Happy Easter

Hillooo!

 

I hope all of you had a lovely long Easter weekend :)

 

I had a really great time with my family xxx As usual my dad did a fun Easter egg hunt for me and my brother, he really outdid himself and found tons of great stuff for it, here are all my goodies!!!:

 

 

I have finished one of the chocolate bunnies and lots of the little eggs already :p My mum got me an Easter egg too so I am well and truly spoiled with goodies! Thank you Mum and Dad!

 

This year I organised an egg hunt each for my parents too for a bit of fun :0) and to repay them for the years and years of fab Easter goodies :-)

Hehe, here is my dads pile of goodies (the Mars Easter egg is my dads from my mum :):

 

 

My pile makes my dads look tiny! but he and my mum said they  had a lot of fun doing my Easter egg hunt for them, my brother helped me hide all the stuff- he came up with tons of great hiding places!

 

For lunch we didn't have the usual Easter roast we had Pizza from Pizza GoGo instead, at my request as they have started doing a whole range of vegetarian Quorn pizzas!!! Which were delicious :P All the sides were tasty too, mmmm mozzarella sticks :) I definitely recommend it, in fact I think it has jumped to the top of  list as my favourite takeaway pizza (it was less greasy and salty- and very veggie friendly now!)

 

In other news this Easter Weekend I also finished my Kameez!:

 

 

 

 

I still may iron on a couple of flower motifs I picked  up at the creative stitches and hobbycrafts show down the centre back at the back neckline but I want to do some testing first to check it wont ruin  the fabric etc... But the sewing is all done :-) I am really pleased with how it came out- now I just have  to find the perfect occasion to wear it!

 

And my final  bit of news for this post- I have now begun my Elizabethan foundation garments in college (to go with my Elizabethan corset).

 

Here I my Wheel farthingale toile (tester), I also have a bum roll underneath this to support it:

 

 

And here was some test fabric draped over it so we could see the effect a skirt of the period would have on my foundation- so I could make any alterations to my foundations to get the right look:

 

 

I am reealllyy enjoying this module (as I do all of the really, but I do love me some Elizabethan costume!)

 

Hehe, I am off to get to bed now ready to wrestle with my 6m petticoat I am also making again tomorrow!

 

See you all soon, and don't forget to enter the spring giveaway which closes this Friday if you haven't already,

 

Thanks for reading :o)

 

Bye XxXxXxxXxX

It's my Brothers birthday! (+Happy easter)

Hey guys,

It is my brothers birthday on the 1st of April (tomorrow!) but as we came on holiday to the isle of wight on Friday my brother got his special cake early! here it is:

It is a domo in the centre of the universe cake! :P

Hehhe it is very yummy and we still have lots left to enjoy so that is good!

My brothers birthday may end up being a bit Domo themed though (but that can't be a bad thing! :0) as for a gift I made him this domo case to fit his new kindle fire HD he got for his birthday (again early because we were going away). I hopes he likes it, it was fun to make though trying to get a good fit was difficult- secretly running into my brothers room and putting it on his kindle to check :P

AND HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! I hope you are all having a fantastic day, enjoying lots of chocolate eggs :P

 Here as promised I bring you a picture of the secret Easter prize I made for the giveaway:

 

It is an easter egg pin cushion- I gave a try some of the embroidery stitches on my sewing machine to try and make it super cute =:o3

 

I have had a great easter :) Today we went to some little towns to do a bit of shopping and then in the evening my dad did an easter egg hunt for me and my brother so that was super fun! Look at all the yummy stuff I found:

 

Hehehe, I can't wait to eat it all :P My mum bought me the little knitted chick in the middle. I saw it in this craft shop when we were out and thought it was cute so she generously got me one (:<>)

I'm going to call him Darren (Because he looks like a Darren to me:P)

 

I'm off to bed now, ready for all the fun of my brothers birthday tomorrow. I think we are going mini golf and pizza express, yum!

 

See you all soon,

 

Bye my lovely readers xxx

 

 

 

Chocolate Easter egg making!

Hi!,

Today was the day I got to go Chocolate Easter egg making :D I had been excited about this for  agggeeesss so was very pleased the time had finally come! I Came up  with my design last night (it was inspired by the sea and jewellery :) in the centre I wanted to put a chocolate star and two chocolate sea horses facing each other and then different sweets surrounding the centre and finally some piped white chocolate decoration, I was not sure how much of my idea I would be able to create in real life but our expert chocolate making teacher was really nice and in the end I managed to create my design exactly :-) Here is my chocolaty creation:
  

It really was soo fun! They had mini vats of chocolate which we had to fill our molds with and then huge bags of sweets to decorate our chocolate with.

Hehehe, I signed the back in white chocolate too :P

It was very funny when we were in the chocolate making room as there are glass windows you can look through to see the people making the chocolate and there were lots of people looking at me and my family, hehehe!

Here are my mum, dad and brothers creations too:

Egg on the left is my Dads (mine is in the middle :P) my mums is on the right and then the big bar in the front is what my brother made he decorated a quarter for each of us with our fave sweets on so I promised I would share my egg with him too! :0)

I'm off to eat a little bit more now, it is extremely delicious! I would share it with you all if I could :)

I hope everyone is having a nice week,

see you all soon,

Bye! xxxx

P.S. A big huge massive thank you to Tricia who awarded me the Liebster blog award the other day!!! :D You should definately go vist her blog: here! she has got some lovely makes on there! :)

Happy Easter everyone! =:0)

Hi,

HAPPY EASTER!!! (:<>)

I hope you are all having a fantastic Easter :-) Luckily I have internet where I am in the IOW so I didn't have to wait and wish you a belated Happy Easter when I got back. It is also good because I get to show you all my Easter makes and goodies not-late too :D

It is a tradition in my family that my dad sets up a little Easter egg hunt in the house for Easter for me and my Brother, look at all the yummy goodies I found hidden round the house for me this morning!!!:

 

There was also a big Lindt bunny hidden too but he didn't last past breakfast, hehehe :P I am a very lucky girl!

You have probably spotted Catherine in there, she is wearing the Easter egg costume and Easter bonnet I made her especially to wear today:

The egg costume is a felt sandwich board style thing, I came up with the idea about two days ago and luckily finished it just in time yesterday!

The little straw hat came in a pack of about 12 I bought in the Hobbycraft January sales for £1.99, I knew I would find a use for them when I bought them and I was pleased to finally use some of the Easter ribbons I bought last year as well :)

In other holiday news I got to go my favourite little craft shop on the Island and picked up these two little cross stitch kits, I am going to make the little carriage one in commemoration of the Queens Jubilee :o)

On Tuesday I am off to make my own big Easter egg at the chocolate shop :D I am soooo excited!!!! I will definitely be posting up pictures, hopefully it will turn out well not just like a big choclately mess, lol!

See you all soon,

Bye! xxx
