Stuff I've Been Meaning To Post But Haven't
Here is this year's pumpkin. I left it a bit late and had to do it in a hurry on Hallo-actual-ween before going out so I didn't have time to make one up meself and just used one I found online. It's a witchy-woo.



Miss [info]gingerelanor brought me back some excellent baking goodies from hols, two of which were cookie cutters in the shape of a dress and a duck and I'd been itching to try them out so I made biscuits, along with some Halloween shapes and discovered that I suck the most at biscuit icing. (I think my fave is the pumpkin top left. Lol?) Still they tasted very nice and THAT'S THE MAIN THING!!




Also in my parcel of American Goodies was an iron-on sparkly cup cake thing and I decided I'd make myself one of those re-useable folding plastic-bags-are-bad shopping bag type things with it. I've never made a bag before so I did a prototype with some stuff left over from my loud flowery skirt. It is reversible, if I'm feeling a bit extrovert.




Then after some minor adjustments I made my cupcake bag which I like very much actually. I might have to take it out this afternoon and buy stuff to put in it.



At some point I may get around to posting the photos from Thorp Perrow the other week and boomerang exploits with Khalyn from a few weeks ago.

Oooooh the dressy biscuits are so cute! And the ducks. And the others too, but esp the dresses.

Why was the bag in the photo you texted me bright pink, and that cakey bag not bright pink? I AM SO CONFUSED!! It's like cakey and gorgeous though, yay.

D'yer know I never even thought of pink. The brown fabric was fairly close to the cupcake fabric in Hobycraft and I was just all *oh! That goes well*

Because it is priced in a ridiculous fashion? It's all *£9.99 a metre* which I'm NOT USED TO TBH. 'Tis nice though *nods*

THat's right, I remember now. I know I saw it and hten didn't buy it. You should totally go to the States, the fabric dept in Wallmart was GRATE. It was about five times the size of the fabric shop in Chesterfield and had loads and loads of stuff you don't know you need, and all at like $4/yd or $2/yd and stuff. I was STUPID to only buy the one fabric and only two yards of it.

Oh but I think it might be cheaper if you get it from an online place rather than Hobbycraft. But I was already there then and I do so like to buy stuff in person sometimes *nods*
