Slack.....

Slack, slack, call me slack.....I promised to write an entry last week but between a sick daughter and a sick me, I just didn't have the time, energy or wellness to get it done.  Woe is me.  But I'm on the way to feeling better so thought I'd delight you all with a Friday Fuzzy and last weeks Cupcake Challenge cupcake but sadly no ramble, maybe next week.  

Friday Fuzzy....

Write it on your heart that every day is 

the best day of the year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Positive, positive, positive!  That's what I've learned lately.  Treat every day as if it's your best, try your hardest, be your happiest {even if you're not that happy, fake it!} be your friendliest, be your kindest.  It's worth a shot :)  And as my Honey says to me 'be open minded' lol...actually he usually says that when I disagree with him hahahah.

The Cupcake Challenge

52 weeks. 52 cupcakes.

Week Two. 

 Macy has been a bit sick the past two weeks but she managed to rustle up a batch of 

super yummy chocolate cupcakes and because they were quite rich, she decided to just 

dust the top with icing sugar.

She's currently flicking through recipe books deciding what flavour to make for next week.  Who knew there were so many cupcake recipes, flavours and ideas out there???  Crazy!

And, I just have to share my latest cushions with you.....made for Macy and her bestie, Kate.  Little One Direction {you know, 1D the boy band!!} pillows for their beds.  I've got quite a list of designs for my cushions so keep your eyes out for more cushion photos popping up in future posts.

That's another week done.  Enjoy your weekend.  Get better soon if you are sick!  

I'm excited because my Daddy is coming up for a visit this weekend, yay <3

Talk soon

I must make a confession....I cheated once or twice this month.  I did use a couple of photos that I had taken previously in the month and used them for the daily prompt! So technically I still took the photos...just maybe on a different day.  It was a hectic month {that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!}  Phew!  I feel good getting that off my chest!!!!  

Here's a photo of my gorgeous little sister, Drewe, with the cushion I made for her.  I'm having so much fun making cushions....I have another 5 or 6 designs on the go so I should have more to show you soon :)  The cheeky person Jenesyde who called Drewe 'Drufus' {up in the comment by the photo} is our big brother Todd!!! And that's a typical comment from him, lol.

I'll see you again on Friday when I'm back with Macy's cupcake for the week, a Friday Fuzzy and a bit of a ramble.

Bet you can't wait!!!
