The dress... or then again, maybe not

I found the perfect little christening dress for Brownie at Next...


...but it's sold out. Gazelle preferred one we'd found at Debenhams anyway. If I could sew well enough, I would try to make her a little white dress in silk and give it a satin ribbon trim with a organza apron and sash and little organza puffball sleeves, and if I thought I would actually finish it on time I would knit a little lace cardigan to go with it... sigh. I know I'm not that great on the machine (only sewn a cushion cover) or that fast on the needles (I started a neckwarmer last week Monday and I'm still only halfway through). Ah well, such is life.

I've just ordered the card blanks and envelopes for the invites. Plain white squares from Liz's crafts. Planning to print the text on them in black - Garamond font set in italics. I've been thinking about what Gazelle said about the colour scheme... I probably should keep it nice and simple. We could have a white chocolate cake... or even a red velvet chocolate cake. I'll have to have a long talk with Kels about that, as I know she's not particularly keen on red velvet chocolate cake... but they look so pretty... when they're done well that is. I mean, even if we didn't have a big red velet cake, Bakerella's cake balls are just too cute not to be attempted!


I dare you to disagree abut them being absolutely delightful... LOL! FYI, Bakerella is the lady reponsible for 'Cake Pops' - please correct me if I'm wrong. If you have no idea what they are, you need to take a minute to find out now! If you know me well, then you'll know that they combine two of my favourite things... lollipops and cake. :D

I've just realised it's 2.20 in the morning, I should be asleep, not ogling cakes and sweet treats. I need to be up in a few hours so I'm off to bed, but not before grabbing a chocolate brownie from the kitchen.

Ciao for now
