birthday season



some flowers & afghans i made today for the lovely libby's birthday. the afghans are in a great baking book called 'ladies, a plate' traditional home baking, by alexa johnston. we have had a busy weekend of birthdays & it has only just begun really, it seems most of our family's birthdays fall in winter starting in july & running full tilt until the end of august. louis turned 6 today so we had his party on saturday, he ordered a truck cake from the birthday cake book this year which was a challenge. i was pretty happy with how it turned out until the weight of the tilted trailer made it slip off the plate.
