  7. Hi Victoria, yes, certainly nothing wrong with the odd packet-bake! They look sweet.

    I loved that quote about chocolates/life.....certainly true about the Revels...why on earth can't you buy a 'fondant filled choclate bean' ones only...they're the only ones I like!

    And look at those Passion Flowers...beautiful, they always look too exotic to do well in UK climate.Lx

  8. Am avidly watching Olympics and as I write this, the GB women's scullers have just been presented with their gold medals! I read that book and enjoyed it too ... I like all the revels really, so what does that say about me? Love your scrabble art, and the passion flowers are just incredible! Have a lovely prize-winning weekend!

  11. So true about the revels - I'm always hoping for the caramel one! Loving the Olympics, we went yesterday and the rest of the time I've been glued to the telly!

    Your heart bunting and scrabble pictures are great - I wanted to make one for my nephew but I just couldn't make his names fit together!

  14. The glittery princess fairy cakes look so yummy. You know, I am really into fairies right now. I love the rainbow heart bunting. It's so cheerful. My husband has been watching the Olympics - he was an athlete growing up, and he's enjoying them. A happy Sunday to you.

  17. What a great post! Really love that crocheted bunting, the colours are so bright. I read The language of Flowers a little while ago and loved it...Hope you do too. I've never grown a passion flower before, are they easy to grow? Looks like you are having fun in the summer hols. Enjoy the sunshine! XXX
