bluespiritWhat a smashing weekend!
Mr B & I went to the 'Cake & Bake Show' in Manchester on Saturday. It was a great event with lots of demonstrations from various well-known chefs, including some of the Great British Bake-Off winners, as well as stalls selling all kinds of cake paraphernalia - & cake to eat! Yum! We shared a gorgeous slice of traditional Caribbean rum cake made by a husband & wife team that was simply divine! (Now I'm hunting for a recipe because I need to eat more of that! *g*)
Then on Sunday, we drove down to London so that I could meet the sweet & lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hilde for lunch while Mr B went off & did his own thing.
It was so lovely to seehilde again & we had a very long - & very chatty *g* - lunch discussing lots of fandom things. :)
As Hilde is a bit (a bit!) of an Angliophile, I'd made her a Union Jack inspired cushion that hopefully will squash down enough to fit in her case!
Oh, & I've used some of that gorgeous black lab fabric that Mr B surprised me with to make a little bag that I took for a test drive this weekend. :)
It has an extra long strap so that I can wear it across my body.
The colour of the lining matches the collar of the labs on the fabric. I also included several inside pockets for my phone, Oyster card, lipstick, etc.
A couple of buttons just for some fun detail. :)
I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend!
*hugs*
