Familial Visit

Sweets

The last week in January saw my family braving the transatlantic flights to come and visit us here. Well, technically they flew the week prior and spent time in Florida having a good time. Deciding to drive from Florida to Austin we went to meet them in NOLA to spend the weekend there, letting my […]

It’s 2010 Already

Sweets

I’m sure someone promised me a hover car, or something along those lines, by now! I figured it was about time I got round to uploading photos and letting people know how the holidays went. I took far less photos this year, why take photos of decorations that I took photos of last year! We […]

Cakes

Sweets

Two new cakes of late, the first being the wedding cake we were working on last week. The other being the Bass I did at work.. mostly on my own but with some help on the finer points of airbrushing technique.

When the crypt doors creak.. And the tombstones quake..

Sweets

Finally! A week after the day, I finally get the chance to look through my camera, see what photos are allowed online (and that I can be bothered to put online, certainly not all 300 of them!) and write our account of the party. By some miracle we were actually all set and ready for […]

In Other News…

Sweets

During a busy week at work, preparing for the holiday season (and getting to make sticky toffee pudding for up front!) I got to completely make, and decorate a wedding cake all on my own (with a little bit of guidance and supervision). Aside from all that, we’re working on Halloween so not much to […]

Like A Seamstress Exploded

Sweets

Our back room/dining room looks like a seamstress exploded in it. Scraps of fabric, ends of threads, pins littering the floor like little landmines and in the centre of it all, overseeing the carnage, sits the sewing machine. Yes, we’ve been sewing. DmentD introduced me to the wonders of costume making, from a pattern! Crazy […]

Garden Update

Sweets

We’ve been starting our Autumnal crop recently, I believe DmentD plans on going into detail so I won’t say too much. We recently transplanted the broccoli, sprouts and tomatoes from their starting trays into our little homemade paperbag pots. We intend on doing garlic and onions too. The pumpkins are.. going.. we’re not entirely sure […]

Dancing Through Life

Sweets

We’ve had a fun couple of weeks since my last post. Most notably I have finished my externship and am now working an honest to goodness job, that I’ll actually get paid for! *grins* It’s entertaining how exciting that is, but the thought of my first pay check in over a year is definitely a […]
