cricut mini review
we were recently asked whether we would like to give the cricut mini a bit of a work out and post our views of the little machine. well with our love of making stuff especially out of paper and card of course we said yes please thank you very much. a few days later the little beauty arrived.
it looks like a cross between a printer and a guillotine, i guess that because actually that’s kind of what it is. it is said to be able to cut a wide range of material including card, vinyl, vellum, fabric, chipboard, and even thin foils. we however have only tried card at the moment.
whipsnade zoo
last week we pottered off to whipsnade zoo. when i say we i mean me, rooster and Mr HPMcQ with a whole heap of other bloggers and their kiddies too. a grand total of 6 bloggers damson lane, mammasaurus, actually mummy, cheetahs in my shoes & being mrs c and our 10 children and one Mr HPMcQ. it was also Mr HPMcQs birthday.
it was a glorious day in many ways, the sun was shining, the children played really nicely together and a great group of what were online friends cemented their real life friendships further. they also sang Mr HPMcQ happy birthday and served him cake what else could any man want.
piñata piñata
this week saw Mr HPMcQ get one year older and what a day it was!
ronnie and i decided to bake him a cake. we spied a snazzy piñata one on pinterest and thought we would go about making one ourselves.
for the cake it self i was after a chocolate sponge that was not dry, as i’ve not quite found one that i’m totally happy with. i was pointed in the direction of this chocolate fudge cake on the crazy kitchen blog. i modified it slightly to make three sponges for the piñata version.
a-z of dance
i have become slightly addicted to watching this video
so i decided to share the joy
