So imagine my joy when a little while later I got an e-mail from Julie to say I'd been one of the lucky five who had won a pattern for her knitted cupcakes, now I can knit these little cakes - aren't they gorgeous?

I've also been tagged by the lovely Kitty for 7 things. I've thought about this tag for a few days now and still haven't managed to get 7 of everything but I'll give it a go.

7 Things I Do Now..
1. Too much bloomin washing up!!
2. Watch Spanish Football
3. Try to make things , then leave them all over the house which really annoys Hub -- oops

3. Crochet - but it's definately on my list of things to learn
4. Stop myself from buying chocolate every time I go to the shops - seriously
5. Have a bath, it's showers every time for me
6. Stay up late - I have every respect for you crafters who can stay up until the early hours

I know so much more about you now. You are not fussy when it comes to men, and you like chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate, a girl after my own heart. I love the spider cupcake, very cute. lou x
Its nice to find out some facts. Sounds like you have the same conversations I have..'I'm busy now' etc.
I'm back blogging by the way!
Oh fun! Gotta put my thinking cap on.
The spider cupcake is cute! My boys would go crazy over that one.
Oh, thank you for doing this one - you need to accept the award that goes with it too though!
I'm afraid I had to google Jay Manuel - never heard of him. I love Nick Drake though!
Can't wait to see your version of Julie's cake patterns - her stuff is so gorgeous.
Thanks for playing along.

You make me laugh!!! Those cup cakes are too yummy for words!!! I just bought myself another book like the one I sent you ... I am going to dig down deep in my memory bank (back to pre-teen years OUCH) and have a go at them ... one day! Thanks for the tag but it may have to wait until I get home. Hope you are all well. I am pissed that I can't send emails ... sorry about the long comment :)
Love the spider cupcake!! Well done on the pattern win. Your lists were so funny - we have a lot in common - especially the love of chocolate!
love the cupcake!
thanks for the tag - although my list might include 7 types of chocolate!
Great spider cupcake Lisa - and your 7 (ish) facts were good too! Congratulations on winning one of Julie's patterns! Lucy x
I liked learning more about you!
I can't wait to see your cupcakes you make.
The colour of those leaves in your header are gorgeous, I don't think I have ever seen such a pretty combination. Congratulations on your cupcake pattern win and the award. I like your facts too! What is it with spiders, I feel just like you. x

I love your woolly spider! I bet you have a great sense of humour really! Thanks for the comment on my blog. It looks like a Christmas tree so I called it a fir tree but it could very well be a yew tree for all I know!
Lovely answers, we sure do know a lot more about you now! Loving the spider cupcake, it is so darn cute!
Those cupcakes look great!

Ooo a tag for me, thanks. I'll have to give it some thought as my brain is on a go slow at the moment!
