I also couldn't resist making some chunky chocolate letters using my new love letters mould from Bombay Duck, method same as chocolate lollipops.

ReplyDeletei have been looking at your pins and wonder where you bought the lovely thread holder (wirework sewing machine top)? i have never left a comment on your blog before but always read it as it is so informative and pretty. i always look at your pinterest boards too. i often wonder how you have the time and the energy to do all that you do - for example all your home made gifts at christmas time and they look so professional - i liked the lip glosses. you are obviosly a woman of many talents from crafting to cooking and with such an eye for colour - fabulous.
