Masquerade Mask Part 2

I am loving decorating my Masqurade Mask.
I have decided on a blue theme with a dragon fly down the nose and the classic frills at the eyes. I still need to do something with the crown that is on top of the mask

Masquerade Mask

I am in the process of designing a Masquerade Mask for my friends New Years Eve party. Very excited.

My partner and I decided to go to hobbycraft to buy a blank mask, rather than buying ones already made. I also got paint and glitter glue, he got a wreath in the christmas sales which he is going to cut up.

I do enjoy making things but I think it is more the designing I enjoy.

I have now decided on a design after 2 hours of drawing different patterns on paper and I have decided on a dragonfly down the centre with frills coming from the side of the eyes.

Christmas Decorations

We got some decorations from my Boyfriend's Grandma the other day.
Nice little angels, snowmen and skiers etc. given to her from my Boyfriend's Mum bought in Germany in the 80s. Some are a little battered and bruised but still lovely.

While shopping in Tesco today, we were looking at the Christmas decorations and noticed some little ornaments, that look EXACTLY THE SAME. Only ours are white and the ones in Tesco are in colour.

How Strange is that, not similar, they are identical.

Its Snowing

I know this sounds strange as the whole country is covered in snow but there has been none here.
So this is me getting very excited

ITS SNOWING
YAY

ITS SNOWING

I love snow and the fact that everyone else is fed up of the snow and we have had very little is very annoying.
Send you snow this way and I will be happy

Bread Maker

I am loving my Kenwood bread maker, saw some bad reviews of it before I bought it but it is doing me really well.


Not great on the small loaves if you don't check it has mixed in the corners you don't get the best loaf.


This is not a problem a loaf that is classed as small (500g) doesn't last a day in my household so not really worth making.


The best bread I have made so far has to be Chocolate Bread, it has chocolate chunks (70% plain chocolate, yum) and coca powder. Definitely a weekend bread. Nice on its own, with butter or on its own. Very nice toasted with honey. Think I might even use it in a bread and butter pudding if I have any left to use.


If you are thinking of buying the Kenwood bread maker and having doubts about it, just buy it. 
It is by far the best looking bread maker around, and if you follow the care instructions works perfectly.


I love my bread maker

Work

I love Tuesday evenings at work, from 3pm we can listen to next doors Karaoke, next door being a pub.
We can hear all the classics from 'Heartbeat' to 'There ain't nothing but a hound dog'.
The best bit is the trying to guess what the patrons are singing, my colleague guesses 'Build me up buttercup' for every song. So fun, another of my colleagues does not agree with me though, quite funny seeing him cringe with every word.

Joke I Just Remembered

There were two peanuts walking down the road, one was a salted

First Blog

OK so this is my first ever blog. Feel a bit like a Technophobe, but as I trained to be an Primary ICT teacher and now working as a computer programmer, I am not technically allowed to feel this way.
Not really sure what I want to talk about on my blog but I am sure it will be random from stupid things at work to bread making or wanting to become a mum. I am sure I will find lots to talk about.
