Cupcakes for Clara

Look who we found...

... hiding under Clara'a arm -

MOOSEY!

We're not sure where she came from, but we're guessing that Clara made her. Although Clara insists that Moosey is not a bit like her twin sister Macy, it could be argued that she is...

Moosey has even had her clothes patched up with the same fabric as Clara's own clothes, and now Clara doesn't seem to be without her - although not in front of Macy. Oh no, that would never do!

So it seems that maybe Clara does love Macy after all - she just doesn't want Macy to know that! And maybe she even loves me, because Clara has very kindly given Moosey to me to borrow for the weekend as a bit of good luck. This weekend I'm getting married! Oh my goodness, I am so giddy it is untrue. I have literally been jumping around the house for the past few days with excitement, and also (slightly shamefully) getting upset over cakes, and make up. It's amazing what emotions a wedding can bring out in a person.

And here's a little concern... on tuesday I went to buy a lipstick. I don't normally wear lipstick but thought I should get something to wear for the wedding. And so there I was very quietly and calmly browsing through the unknown territory of lipstick, doing fairly well until...

... a make up counter assistant came over and offered her advice. Well, to cut the story short, two days later I still have a hideous dark pink streak on my hand where she tested the 'perfect' lipstick. Oh it's brilliant, she said - will stay on for 12 hours. Just right for a wedding. Hmmph. I don't think so... it won't come off! I've tried everything! Ah well, at least she didn't test it on my lips!

So, I'm off... to get married here. And I'll be back in a week or so, no longer Miss Fairbrother but Mrs Clempson. Wish me luck! And have a little giggle at this by Molly Chicken.

Au revoir mes amis x x

Just a little reminder...

that if you would like anything from this wonderfully sweet establishment to arrive in time for christmas, please may you order by the end of tomorrow. Things may be a teensy bit delayed because I'm getting married in one week, and then I'll be away for a week. But I'll keep in touch and get as much sent outover the next few days as possible.

And as Clara reminded me, 'Weddings are far more important than christmas puddings, unless the pudding is actually for Clara, and then it is far more important than anything!'

Thank you so much x

And the winner is... (part two)

The illusive C... no name just C!

Well C, you have won yourself a lovely fattie christmas pudding. I used a random number generator so no fixing could be done.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered, and I'm sorry that I can't give each and every one of you your own pudding. But you can purchase one from this lovely establishment!

And the winner is... (part one)

So before I show you what christmassy goodness I have made, let me tell you a little something... Clara has been up to a bit of her usual bossiness and has persuaded me to hold a competition. So, if you would like the chance of winning one of these...

And my favourite of all... Clara and Macy Holiday cards.

Clara is up to her old tricks and has wrapped up a special gift just for you...

Yep... you guessed it, she wrapped up Macy!
Cards are available on their own or as a set of two with a 'wrapped Macy' gift tag.

THANK YOU LOTS

to everyone who has voted for the Clara and Macy snowman in the Softie Awards.

And just a quick note to my Dad, who may be reading, we love you and hope you get well as soon as possible, (he's in hospital with a very nasty gallbladder infection and stuck gallstones).

Have a lovely weekend everyone x

shortlisted... woo hoo!

Clara and Macy have been shortlisted in the Holiday Softie Awards and they would love for you to vote for them. Clara even said 'pretty please?' which is quite impressive I think you'll agree.

Congratulations to all of the other nominee's - what a wonderful selection of talent. Good luck x

Oh and just to let you know, the craft fair was lovely. It was the first time I had shown my actual toys in public and I was overwhelmed with the response. People seemed to love them! Especially Clara and Macy, and quite a few even asked when there will be Clara and Macy books out for them to buy. Maybe soon, I hope?!

And I will be adding quite a few new products to the shop over the next week but I'll send a newsletter out to let you know what and when. Mostly Christmas things, I think.
