Excellent Creations Born From Boredom

Sometimes I have days where although I have no motivation for genuine real life things, I am overcome by motivation to create my way out of boredom. Accordingly, here is a photo list of some nice things which I have made over the last few weeks, for your delight and delectation. Requests welcome!



This is a tasty yet over-large battenburg cake I made at my Uncle's behest. It was EXTREMELY nice. I think if I ever entered a cake competition I would enter one of these, though I would perhaps learn how to cover it properly first!



By the mystic regulation of our dark association, ere you open conversation with another kindred soul - you must learn to make sausage rolls and they must be delicious and your brother must eat them all.



These cakes were made because I really needed to play with the exciting icing gun thing that Mother Oliver has stored away. I then took them to our Tuesday night pub haunt and they inspired our quiz name, The Cake Faces! (This mainly hilarious because Quiz Man's broad Geordie accent pronounces it hilariously. Excellent.)



This is a lamp, originally from Asda during Uni years, which myself and Ashley fruitlessly tried to shift at several car boot sales, which I then eventually grew tired of seeing so I covered it in exciting things to make it suitable for my new room at new Uni. Now, give three cheers!



I love bunting. It represents everything quaint and British about the world. So yesterday I finished making some, with scraps from all parts of life - some of Buttercup's apron, some white cord from sailor collars, some old bed sheet, some from Ashley's attic. I find the overall effect rather delicious.



Now, while it is true that I didn't make this one, I did order it from Sunday Girl Accessories, who DID make it, and I love it, therefore it is worthy of a picture.


I leave you now to embark on 'Craft Day' with dear Miss Bell, so no doubt I shall return later with yet more exciting creations!
