Decorated cupcakes

Tomorrow is my sister’s birthday and as a treat for her colleagues she wanted to make decorated cupcakes. She asked me to help, so I happily joined her. I made and applied the frosting, and was a supporter, she did the baking and decorating, the important things :-)

Another felt workshop

My best friend said, what you had for your birthday, I want that too! So yesterday 9 girls together became crafty and creative. So fun to see how everyone shows their her own character in their creations.

And this is one of the things I made for her birthday, I used the pattern of Jona from Stop staring Start sewing and Heather Bailey fabrics. And you can see the apron has been put to use immediately.

A busy week…

Pfoe… last week was a pretty busy week for me. It started on friday 19th with my birthday, I invited my parents and parents in law for a birthday dinner. We had a great time, we even played with the wii I got for my birthday.

The day after, on saturday, I had invited 7 friends on my birthday party. We had tea and self made cake and I treated them with a felt workshop, they could make felt christmas ornaments, the ones designed by Jenny from Allsorts.

The week before I created the examples, I have put them together on a garland, I love it!

On christmas day the family joined at our place for dinner. It was nice to have them all over. My sister created the desert, it looked very festive and christmas:

After christmas day I did some crafting, I had to work on an order of party banners and a felt covered photo album:

And yesterday it was my mothers birthday. We went ice skating on the ‘pond’ at the Museumplein in Amsterdam (? I’m not sure if that’s the correct word for it…) Every year they freeze the pond and you can go ice skating with your own skates and it’s for free.

And the winner is…

Birthday cake

Petra — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:59:30 +0000

Last week my nephew Bram turned 4. As a starting tradition he always orders his birthday cake with me. And off-course I feel honored with such a request. This year the pre-condition was that it should be red, for a while now that’s his favorite color, I have no clue from whom he got that…. ;-)

I was very pleased with the result, but a bit unsure what the birthday boy would think of it… But I didn’t have to worry, he was thrilled with the color, and thought it looked like a cake for a king :-)

So what will he order next year……?
