Wordless Wednesday - No time for tea!

Minecraft - Steve - Tablet/I-pad case

I made this Minecraft tablet case for my son's birthday.

He unwrapped it and said:

"Ah it's Steve",

So apparently this is Steve from Minecraft.

One is never too old to learn!!

This time, I did all of it on my machine,

no last minute hand stitching any seams

and I rounded the corners of the flap to give it a better shape.

I also baked a cake.

Can you spot the number '9'?

I would like to be all caked out,

but my husband and daughter's birthday's are up next!

Miss Kalico is hoping for a purple princess party

(as one does when one is 3 going on 4!)

Daim Bar Cake

A friend at work loves Daim Bar's

and as it was her birthday,

I made her a Daim bar cake.

Basically it's a simple vanilla sponge

with some crushed Daim Bar pieces in the batter.

Then I iced the cake with 'Caramel Frosting'

(the recipe was found here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/7506/caramel-frosting-i/

I doubled the quantities of the frosting recipe

so that I could put the frosting inside and on top.

Then I topped the cake with crushed Daim bar pieces

and mini Daim bars.

I believe it tasted ok ;o)

I also embroidered a sheep 

in Bullion stitch on a heart as a little gift.

Now I'm making another Minecraft patchwork block

as my other son has his birthday tomorrow....

I didn't measure this one 

so it's a bit of trial and error as to what it will end up as...

A tablet case WAS the plan, but we will see!
