    This is another 'cake' that I have recently taken down to one of the shops.
    I have a few fairs in the next couple of months so hope to sell lots of these. Will post pics of any I make. I also did a lot of this type of 'hamper' for my older nieces for Christmas and they seemed to appreciate them!

  • Cheeky, they look great! :T

    Tina, i love your work, it's so beautiful! x
  • Thanks Casey really kind of you - remember though all the projects i pick are really simple (a bit like me lol!) so anyone can do them.

    It was my FIL birthday at weekend and as a stocking filler i got him a big bar of chocolate and a bottle of red wine he likes. i thought i would dress them up to make them less boring. Self explanatory how i did it but some instructions on my blog if anyone isn't sure.
