Put on P'Js. Chat to hubby about all of the above. Sleep. soundly.

With slight variation I think when I wake up tomorrow it will probably be the same:) all over again. Sigh....

It's what I do. Though tiring, patience-testing, energy-sapping...emotion draining, at times plain brain -depleting and downright toxic!....

I am truly blessed.

Pictures of my day

Thought I'd do a run down of my day (yesterday) pictorially. Well some of it anyway... Did spare you the nasties (this time:). Not my average day. Is there an average day?

Icing fun

A while ago I had a peek at this lovely blog. Feeling inspired and discovering this on the shelf in Woolies:

I decided to experiment...

First I outlined my sugar cookies with dark grey (I was a bit afraid of using more colouring to make it black...

Then filled it in

Then of course there are dalmations. Can someone tell me why they are associated with fire trucks? I guess they were used in the rescue? Not sure but thought they were a cute addition...

Thought it might be fun to take along to playgroup when the fire and rescue truck comes...

Ok for a first attempt but I obviously need to get the consistency of outline a bit smoother, use a finer icing tip (just used what I had). Oh and then there's the air bubbles. Never mind. I think they should recognise them?

Must confess it was a nice diversion from housework:)
