Creating a piece of Art

I have never thought of myself as being particular arty, mainly because I suffer from something called an extreme lack of patience. I don't think there is anything I can do for a lack of patience, however since I don’t have a job at the moment and am something of a ‘housewife’ I find myself seeking out things I never would have bothered with in the past. 

This week I thought I would try baking my Grandma’s Honey Biscuits which are typically only cooked as a Xmas treat. And this time I thought I’d try and decorate them in the cupcake way, experimenting with the fondant and royal icing. Well below are the results. Tell me what you think!

A Blog for a Blogs sake

What is in a Blog? And why Blog?


I came across the term Blog the other day when in my many hours of unadulterated freedom in the land of Blighty I was googling and came across the term. Unlike twitter which I can't get my head around why anyone would bother... the Blog caught my interest and I found myself reading a number of them from all parts of the world. Some were utter crap by the way.

In any case in my efforts to expand the creative brain and keep my sanity I thought I would give this thing a go. Plus I'm sick of damn facebook and everyone posting shit about nothing... saying that, will that be me on this Blog? If it is, you have permission to pull me into line.

The other reason why I thought I'd do this, is I signed myself up for a novel writing course which starts next week. Since I have not written anything for such a long time, I thought I had better get some practice in.

So, the question is.... to Blog or not to Blog ....?


And how many times can one use the term Blog :)
