Tasty treats, sweet and savoury.

I've been making quite a few savoury treats just lately, as well as cupcakes.
The bigger burger is going great....

.... this is the full size one. There' been more hot dogs too..

...these are full size too.
I have a new strawberry trifle...

...and more of these....

.....


.....


......and of course these....

I've just added these festive cupcakes too....


.....there will be more, if I can get them made in time!!!

I'm still working on new designs, but they won't be in the shop until December at the earliest, as I have orders to fulfill. I also have to make a start on my Christmas cards. It's all out ready on my desk, I just have to make them, before Christmas arrives!!!!

Cupcakes and mince pies, and not a Christmas card in sight!!!!

Well all my packs of mixed tarts have all gone, so now I'll be making another selection. I have a few ideas which I'm playing with at the moment, but I'll have to keep them under wraps until they're exactly what I want.
I've just finished these......

..... and they're now on sale, and so are these.....

..... I've still got a couple of orders to finish and then hopefully I shall start making my Christmas cards. I know there's a lot of people out there who have theirs all done and dusted. I'm at the stage where I know which set of stamps I'm going to use, and what my colour theme is going to be. Maybe this weekend I'll get one or two done, who knows!!!

The last of my Halloween cupcakes are finished and are now for sale. I've been busy fulfilling a few orders so I haven't had time to make as many as I was going to. I've made a few notes in my book, (just so that I don't forget) of a few different designs, but that's for next year, hopefully!!
Here's picture of the last batch.....

.....
I've now moved on to these.......

.... the first few sets have gone, but I have just listed one more set, with more on the way.
With Christmas approaching us quite quickly I have several projects to make for the family. I'd better get myself organised!

Just a quick post...These are in my shop now.......



...... there will be more soon, and also these are on their way.....

.... and a few other tasty treats are coming soon too!

The staff of life!!!!

A lovely lady called Roxanne contacted me. She lives in beautiful Dorset. She asked me if I could knit a loaf of bread for her. But not any ordinary loaf of bread, a special one. One that everyone knows and can remember.
This to be exact.....



I knew I'd be able to make one, I just had to do a test pattern first. I always do a test, I call it my "grey", knitting in grey yarn. That way, I can see if I need to make any adjustments to the shapings, or design.

Well here's my finished loaf......



My aim with my knitting is to make what I see. I hope I've done the loaf justice.
It was a pleasure to make this and I hope Roxanne will be very happy with it.
Thank you Roxanne!

A quick update!

This is just a brief update. I have a new selection of mixed tarts......

........and they seem to be going like " hot cakes". There's more in the cupcake range.....plain...

.....and chocolate......

and there's more "spookies" for Halloween....

..... With the "big" season almost on us, there'll be quite a few things for then. But in the meantime, I'm off to make some "real" cakes for the forthcoming wedding, and there's going to be some cakepops too, for both young and old! Watch this space!!!!!

Using my Loaf!

Wherever I go or whatever I do, I always find something that gets the "grey matter" on overdrive. This time it was a trip to the bakery. We were out on a day trip and fancied a "snack" ( like you do!) and we went into a beautiful bakery with the gorgeous loaves etc on diplay. The sight and smells were just wonderful!
But the trouble with me, is that I don't just eat what I love, I want to recreate it, but in a different form. You know where this is going, I know...
Whilst sitting eating a beautiful fresh baked roll with a salad filling, my mind was wandering onto my knitting and where it would take me. This is what it led to.....

...... the thing is, this will lead to other things I know. It was strange because I had an email from a lovely lady who had bought some of my tarts and strawberries, and she asked me if I was going to make any baguettes, and at the time I was just on the verge of finishing the first set. Well they were snapped up, and now I'm working on my "tests" for some more.
The other thing I've been working on is these....


.... and that gorgeous fabric underneath is for another project. Sewing machine "at the ready" when I can take a break from knitting! But the real baking has to take over tomorrow, as our neigbour has just bought me a large bag of cooking apples and a huge basket of blackberries. Apple and blackberry pie anyone?
