We went to Hobbycraft today, I got this set of 3 tea towels and matching tea cozy reduced to £1 each! Pretty!
We also went to the garden centre and I got mom this lavender plant for her birthday tomorrow. We also get her a big helium balloon but it deflated so we had to take it back this afternoon which was annoying :-(
We are popping out in the morning to get a replacement.

I wrapped moms presents up, pretty :-)
We moved the furniture around and set the table in preparation for everyone coming for lunch tomorrow.
I also made table confetti using my Fiskars flower punch in pretty pink and yellow spring colours to match the Battenburg Cake and more Turkish Delight!

I made the sponges today for the round battenburg cake. I am worried that despite using outrageous amounts of food colouring the sponges won't have much colour in them. We shall see in the morning when I have to cut rings from each sponge and place the pink cut outs in the yellow sponge and vice versa to get the checkerboard effect.
The sponge on the left had a spoonful of red food colouring added to turn it pink and the sponge on the right had almost *whispers* half a bottle of yellow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! food colouring added and neither of them look like they have enough colour in.
I was worried about adding too much colour in case 1 - they turned out fluorescent and 2 - we were bouncing off the walls from all the E numbers!
