Feeling safe and cosy in your arms as babies to big feeling safe and snuggled in your arms as toddlers. We love you Daddy, you're the best.
A father is a friend to play with, relish and rejoice in. He'll bring smiles on your darkest of days.
Thank you Daddy for all the love, cuddles, fun, happiness, magic kisses and big smiles you bring. 
First one out of the fabric box chosen by the lovely Miss Molly cupcake herself is......
Pink Green 
And the runner up out of the box chosen by the sweetest Daisy flower is....
Very well done to Cathy and Kathy (how odd is that the girls choose two lovely ladies with the same name) spooky lol Drop me an email with your addresses please and I'll get your gifts off to you in the post. I know I said I'd pop a photo on here of what I'll be giving away but I'm so behind with things that I never got around to it (sorry ladies). It will be something very nice though I promise x
Luckily for us Ben had booked the next day off work and took us all down to a very drizzly Hastings. It didn't stop us having fun and the drizzle wasn't all the time.
Grandma didn't care about a bit of grey and damp skies, she was just happy to be with us at the seaside and enjoy sometime with the girls, Ben, myself and eat fish and chips yummy!
Bellies full we went off to the old town for a look around the fab shops there, sadly one of the really good ones with vintage china, eiderdowns, buttons etc... was closed on Mondays, a huge sigh was let out by me. As I spied lots of loveliness through the windows. Hey ho there is always next time. (Pretty please Ben x).
Made in Hastings was open for business and I popped in with the girls to say hello. I'll be selling some of my very own in there over the next month or so. Exclusive ice-cream pegs and a couple of one offs. I had to put it all on hold last year as the little biz went full throttle and I really needed to grow another pair of hands to keep up with it all lol (anyone know a recipe? hehe!)
After doing the all the fabulous antique and junks shops in the old town, stopping at a great little place called Roberts Rummage. Floor to ceiling with everything you could think of. I bought some buttons and wooden cotton reels and could of stayed in there for hours lol but I didn't I had the family outside to think of and was only in there for a short while. This is definitely one I'll be coming back too. Bless the owner Robert he's just like someones old grandad a real sweetie.
Thank you lovely family for letting me indulge in my weakness of rummage shops. Now for fun by the sea. We spent ages just walking along the seafront and throwing pebbles in the sea. all the fishing boats behind us had been out and there was the left overs all up the beach, sting rays, cat fish, a few shrimp and lots and lots of crabs. All of which Daisy was scared of and ran screaming when she saw one lol
Molly on the other hand was very inquisitive and ooow and arrr's came from her, she even prodded and poked some of them (the crabs that is not the stinky fish). Yuk!
Down by the sea you can see how ruff is was but thankfully it wasn't cold. Very mild indeed just damp. And we made the most it.
Daisy thought about having a peddle but changed her mind when this came crashing towards her lol Run Daisy, run! Look how happy she is, just like her me as a little girl. Happiest on the beach.
Don't forgot tomorrow is the last day of my one year anniversary giveaway, so pop on to the post and leave your comment and favourite flavour cupcake frosting/icing. Lemon seems to be winning at the moment, it's very popular. Our girls will pick out a winner on Wednesday afternoon. Good luck everyone and thanks for leaving all your lovely birthday wishes for my Daddy. He's very touched by your kindness.
Many hugs.

The girls have started celebrating with you and are tucking into their cupcakes lol
Here is his Grandad card made by little old me, I wanted to do something a bit different for him and sewed the word Grandad on and used lots of pretty green fabrics for the tea cup. My Dad loves his tea and why not "Tea makes everything better" and he does make the best cuppa. He is so sweet and even makes me my decaf cuppa, when we visit (I know I'm a pain hehe!).
This photo was taken a few years ago and makes me smile every time I look at it. Dad has a smile that makes everything feel better again. Love you lots Dad and even though I'm miles away my heart is with you today and always. You are in my thoughts. 
Birthday wishes from all of us. XXX
Don't forget my giveaway running until next Wednesday, just leave your comment and tell me what's your favourite flavour of cupcake frosting/icing. Good luck.
Hugs.

Happy 1st blogging year to me!
Wow has it really been one whole year already? And it's Happy 2 years birthday for Mollycupcakes too.
So I'm celebrating with a yummy cake.
I'd like to thank each and everyone of you that read my ramblings and come back again and again. I have made some fabulous friends on here and learnt so much, it's so nice to have the support and care of you all. Just knowing you're there to listen means so very much. Big kiss X
Right now on to some fun stuff, as tradition goes in blog land we all celebrate such posts with a giveaway and I'm going to to do just that.
What to do on a lovely sunny Sunday? was the big question on all our lips and after lots of thinking and google searching we drove off to the fabulous Badgers Hill Farm. It took a little while to find it lol as the good old British country lanes didn't have many signs to go by. But we got there in the end.
It's well worth a visit, it is great for the family or just a couples wanting to enjoy a nice country meal.
Molly and Daisy loved the goats. And Molly tired very hard to get this one to eat her daddies celery but he wasn't having any of it lol And ate her tissue instead hehe! so you see goats won't eat anything and everything this one was very fussy.
As you can imagine I was in Mummy heaven with all the chickens running around free and we read this sign after we'd ordered our food lol
Ben's ploughman's was fit for a king and he managed to eat most of it.
With a little help from this little friend. I'll pop the video of it eating whats left over on another post. the greedy thing even ate the large chunk of butter yuk! silly bird lol
There was cute chickens everywhere and you can buy some proper feed for them if you like but it was fun watching them all try and have ago at the left overs. Flaming charncers lol
Myself, Jade and the girls enjoyed a yummy cream tea with clotted cream and real strawberry jam and Jade's sandwich was huge and came with a range of chutneys (which she just had to try all of them). "It's rude not to Mum" was what she said when she spotted us watching her spoon out some from every pot. lol
Here is my favourite chick, she was so friendly and a real poser lol Ben had to double check I hadn't sunk her into my bag on the way home as I'd fallen in love with her, especially when she let me give her a stroke. (I think I'd like to come back as a free range egg laying chick) and live on some old ladies cottage garden and I'd have to be called Flossie or cup lol
We stroked and loved the donkey's then read the sign lol oh well they where very friendly and no biting went on, I guess they only bite people they don't like the look of hehe! and we must of smelt nice and friendly. 
We spent the whole afternoon there right up until closing time, just eating, enjoying the animals, little garden nursery and shop with all homemade food and gifts then finishing off with a walk around the meadow and play on the slide for the girls. Leaving with some yummy chutney, pink lemonade, lollies and wooden egg sign for the kitchen. (No chickens stashed wink, wink lol) we set off for home, bellies full and lungs filled with good clean country air. The perfect end to a lovely sunny Sunday. Checkout how to get there on this website:
Big kiss from all of us and hope you have a lovely week.
