Happy Handmade Monday everyone!
Hope you've had a great weekend. Here's a few things I've been up to:
Father in law is a keen birdwatcher, and spends alot of time at a nature reserve where the logo is a kingfisher. It was his birthday this week so to go with his bird box with infra red camera I made him this pint glass:
It was also my friends birthday, and she's doing her new kitchen in green so I made her these wine glasses. Sorry...it's butterflies again. I think I may have a problem.
It's hard to see the detail in the pictures, but the cat liked them...
Glass aside. Thought I'd share the cakes that I made for father's day:
These were all new recipes I tried, which I'll put up some time in the week. I obviously had to taste them all to check they were ok.
and finally, here are what my class came up with when I let them create their own cookies this week:
They could add anything they wanted,
although I did have to step in when one group tried to add chewing gum.
Thank you for reading.
Don't forget to check out Handmade Monday!
