fruit cake

Yesterday we celebrated S's birthday.  He's a big 7 year old now, and no longer a kid, he informs me. (he informs me of this change in status yearly, apparently he feels it bears repeating)

Since it was far too hot to bake, and my kids looove fruit anyway, I decided to make a cake based on some I had seen on Pinterest.  The kids helped.  And by helped, I mean they ate fruit while I made the cake.

The boy said he was glad he had such a healthy cake because he wanted some extra brain power.  He might need it for all the wishing he did.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Evicted

It would seem I've been evicted.  From Thirtyville.  (as coined by the talented girlsavage)  Yes, today I have packed my bags and moved into Fortyville.  I've already had a look around the joint and it looks OK from here.  Bacon and nutella for breakfast, lunch with my husband (without kids!), and the promise of ice cream.

I took advantage of my birthday status this morning and worked a little more on a project I've had in the works.  I hope to have it finished soon so I can show you.

I also had a chance to work on more mossy brooches yesterday.  Some are already spoken for, but there will be a few in my shop early next week. 

(aloha!)

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.  I'll think of you while I'm eating my er...sundae.  :D
