Heart swap thank you's and belated Mother day photos.

Thank you April for the i love you this much award, it's coming right back to you honey. Because i love you this much too x
And i can't just choose 7 more ladies, so it's for everyone who leaves me a comment and you in my blog list. Your all too fabulous, it's impossible to choose.

Hopefully by now all you lovely ladies that joined in my Heart Swap have all swapped and received your swap goodies. Please let me know how you all got on, I'd love to see the photos.

I was a very lucky bunny to swap with a couple of lovely ladies, just because of the odd numbers. And all this pretty wrapped box of goodies arrived for me from the very wonderful Sarah Miss sew 'n' sew.


Beautiful handmade note book, heart shaped bath bomb, candle holder for all those romantic meals, a fabric keyring, which was just what the doctor ordered as we keep losing our back door (Miss Daisy likes to hide it lol) now she leaves it alone because i say that's Mummies key, it's got her heart on it.

My favourite item from Sarah is this beautiful handmade picture, it's so me the colours, hearts and frame. I love it, it is like you know me so well. Thank you lovely lady. Big X for you.

Now my second box of loveliness from a newbie to our blog land, Kate from Emily Pickle material addict. Look at the details in her wrapping, i just loved opening all this.

And look 3 cute handmade bags for the cupcakes as well as one of my own, yummy jammy dodgers, heart sweets, fab heart cupcake cases, a heart topped spatula and hair clips (which the cupcakes have claimed lol). Thank you sweet girl, it's all lovely. Thanks for joining in.

I've been meaning to share with you my fabulous Mothers day gifts but just not found the time, well here you are. And like so many of you Mummies i was treated with lots of lovely things. thank you my 3 beautiful cupcakes and Daddy Ben for helping them buy it all.

Cute and very big Spray flower purse from Mrs C K herself.
This sweet pink handmade cuff with cake and teacup from Jade x

And the lovely Make! book from Ben and the cupcakes, he knew i had my eye on this for a while. Can't wait to have a go and make the tole bag inside.
This weekend just gone saw me making Easter bonnets, chocolate egg cupcakes and these packs of pegs for the Cupcakes playgroup Easter fair. Now all the mummies and Daddies can buy a pack and display their little ones masterpieces. They went down really well and i only saw a few packs left when we went home, so I'm hoping they sold out by the finish of the day.
If any of the Mummies didn't get to buy a pack and you'd like one or some. Then please email me and I'll make up some more.


I hoping you're all having a lovely Easter break and enjoying some good old chocolate eating and egg hunting.
Back soon with Easter photos.
Now where's that bunny, he's hopped off with me cream egg! lol

A house full of laugther and happiness

We woke up to a beautiful sunny day and i knew the day was going to be a good one.
So before everyone was downstairs i got on and baked like a mad woman lol rustling up some tiny treats for Daisy's playgroup, it's a thing all the mummies seem to do on birthdays. Bring in goodies for the whole group. And mine was these tiny cinnamon hearts with icing and 100's & 1000's.

Easter iced chicks with eggy bums lol that sounds icky but you can see what i mean hehe!
And chocolate fudge iced bunnies. Looking at them now i should of put white and pink marshmallow's on as their fluffy tails. (note to self do this next time!).
Daisy came down to find lots of presents waiting for her and the 2 caterpillar cakes, she'd asked for. Better photos feather down.

She got a few new tops, DVD's, money and vouchers. Oh and Molly got her the cutest bag from Monsoon. A yellow chick, it looks very much handmade. Photos of that soon.

A very lucky little flower indeed. One of her favourite gifts is this hoody top we got her, well she choose it herself really. LOL only just 3 and picking out her own clothes already. Argh! and so it begins.
Daisy went off to playgroup a happy little bunny and slept soundly that night. Dreaming of the next days big party. She woke up to find that her big sister Jade had been picked up and had brought with her her best friend Charlotte. Daisy is just crazy about her and was very excited, isn't it funny how they know who they like even at such a young age. Little Granny also came over for the party and joined in all the fun.

Saturday morning saw us all getting ready for the party, photos of the cake taken, in better light. Meet miss caterpillar. She sparkly and tastes like jam and vanilla.

And Mr caterpillar, he's full of chocolate and fudge. Yum, yum.
I loved making these, they are sooo sweet. I truly found it hard to cut them for the guests lol

Party food done and on the table. And Daisy and Molly's friends began to arrive.

And because unlike Friday's sunniness Saturday turned wet and a little to grey and cold for an outside Easter egg hunt, so we made the best of it and turned this basket into a Easter egg dip. Which went down very well.
The sun shone for a little while when this game started and put bigger smile on little faces.

Dig deep Daisy there is an egg and chick in there somewhere lol

After everyone had found some Easter goodies, there was still time for some singing and dancing.
And then some cuddles under the table lol I just had to share this with you. On the far left of the photo you can see our Molly and the little sweetie in the red T-shirt is Barnaby her boyfriend awww so cute i could just melt.


Anyway after games, food, singing, dancing, presents, cake, cuddles and lots of photos, it was a fabulous party. One i hope Daisy remembers forever. Because i know we will. Love you little girl x
Thank you for all the birthday wishes, I've read each and everyone out to her. And she says thank you. X
More thank yous coming as I've got my lovely heart swap packets to share with you all.
Hugs for now and sweet dreams, wow how did it get that late?

Happy Mothers Day i know it's early.

To my mummy wishing you a very happy mothers day on Sunday, it's a little early because we're visiting family in Cheltenham and i didn't want to miss doing you a special blog. Sorry the photo's so old, nearly a year old in fact. April last year for your 60th was the last time i had a mum cuddle.

Sending you a very big hug across the sea and into your arms in Ireland.


Look at my mum wasn't she beautiful, i want to look this look on my wedding day. I think she looked amazing and still does. To me you are just mum and never get any older and your love it just grows stronger each day.


Inside this very special box tied with string and handmade tag with little old me on it was something, I'd baked for her ad had everything crossed that Mr Postman got it to her in one piece.
And he did. 6 yummy lavender and lemon lilac iced cupcakes. I know she's nearly eaten them all because i said open them as soon as they arrive, so i know they're safe and sound and she's let dad have only one bite lol well they are a mummies day present hehe!




Love you Mum hope to see you very soon.
And to all of you other mum's have a wonderful day.
Hugs,

The Easter Bunnies On His Way...

Eggtasic at Mollycupcakes...

It's nearly that time again when tiny chicks are hatching, baby bunnies are hopping and the Easter bunny is looking for those eggs again. And what nicer place to hide them but in one of my dotty or new chick eggcups.
And every one bought from now until the 6th of April will come filled with mini eggs. Hop on over to Mollycupcakes and pick up a Easter treat or 2.
