Anniversary cake and dream catcher

We celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary this week.

I have been worrying whether I should attempt to make the cake or not

We are having a family dinner out at our favourite Italian Ristorante.

Sooooo,I am taking the cake.  I wasn't sure that it would be nice enough

to take, but I played around for weeks with so much icing,I was about to give up

and buy one.

You know how you talk yourself out and then into things

Well that's what I kept doing,until this week,only a couple of days until the dinner,

and too late to order one,I made a heart shape butter cake.

I wasn't sure whether to use the roses I had made or the purchased ones

These are the ones I made from Royal icing.

So I got to decorating and within an hour it was done.

All that worry and it just fell into place.

I put the ones I made on the cake and the bought ones around the edge.

I'm not very good at the iced writing,so stuck on some I cut off a 50cent card.

I think it's really come out all right.

Now I wanted to make a Dream Catcher which seems to be all over Blogland at the moment.

My friend Sandy at For the Love of White blog

posted a tutorial of some she had made.

I haven't had time to shop for a hoop yet but had a pair of plastic bag handles

 in my stash of bits and bobs

I thought I could practice with those.  They are only small but still a hoop.

This is my first attempt which I got a bit confused with the middle spider web

This is my second attempt.  I think I need lots more practice when I get a bigger hoop.

I still quite like these though,even though they aren't perfect,I can't quite get the 

spider web middle right.

I think this one might just be a little too tissy,  but it's fun playing with the different looks.

I think it looks better on my bedroom curtains

I so love the soft pink

Happy Week
