It's Sunday evening, I have a cute little cat curled beside me on the couch, the house is peaceful, and I have just finished one of my little sewing projects ... sounds like a pretty nice evening!!
This week we celebrated my son's 12th birthday. Josh was actually 12 on the 3rd November but we chose to have a little party yesterday, very low key, just three friends for afternoon tea then Paul (husband) took them all to Megazone so they could have fun shooting each other. Josh still loves Lego so his cake choice was easy, and not too hard to make ... a giant Lego cake ...

| Happy birthday Josh! |

| Here is the cake in progress of being iced. |

| Barney enjoyed playing with (shredding) the wrapping paper. He is a feisty puss! |
Two new magazines in one day is all it takes to get me excited! The latest Homespun magazine and Mollie Makes which Fiona Marie has made possible to buy in NZ.
And on the sewing front this week I am feeling pretty good. I have finished my Great Global Christmas swap project, I am just waiting for some bells to add then I can post it all the way to America. And I finished another little swap project and a gift. Unfortunately I cannot post photos yet in case my swap partners read my blog.
My next project is a baby gift for a work colleague and I have found the perfect pattern, an owl softie from an old Homespun magazine so I hope to start this week.
So that was my week ... and now I can just imagine being comfy in bed reading Mollie Makes, so if you will excuse me ...
Happy stitching, Wendy

Hi Wendy, love the cake, hope they enjoyed the shooting trip.... Mollie makes, I'll have to look for that one, look at those pincushions.

Happy Birthday Josh!! I made my son a lego cake a few years ago and they are so fun! :) I love that cushion in the background of the magazines, and that Mollie Makes magazine is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, sent Josh a belated happy birthday. I love that cake. I have never seen a lego cake and it looks so effective. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteJosh looks very happy with his cake. My son is 21 and he still loves lego. He looks for unusual lego paraphernalia -key tags, containers etc. Some boys never grow up!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Josh....you are a whizz with these cakes Wendy. A lego cake how cool.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Josh, your cake looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the Mollie Makes magazine to, it has lots of great pictures.
You are excused... only because you shared where I can buy my own copy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Josh!
The cake looks fabulous :O)
Ditto what Michelle said above - thanks for the heads up on the magazine......
ReplyDeleteLove that cake, I think I might put an order in for a lego cake for my next birthday - if I can find someone at my house to make it for me! Happy belated birthday wishes to Josh!
Funny, we have a cat called Barney too, is it named after the same purple dinosaur as ours is? Ok our 6 yr old did name her!
