    Thanks chazzy2008, you're cake is gorgeous!

    Also bought some of those burp cloths from matalan last week too they are fab and i have used them on the middle layer too- just the right size!
    They also do great frilly edged socks that are great for the sock rose buds.

    Have you got a dunelm mill near you? they also have gorgeous fleece blankets for 1.99.

    Finished my pink one for a friend :) Ended up spending £30 on all of the stuff (shock, lol) but as it was a friend I didnt mind not making a profit. :)

    Everyone in work commented on it and have 2 orders for blue ones now!! Looking forward to this as not done a blue one before :D

    ALSO my boss wants me to make one from all the stuff in work, so it will be a Plymouth Argyle themed one. Unfortunately Ill be doing it during work hours so wont be making any cash from this :( But itll be fun!

    Seriously thinking of making up some business cards just to hand out to friends who I make cards for, in the hope that my name will spread!

    So now I NEED to get cheap toys. Still struggling to find them for less than £3 each. Help! Lol
