Look - they're nearly ripe! I've been checking on them daily since they were babies, and now the first ones are almost ready to eat! Tomorrow, I reckon. Fresh from the garden, warm from the sun - that's the way to eat tomatoes.

One more thing crossed off the list: placemats. These were quilted in a batch of bibs, but I decided long ago they were way to dark for babies - well for most babies - so I ran some binding round the edges, and voila: placemats.

Brown used to be my favourite colour, but I think now it's green. I still like brown, just not as much as I like green. And nowhere near as much as this woman likes orange.

I created a golf course cake for my brother's 30th last weekend. I have to say I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. The biggest fan of the cake, though, was my 3 year old nephew Henry - he loves his golf, and he knew what it was straight away. I think he liked this cake even more than the tiger one we made for his second birthday - and he was pretty impressed with that one at the time! This green iced concoction - he was still looking for it the day after the party, and the day after that - luckily there was a lot of cake so they took plenty home!

It was a very rainy Wednesday, so I abandoned my "out" todo list and got stuck into the "craft" todo list. All these dresses are now just waiting for a button, and then they will be finished, ready to go with this one to the Reverse Garbage exhibition. On Monday. Must get going on those buttons!

Don't they look pretty all stacked up like that? Who knew I had so much lace? And I'm not even close to running out...
