Cards, cake and needle cases.

I have been making cards this week, birthday cards for my Dad and wedding anniversary cards for both my Mum and Dad and my sister and her husband (they're both on the same day).

Birthday cards.





 Anniversary cards







You have to have cake on a birthday, don't you? For my Dad's birthday we had an amaretto cake from Paolo and Donato's deli in Liverpool, which was positively gorgeous (they make the best ice cream too!).


  
On the sewing front, I completed a dozen needle cases that were a commission. I'm only showing one photo of these as they've not been seen by the lady who ordered them as yet.

This week I am going to dive into my things made Christmas box so I can have a head start on the christmas making.

 P.S. As usual I'm taking part in Handmade Monday, pop over to see what everyone's been up to (I'd like to appologise to everyone who's blogs I didn't get round to visiting last week on the Handmade Monday list. I was visiting a lot of blogs thanks to 'Where bloggers create 2013' and there are only so many computer hours in a week.)

    What a busy, busy time of year for you. The anniversary cards are my favourite. I love the way you have carried the theme on inside the card as well. A very nice touch. Good luck with Christmas x

    Lovely cards! And I'd like to see more of the needle case - I need to make one (for myself) and need some inspiration!

    The needle cases look really cute, and that cake looks so scrumptious. I know what you mean about Christmas, as I have just committed myself to 3 Christmas fairs, but am just going to knit and knit on my holiday.

    I thought the cake card was the best! (only joking...but that would be my favourite invention. And yes, it's never too early to start thinking about Xmas...
