh and I bought some edible glue! to stick the flowers on.

Crochet Circular Doll Blanket

When i was little one of my dolls had a circular blanket, i still have them in the loft. Unfortunately i ended up with the hole in mine, fortunately i can crochet so i made a new one. (I'll try to find the original i used as a pattern). 

Blue Crochet Squares Teddy Blanket

What to do with a few crochet squares i'd made just faffing about? Well, I added a few more with the oddments of wool i had left that matched and made a blanket for a blue teddy bear. (not the ongoing project; still ongoing!)

Crochet Baby Blanket

I crochet this last year for an expectant mum where i worked at the time. Forgot to add to my blog then but reminded as i'm working on another crochet project right now, hopefully to be finished soon if it works out; a bit of an experiment and modification. 

Chocolate Moulded Topped Chocolate Mini Cupcakes

My youngest son (age 9) made these for his teacher as a leaving present. They are mini chocolate cup cakes with lilac buttercream on top with chocolate moulded teddies, lego men, lady and baby robots.
