Blackberry and basil soap

The house is smelling lovely as i made a batch of Blackberry and basil soap i tried a swirling on the bottom part of the soap but i think i need more practice apart from that i am happy with my soap blackberries i made and i'm loving playing around with colour.

Strawberry cupcake soaps

Afternoon tea ..... well with a twist these are my new creation soaps which are a strawberry cupcake and i have made realistic strawberries to sit in the whipped cream on top of the cup cake base and of course a good twinkling of glitter.

Dessert anyone?

Feeling pleased as punch with my new creation curing on the racks, Cookies and cream soap.  This has chocolate chip cookie dough base piled with whipped cream and topped with chocolate cookie and a touch of fairy glitter for some sparkle.  Looks good enough to eat but i wouldn't recommend it.  I really need a particular mould as any soapers out there will notice im suffering from a bit of spread, but for my first attempt with a mould i knew would do this it isn't to bad so ill have to save some pennies and get a better mould.

Dairyland and misty Mawgan Porth

Our adventures continue with a trip to Dairyland  by the sounds of it, it did not sound too promising but we were pleasently surprised as it was a great place to take a little one for the day there was so much to do.

First day at school

I have found a nostalgic picture of Sophie on her first day back to school I am so proud of her and she looked really great in her smart new uniform and she was excited to go and couldn't wait to play and meet all the other children. We met her lovely teacher and the class was a hive of activity she settled in quickly and we had to go and find her to say goodbye, she wondered why we were going but when we explained she was perfectly fine and the only person that had a wobble was me !!  My that year past by really fast followed by the next one too.

A new school year is looming and as we are moving away to start a life a new with a new school my mind is already thinking about the shopping list of school uniform i will need to buy, not only has she grown but it is a colour change too.   

I bought lots of the bits for her first years School uniform from Asda from the George range initially lead in because of the fabulous 150 day guarantee school uniform range, great quality and value for money.  I was not disappointed the uniforms were so great they actually lasted 2 years of Sophie's School career. Wowzers that is great.  So now i cant wait to take Sophie shopping and get her excited about her new school with a bit of retail therapy.  There are such a great range of pinafores too but then Stylish Sophie saw these cute Hello Kitty range so she can be one of the cool girls.  The prices are so fantastic that i am really tempted to get Sophie a lovely Gingham dress for the last of the Summer term to help keep her cool on those hot days how can you not at only £4.  I really love how Asda think of both mums budget and the kids practicality and style, We cant wait for the first day of school!!
