I'm so glad that I've discovered talesfromcuckooland - I'll DEFINATELY be stopping by on a regular basis now!!!<br />I LOVE your cardie!!! I have that book, and that design is one of my absolute favourites! But it looks sooooo tricky, and I haven't done much embroidery before. How tricky would you say it would be for an almost-beginner? And how did you get the design on to the cardie?<br />AMAZING cake too, by the way! You must be so patient to make all those teeny-tiny flowers! Your friend must have been so happy with it!!!<br />See you soon..... <br />Carly<br />xCrafted by Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286564187385653230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-64657664977617525052011-10-07T11:02:02.588+01:002011-10-07T11:02:02.588+01:00Hi, just popped over from Modern Country.

I'm always trying to think of thrifty ways to make clothes go further and look nicer - I shall have to keep that one up my sleeve.<br /><br />I've never made (I said made to make you feel good :-) a wedding cake like you, but I had to make pretty cupcakes for a friend's after wedding drinks...they did not turn out as hoped, turns out icing can be too runny!<br /><br />Well done, and keep that sign in your van - if it works at getting people off your tail and letting your relax on the road - DO IT! haha!<br /><br />Lizzy xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-25007074482807608402011-10-06T23:19:54.185+01:002011-10-06T23:19:54.185+01:00Love the embroidery - very clever.

And I can sympathise on the cake front - I have done a bit of cake decorating in the past and once spent the most agonising 3 1/2 hr journey to the west midlands with a christening cake that had a very fragile iced crib on it - I think I winced over every bump and pothole and got very stressed if we went much over 40 mph!!

It must feel extra special when you wear it :-)<br /><br />Oh you must have had a busy week. How do you do it with your kids being still so young?

In a way I wish you hadn't shown it because now along with all the crocheting projects, the bundle of little patches I bought last week that have been languishing on the dining room table half pinned and half tacked since last Friday and the piles of unfinished painted furniture I have in the garage I now have another thing I want to start doing. I'm not letting myself buy that book till I finish at least one thing. (It won't be the patchwork, I got bored with that after about 7 minutes.)<br />Big up to you for the cake, the hydrangeas look lovely, looking forward to seeing the whole thing.<br />xxMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770551694049478266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-62326939100008979492011-10-05T18:39:12.549+01:002011-10-05T18:39:12.549+01:00Cardigan looks amazing!
