Occasionally I go away and leave Mr S. Only occasionally. When I do though, I always leave him a treat. His favourite are lemon curd cupcakes. A crunchy dark chocolate coating a lemon sponge filled with lemon curd.
Sometimes I make a count down. It isn’t Mr S’s favourite option though, because he’s limited to one a day! More liked are the (more chocolatey) chocolate lemon hearts.
And yes, no doubt they are hand made – that piping needs some more work!
Mr S and I get through a lot of paper napkins in an average week. Sometimes we’ve moved over to the fabric ones, in a bid to be a bit more environmentally friendly, but then we get confused over whose is whose. In a bid to untangle our germs (although, I’m not sure it really matters that much!), out came the needle and thread.
The flower was freehand. I just started and waited to see what came out. Mr S’s request, a bike, needed a bit of thought, so I drew it first (but didn’t let him see until it was finished):
Feeling pretty chuffed that I’d taken a good step in reducing my carbon footprint, a second pair had to be made so the first could be washed! Out came the needle again. Well, actually, it involved a trip to the haberdashery to get the blue thread, but that’s hardly a chore! Mr S (of course):
And not forgetting me:
I love to make things. This is where I record my work and share interesting little things I stumble across both online and in the streets of Cairo, Egypt, where I live.
