Cushions, Muffins and a LO

Another week.
I've got off to a good start.
I did the hoovering after the kids went to bed last night and packed up the lunches.
Ade cleaned the bathrooms yesterday and I had a good tidy.
Up at 5am today to start work and mopped all downstairs on way out to school.
Did the weeks groceries before heading home and made a pasta sauce ready for tea tonight and the best best muffins. All cleared away and done by 10am. Very proud of myself. I'll tell you about the muffins in a bit.

Here's a LO I did at the weekend.
I've always wondered how Louis gets a grubby mark on that one side of his mouth. Seeing this photo, I then realised how. Grubby thing thing!



It's actually larger than a 12x12. I've based it onto greyboard and will put it on the wall on my studio. Just a bit too bulky for an album this one.



I also managed to give my cushions a mini face lift whilst watching Dr Who on Saturday (I can never sit still and just do nothing). I bought these last year. 3 of them. So I've taken off all the tassles and added buttons.
We are finally nearly finished doing our room and en-suite. Everything is white with tiny touches of deep red/orange and turquoise, just like these buttons.
It's looking rather nice now. I'm working on some canvases too to go on the wall.



Back to the muffins. I'm so so happy with how these have turned out.
It's a recipe that I've adapted using cream cheese in the mixture and folding in fresh raspberries and white chocolate at the last minute. I've used the mega muffin cases I bought in Florida. The biggest cases I've ever seen.
The are totally LUSH!! Muffin Heaven. I feel a second LO coming on now for my recipe album.


Hollie is Starting her SATS today. I said I would bake something scrummy everyday for her. Yesterday we did butterscotch cookies.

Better get working now : )
Lots of love xxx

Wow, you have been busy! The LO is fab and the cushion is lush! All this talk of baking is making me hungry, which is not good since I'm trying to diet!!

Still getting used to the new Dr here, only up to the second part of the blink angels, Meaghan won't watch as she thinks they are the scariest thing ever...
