  • well done mimms!

    skintbint - cheers for the link, having a nosey now. Just seen something that will make someone a bit of money, not for me as I don't know how!

    Does anyone have a sewing machine that will sew letters?

    I paid £15 (yes I know a lot!) for one of these with DD's full name and DOB on it, it was only a bit of fleece and ribbon, but she loved it, so I bought it!

    I'm a wiggly worm, I'm a wiggly worm, how do you do, I love you, I'm wiggly worm!

    2cats - do you think stamps would work on icing?

    I know you weren't asking me, but I'd be careful using paper stamps...they come covered in a coating which might not be edible.

    Have you looked at craft websites? I've got a brochure somewhere for a craft shop that does lots of icing stuff, and has pretty fast delivery...could find the name out if you are interested?

    Do you mean to print a picture (with food colouring or whatever) or to leave an impression? I guess if the pic isn't too fine and the surface is totally smooth they might - couldn't see them being too successful though. The ones that might work better are the big foam stamps, rather than the rubber ones. They seem a bit more forgiving.

    Like these

    No problem, I like helping :)

    Not sure if it'll be any good, my limit is cupcakes :o

    Hope it helps, though!

    Edit: Ate that cottage pie, now feeling sick. Don't know if it was just too heavy to digest with two hours sleep (My digestive system is as dodgy as the rest of me, lol) or if its the masses of mint sauce I poured over it. Either way, ew. I feel icky now. Am making a cash book!

    Edit Edit: There's a condom in the tree outside my window.

  • Would you prefer personalized cash sheets (your business name on the top) or just plain ones?
    I can't decide which looks nicer...
