Hello

It feels a bit strange being on here. I have finally finished my course and can't get used to having free time. It's been a long slog and I must have used up couple of trees worth of paper.

I have missed blogging, reading everyones news and I really need a fix of vintage splender from you all. Pinterest has kept me going for a while infact it has probably caused a few late pieces of course work along the way.

I had a trip back to my northern roots at the weekend to visit an elderly (104yrs) relative in hospital. This shop made me laugh it was good to be back in the north :)

This is a pic taken in The Peak District not far from where we used to live I love this house its very Wuthering Heights.

looking forward to reading your news

Bye for now wherever you are

Sweet Treats

Last day at school today so I thought I would share with you a little gift I made for a couple of colleagues.
I first saw these on Pinterest but they were made with large candy canes, I thought I would try using these mini ones.

Set the canes together to form a heart shape on baking parchment, melt some chocolate I used milk, spoon into the centre and decorate, I also added some edible glitter. Place in a cold place to set overnight.
I put four hearts plus some mini marshmallows on a square of cello paper and tied in a bow.
