In our family there are several birthdays close together at this time of year. This week it was daughter no.2's birthday - can you believe she is now 23. Not too old for a birthday tea made by her Mum though!
The birthday cake was a chocolate marble cake with white chocolate and cherries, with white chocolate buttercream icing.She likes owls and had asked if I would make her an owl cushion. This is my homemade version of one she saw in a shop.
Firmly stuffed or what? A huge amount of stuffing has somehow disappeared into it.
Some respite from the stifling heat today. Thank goodness cooler temperatures are being forecast for next week. I might even get some gardening done.
Enjoy your week whatever you're doing.
ETA: There is no pattern for the owl, it was based on a similar ready-made one and I just winged it (no pun intended)
