Hope For Creativity ~ Take 2!

Well after an eventful end to my last attempt I tried again. I was feeling desperate and irritated at the waste of time and initially messed about with some other ideas. I won't show you the awful outcome, but I now know my talents do not cover unicorns, butterflies, mermaids or generally anything that could ever be termed animal.
Onwards and upwards, I decided to stick with my initial sketches. In the process I also discovered that my 'talents' do not cover repeating the same image. This time my idealistic older lady turned out more Manga than the realism I prefer to attempt, but strapped for time I just went with it.

Scottish Home Baking Awards 2014

Well September was a busy time for all Scottish bakers and home baking fans. On the 28th of September the Scottish Home Baking Awards hosted its annual awards ceremony at Mar Hall on the banks of the river Clyde. I was on holidays from my delightful workplace when my esteemed leader called me to ask if I would be willing to give up one of my days off to attend. I must admit the decision to trade a day of household drudgery and children, with cake and champagne required little thought.
