So I Made Cup Cakes

So 3 1/2 yr old daughter was having a tantrum on a Friday afternoon, banging her bedroom door, screaming shouting, "No I Won't ...." so whilst it was going on, I decided to make a batch of cup cakes and try out my new icing nozzle [ooo a lovely word nozzle].  In between mixing, baking and icing went back to daughter to console but it was no good.  Held and held her but her pain was too great she pushed me away, so I took to my first attempt of trying to ice cup cakes like they do in the shops!

What do you think?

I have to say that i'm quite pleased with the result and Daughter thought they were very yummy double bonus!

3 things to be cheerful and Poppydog licking is not one of them!

So this is the week when I have a mixture of news and I have been bugging myself to take part in metalmummy 's listography's of some kind and realise this blog could take part in the 123 things to be cheerful! which was set up by mummy from the heart so here goes

My first listography:

1) three of my seven photographs got accepted and I will be exhibiting in my first ever exhibition - yay!!!! wooop wooop! So I would like to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement through the Gallery link last week.  The "Winter" picture was one of the accepted ones.

2) My second achievement of the week was finishing my second assignment for my Open University Course - it was nothing special just a 1500 word essay but it's done and dusted no use worrying about it now, just got to wait until mid march for my final mark.

3) My third accomplishment is that I managed to listen to a webinar and book some web design training ready for when I hit the big wide world of Redundancy!

Final thought for today is that I am still trying to work out what I want to do - think I want to go freelance not sure what in but I am enjoying my new hobbies blogging, twittering and photography.  Not forgetting of course being a mummy but I think I do need to have time for myself and this maybe something I can do and enjoy at the same time.

 

Oh and I have agreed to help my Church raise £100k for a new roof so looking for lots of fundraising ideas.  A BIG challenge me thinks. 

 

Finally I will leave you with this lovely thought caught my lovely son licking Poppydog's tongue!!!! he reply was "well Poppydog started it first" OMG yukkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! 

Mother Nature - The Gallery

Well I've done it - I've entered some of my photos into a local art exhibition! they have to be reviewed so here's hoping that they get selected.  And I am giving YOU an exclusive taster of a couple of my entries which also reflect Mother Nature which is the theme for Sticky Fingers - The Gallery Topic this week.

The photos were taken around The Village.  One was taken just a couple of weeks ago when we had the Big Freeze and the tree one was taken in November 2010.
