cake made by me inspired by Amelie's drawing

I love the way you call me mamma,
I love that you are so sensitive,
I love your imagination,
I love your creativity,
 drawing by Amelie, embroidery by me

I love that you sometimes know things that I don't,
I love that you love to take photos & "movies" with my phone,
I love that you can read your own birthday cards,
I love that you will be able to read this,
I love that you still hold my hand when we walk to school,

I love your neverending energy,
I love that you can be the most caring big sister,
I love that you are the sweetest big cousin,
I love your sweet smile,
I love your nervous smile,
 refashioned skirt, panel made by me

I love how much you love me..always,
I love that you can now reach and help me hang the clothes,
I love your innocent shyness,
I love that you enjoy school,
I love that you love to read,
I love it when you make me pictures and write "Love mum" on them
 these two made by me

I love that you are a little monkey on the monkey bars
I love that you are a little bit cheeky
I love your witty sense of humour

You know I just love you always..to the moon and back... 50 million times and I especially love that I am your mamma

Happy birthday baby girl ♥


p.s I would love to freeze this age

amelie's 4th birthday

    You love her so much you even made her cake pops. Cake pops are a labour of love if ever there was one!

    Your idea for the cake is inspired and I love it to bits.

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies!

So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke.

Honey Jumbles

I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish.

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy. Here’s a basic recipe I made using a Cusinart ice cream maker Berrylicious ice cream Makes 1 litre Ingredients     ¾ cup whole milk   ½ cup sugar or honey if you prefer 1½ cups cream 150grams mixed berries, thawed and slightly mashed with a fork Method U sing a mixer or hand whisk, mix milk and sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved   Add cream and mix until combined Turn the machine on and pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let it mix until thickened, about 25 minut...
