blank spot

There's a blank spot at work where a picture needs to be. I've been trying to think of something to go there and while going through the internet I was inspired by a picture of birch trees.


I almost ran out of white paint, but I kind of like the rough effect of the paintings not being perfect.

creative craving satisfied

Had one of those days today when I desperately needed a creative outlet. It was either reupholster a piece of furniture, find a wall to paint, rearrange furniture, or paint an empty canvas picked up yesterday. The rearranging and canvas won :-)

still obsessed with Wall-e

My youngest claims to be Wall-e's number one fan and has the utmost respect for him (his actual words) so when his 6th birthday was arriving, he knew exactly what he wanted for a cake. Considering that I've forgotten his birthday before and he only wanted cupcakes last year, I agreed a Wall-e cake would be done.

I did feel a little rushed with this guy and the fondant was really soft - but since he's my first fully detailed cake - I'm pleased with the end result. He didn't turn out too bad :-)
