Hello friends
Another day of such wonderful comments and emails yesterday, you are all so supportive and
it truly mean a great deal.

Talking of Elliott...here is he yesterday baking a cake for today's class!

I had to go up to my London job yesterday so I was running out of time.
He offered to make a cake with the help of my Mum.
I will post a picture of the finished cake tomorrow and will let you know the taste verdict!
Also while I was at work someone had a bath...
I wouldn't say she likes baths but she is well behaved in the bubbles.
I wouldn't say she likes baths but she is well behaved in the bubbles.
This is in readiness for the special event of picking out a winner for yesterday's Ornate Squares!
That will be middle of next week.
Wishing you all a brilliant weekend - thank you for sharing your weekend details with me,
some really interesting things going on - enjoy!
Take care.
Gosh, haven't been first in a while! I bet that cake tastes fab, wish I could have a slice! Lovely photos today of both Elliott and Bella, hope you have a great class, hugs Carole Z XX
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I'm sure the cake will be lovely. It looks like Elliott is enjoying himself baking, it's not something I could convince my son to do, although he cooks a lovely meal.
ReplyDeleteHave a good class, I'm looking forward to my one in May. Enjoy the test of the weekend

ReplyDeleteHi Christine, lovely to see Elliott enjoying himself (at least he looks as if he is). What a brilliant young lad he is.
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't Bella good in the bath! Couldn't do that with my cat.
Hope your day went well and you all enjoyed the cake.
Have a good weekend - we're all routing for you.

Elliott looks completely in control there in the kitchen. Looking forward to seeing his finished masterpiece (if you get a piccie before it gets snaffled!) There's no way you could get our dog in the bath like that (mind you, she is 6 stone and random:) Have a great weekend, hugs Jenny x
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. I think Elliott is a budding TV chef in the making. Bet it tastes great.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe Bella is so good in the bath. I have to put my mack on when I bath Gracie.
Have a good weekend.

Elliott looks thoroughly at home in the kitchen, hope the cake turned out OK.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteWhat a good boy Elliott is baking for his Mum, does he do dinner too. Great pics of Bella, my dog dosn't like baths but loves a mad half hour running around after having one. It's so funny to watch it's worth giving her one.

Hope you have a lovely day with your class of ladies.

Wow, lucky you to have such a handsome cake-maker at home :)
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, Brilliant pics today of Elliott and Bella, I bet the cake was delicious, and I bet Bella looks more gorgeous than usual after her coiffure. I'm betting the lucky ladies had a brilliant time at your class, too, do let us know what they thought of the 'masterchef's cake'.
ReplyDeleteI'm exhausted after my craft show today, I did 4 make and takes, but still managed to spend money on Spellbinders ha ha, then when I got home, I did all the front garden and now my back is really aching, my hubby did the sweeping up for me and now we're both aching ha ha.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Christine
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up with your blog today and hearing your news of Elliott. What a wonderful young man he is and with a wonderful attitude, it will make all the difference on his journey of healing. The doctors and hospitals can do so much these days. Myself and my family will include you all in our prayers. My older brother had a brain tumour removed 12 years ago when he was in his late 30's and he is in brilliant health today, he also has a very positive outlook on things. I wish you all well and thank you for including us.
Regards
Caroline MacH

ReplyDeletelovely. well done Elliott! lv all the photos in today's post. Hope your class went well. lv norma
