Planning ahead & a badly decorated cake!

Is it too early to mention Christmas? Well yes, but sometimes it's not a bad idea to think about things and plan ahead. Just little bits and pieces, I promise.
Made a cake and did my trademark diabolical decorating, which naturally I share here as I have no shame whatesoever!

    Hi Sadie. Love your videos because they're one of the very few authentic ones I ever come across, plus your attitude of having a go and being able to giggle at yourself brings a smile to my face. Your spring wreath is gorgeous. xx

    I have to laugh at myself Suzanne, my attempts are usually pretty pitiful! It's either laugh or cry! Must email you soon. xx

    Bonjour from Quebec, Canada. I was so happy to see your video this morning. It started my day with a big smile. Spring is slow in coming to the Eastern Townships but we do have daffodils, tulips and hyacinths blooming. Loved the results of your cake; I thought it looked like a Monet painting with all the soft colours. A bientôt!

    Bonjour Linda! That is a sweet thing to say, thank you. A Monet? I'll take that! More of a happy accident than intentional though!

    Ah, your spring sounds very much like ours Ro! That said, today - May 1st - it is very sunny and warm! I've got a load of washing out on the line, but I am still keeping my beady eye on it, the sun vanishes behind thick cloud from time to time and we had quite a bit of rain again last night.

    Love the wreath - I actually went more delicate this year too. I found a really sweet small wreath with faux tea roses and fern and decided to hang it inside a larger wicker wreath - I do love how it looks. The cake size is perfect - especially when twin grandsons come by. I sometimes put a few mini choc chips in each and then they have three cupcakes each. I love "menopause in weather form" - so true here too. Last Monday's high was 53, today will be 83. We've gone from heat to a/c in just a few days. No off time for the utility bill! Have a great week!

    It's funny how taste changes isn't it? I have really gone awat from busy wreaths, and I notice that the seasonal ones sold in shops tend to be absolutely full to the brim with stuff. The more I see them the more I dislike them. Have a feeling I'll be reworking the summer wreath now too. ooh, your choccky cupcakes sound rather lovely. I've got a new cake recipe to try out at the weekend, suffice to say even it it's a disaster I'll be sure to show the results! Weather is a funny thing, but one thing's for sure, it's never boring! Have a fabulous week.

    Well done, I watch a few home style vintage/cottagey videos on KZread but some are soooo perfect looking and really life isn’t like that! So your video is refreshing and real. Keep going… I enjoy them from Mid Wales 😊❤

    Thank you so much Janey & I totally agree! I’m so far from perfect it’s hilarious, which is why I am happy to show my awful attempts at cake decorating! Thank you for your comment, it’s put such a smile on my face this morning ❤😊

    Your wreaths are gorgeous, Sadie. I don’t see why we can’t work on holiday projects whenever we want to, as well as use them. If it makes us happy, why not? 🙂 I still have my Easter fairy lights up in the living room, heehee 😅 Your Wisteria is breathtaking. Sending hugs 🤗 Edit: lol at that big birdie laying in the birdbath 😂 “If I fits, I sits!”

    Don't blame you for keeping your fairy lights up Wynne! Today (11th June) I have a christmas candle burning and am going to watch a festive Hallmark film as a reward for replying to comments! 🎄🎄🎄 The Wisteria was so lovely this year, I really miss it once the flowers go, but make the most of it while it's here! xx
