Margate

Well haven't had chance to post about my little trip round the Turner centre last week. I thought it was a lot smaller than I expected but they seem very enthusiastic, I enquired what exhibitions we could expect but they are not releasing details until the Autumn but they have planned as far ahead as 2013.

I also asked about parking - they are expecting people to park in College Road Car Park and walk through the Old Town past all the shops. Trouble is I wouldn't park in that car park as I find it very scary and so do a lot of people I have spoken too, hmmm!

So that's another trip to Margate under my belt, next one will be for the Kite Festival.

Broadstairs Harbour

I had a good day at Broadstairs Market today, met lots of interesting people, watched the local kids hurl themselves off the end of the pier, chased litter around to stop it wrapping itself round by tables, ate freshly made doughnuts (haven't done that in years) and generally had a lovely day!

Broadstairs Harbour Market

Off to sell my wares at Broadstairs Harbour market tomorrow, thank goodness the wind has dropped.

My littleun has had a nasty ear infection all week so in between feeding him medicine and given him hugs, I have been trying to make some more jewellery to sell this week, which hasn't been easy.

How do other people manage to work from home? Its very difficult and with the holidays coming up I am wondering how its going to work. The Broadstairs Harbour market will be around all folk week and hopefully weather and stock permitting I will be there, and then we are going on holiday! I think I am going to need it.

How does you garden grow?

I have been making a lot of flower brooches, hair slides etc to take to Broadstairs Harbour Market on Sunday - hope its not as windy as last week, we had to take the gazebo down or we would have ended up in the sea.

We were quite surprised by the amount of tourists we spoke to on Sunday, didn't know they existed in such large quantities, everybody loved the place and the majority said they would be back!

So TDC listen up, stop cutting the tourism budget, the tourists are here and they need looking after.

Cupcakes

This is my very good friend Emma from Ems Truly Scrumptious Cupcakes she is selling her very delicious cupcakes at The Dickens Festival, Victoria Gardens from 10am - 5pm. If you would like some more info on the cakes she makes please just click on this link http://www.emscupcakes.co.uk/

Windy day

The north easterly wind did blow yet again today which made it a really good day for flying a kite but you had to wrap up warm because it was freezing!

Sock monkeys

I have been busy creating again. This time it's sock monkeys - my youngest has already sneaked this one into his bedroom.

This one has found a new home with a friend.

And this one has gone to my eldest's girlfriend.

I was supposed to be selling them ebay and folksy, oh well gives me an excuse to make some more.

Just a few photos of my garden.

It's looking quite promising

After the winter I was not too hopeful.

But fingers crossed,

It looks like it might be a vintage year!

Lemon meringue cupcakes

I did a lot of cooking last week, and these were one of my better creations - Lemon Meringue Cupcakes.

I have been wondering whether you could make a lemon meringue pie into a cupcake and strangely enough I bought a cake book last week and there was a recipe for them, so how could I resist.

I tried them out on all the family and everybody agreed they were delicious.
