New year, New hobby

Most of the time between summer and Christmas last year was spent editing Wedding videos, now they are out of the way i can make time for new things. For Christmas i got a lovely little Sewing Machine and i also got a great book on making 'Stupid Sock Creatures', put those two things together and here's the result...My first little buddy, his name is George, i think he might be Gay, anyway soon he shall have some friends. I like my new hobby but unlike baking you can't eat the damn things you just have to look at them and go 'awww'...

We'll try again!

Like last year i thought to myself, 'its a new year, i should do a blog'. Last years attempt consisted of two blogs into 2 months, (and both of them were crap) but i think i just had it all wrong last year, i was too thoughtful, no one would want to read my thoughts, i don't even want to read my thoughts, so i thought this year i wont babble, i'll just use this blog as a presenting/ showing off tool, simple! I like to make things.

And one of the first things i made this year was a Spiderman birthday cake for a four year old boy named Luke, it was his birthday and he likes Spiderman, thats was my thought process. Anyway, it was fun too make and i achieved the look i was after... come to think of it i'm pretty sure it was a magic cake, because after eating it, the lad was pratical climbing walls just like his superhero... nothing to do with the copious amounts of artificial colouring used in an extreme effort to get the icing red!
