And I'm back! :)

At least I'm going to try to blog again.. :) Autumn is here so maybe there will be more time to sit by the computer, especially July went by with very little computer time. Most of July I was at the cottage where the internet connection is sooooooo slow but I didn't have very much interest of sitting with a laptop anyway. I spent most of my time swimming and picking blueberries and just generally enjoying summer!
I did miss my sewing machine and oven a tiny bit, but as I said, there just wasn't time :)
Now I've been going almost double speed instead :P especially as I had an order for a wedding cake for tomorrow, it's delivered already so I can breath again ;)

Raspberry mousse cake รก la me ;) and roses, roses, roses.. took some time to make them all.. but for once I didn't start at the last minute! :)
I actually started my sewing at the cottage, mum had both her sewing machines with her (she's got an overlock/serger too *envious*) so I made the mock-up for a shirt/blouse. I think it turned out quite nicely and I already used it once! I wanted to finish it in time for our family reunion and I did.

More roses! But I didn't have to make these by hand :P
I've also made a purse for a dear friend, and I have some more ideas to try out.. a passport cover for one.. and some new ways of sewing that I've found when reading heaps of blogs! :)
I found the tutorial (that I actually followed almost completely) for my friends purse here: Pink Penguin isn't it a lovely name too :) oh yes, a pic of the purse:



That was it for today, let's see when I'll post next :P
