Sunday Knit

Morning Coffee

Mum made Star

I should probably make more of an effort to get out of the house on a Sunday. But you know meh, this is what's been going on in my world this today.

I might attempt some yoga later, but at the moment I am enjoying a spot of knitting and coffee drinking.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Practice Cupcakes

Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Just threw together some basic vanilla cupcakes they weren't really the important part. I just needed something to practise my newly learnt skills, and ideas on.

The flowers are maybe a little big for cupcakes, but I wasn't going to buy 2 different sized cutters just for practising.

It also gave me a chance to have a play with the colouring, surprising how little you need, I might have a bit more fun with it next time though and make the flowers a bit darker in the middle.

The top 2 cakes on the right were done utilising a lattice stamp that gives a quilted effect, you are meant to rock it around the side of a big cake, but it gives a rough idea of what it should look like.

Overall I'm pleased with how they came out and feel pretty confident that I'll be able to decorate the final wedding cake without it looking too, ''homemade''. Think a little more practise is in order, but at least I can make some tasty mistakes.

Do you think I'm mad trying to make and decorate my own wedding cake?

Hastings Museum

 Today we decided to visit our local museum. I've lived in this town my whole life and I don't ever remember going, I'm sure I did when I was small but I just don't remember. It's such a cute building and as entry is free it's nice to go visit when you are at a loose end I just haven't done until now.

Most of the exhibitions cover our local history as you would expect, mods and rockers, local landmarks, 1066 and all that jazz. 

But for me the most spectacular part of the museum is when you stumble upon the Thomas Brassy exhibition, a large room two floors high full of the most beautiful carvings, the walls doors and ceilings were all completely covered in these beautiful carvings. I could have spent hours just looking at all the intricate details. Definitely worth a second visit at some point.

Most of my pictures didn't come out that great as it's quite dark, so this is just a taster. I believe you can also get married in this room which would be a beautiful setting for your special day.

There are so many other little things to look at as you go around this compact little museum. We only stayed for around half an hour but I could imagine whiling away hours if the mood took you.

Do you have a local museum, have you been? 

Lazy Sunday

I love a lazy Sunday don't you, especially after a hectic Saturday. I had to get my car sorted, fit new doors to my kitchen cupboards, all on an empty stomach! We were meant to be getting a new fridge so didn't really have any food in, and I had to drill new holes for all the doors which made for a lot of shouting, whoops. Luckily we were going round to a friends for dinner so at least that was fun.  

But today has involved a lot of sitting, pulled pork in the slow cooker, so minimal energy has been required all day.

Did some more of a scarf I started the other day.

Made a start on my fellas jumper, as the wool arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait.

All whilst getting our geek on with a Marvel film fest, so far we've done Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, X-Men First Class and now Wolverine Origins.

And of course hanging out with this little cutie.

What do you get up to on your Sundays?
