All you need is Love!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you're doing something nice with your loved ones today.

I thought this year I'd have a go at baking some mini Red Velvet cakes with these cute heart-shaped silicone baking cases and they worked a treat! Turns out to be pretty tasty too - I used a Nigella Lawson recipe, since she knows a thing or two about yummy bakes.

I also spotted this rather topical knit over at Mochimochi Land - it's a free pattern to knit a tiny rose! So adorable and a lovely idea for a last-minute gift. Read this blog post to find out more and to download a copy :)

If you're looking for nice ways to gift wrap something for your Valentine, I also have a few ideas to give you some inspiration in this Valentine's themed post.

Eastery Wishes

I do hope you all had a happy easter weekend! I had fun making these delectable little lovelies...

...and nibbling on other assorted chocolate treats :)

It has been a wee bit quiet around here for a little longer than I'd like, I won't go into all the details but one major reason is that I've been busy beavering away on several websites - one of these will be a brand new portfolio website for my web/graphic design work. I can't wait to show it off, it's not quite ready yet but it will be here soon!

In other news, was excited to see that the topics for Knitting & Crochet Blog Week 2012 have been announced - check this post on Eskimimi's blog for more info.

I'm also thrilled to be heading off to Geneva later this week to visit my sister and get a wee change of scenery - I will be taking my camera (and Ray-Bans, here's hoping for some sun!!) with me for sure! Hopefully I'll have some fun stuff to tell you about when I get back.

I've been taking part in this month's Photo a Day challenge, organised by the lovely Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim. You can find my submissions on my Instagram feed (look here to see my pics). I seem to be doing every other month so far! Are any of you lovely readers out there joining in this month too?
