The sun is here! May had a lovely time in the garden the other day. As you can see I'm still playing with my Hipstamatic app.
We celebrated our second wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's two years already. Crazy. We had a lovely dinner at The French House in Soho, selected because we met there for a drink on our first date. We are about to tuck into steak with bernaise sauce. I really need to get our wedding pictures organised. I still haven't had prints made of any of them. Very slack.
I made a cake for a friend's birthday. I deliberated about what flavour to do and settled on a rosewater and pistachio recipe I cut out of a magazine a while ago. Unfortunately I forgot to make a note of where I got it from but I think it may be a Nigel Slater recipe. It was lovely and moist and not too sweet. Looked pretty too.
And finally a picture of some fabric for my next quilting project. I need to collect a few more but I'm pleased with the start. My plan is to do a more traditional square patch quilt on one side and then a free form abstract design on the reverse. I particularly like the second one down on the right. It's from the V&A shop. They don't have a huge selection but I really liked this design and the quality of the cotton is lovely. The others were all ordered from Cotton Patch or ebay.
