I've been busy today. Went for a 12k run at marathon pace this morning, then out to a friends for a paddle around his dam. While having coffee after our paddle his wife offered me the use her horse for the Blackwood Marathon. I might take her up on it instead of having DD drag hers all the way down from the NW. 

A quick bit of shopping then off to the cycling club to marshal an informal race. Once the riders were away I ran home where I made some non Thermie French Toast Muffins. Once they were out of the oven I dashed back to the finish line to be ready to help with the timing of the finish, warm baking in the car for the riders to refuel with.

Afternoon spent at the cycling club cooking burgers and enjoying the company of fellow cyclists. Then home for a rest and some dinner before commencing the ironing.

Luckily tomorrow is a rest day from training, I think I will need it.  :P

Good Morning lovelies  :-*.....I'm still alive & kicking!!
Hope all has been good, and your bellies are full  :)

My days & nights have been busy....making candles, making cupcakes, consultant for candle warmers & products, trying to keep on top of our business bookwork, full sport schedule & socialising  :P

I'm so proud of what I've been working on.  A gorgeous French range of candles, inspired by classic perfumes...all poured in beautiful French "bee" glass.  Here's a peek  ;)







An event on Wednesday, had their maiden voyage...fantastic feedback, so I know I'm on the right track  ;)
Some others that were on display





And another favourite is the hummingbird candle



Now the weather is warming, I will look for some nice market locations to attend...so far I've been selling by word of mouth.

Cooking has really taken a back seat, much to the families disappointment  :P  but now they do appreciate what they once had  ;)
.........EAT CAKE!

Maddy you've left a gap here and we miss you. You've certainly been very busy setting up your business. The candies look gorgeous - can I put an order in?

Maddy, how about posting in our non-TMX business section then it won't get lost.  Congratulations, I knew you would make a success of the candle business.  There can't be enough hours in the day for you these days.

Congratulations on the candle business Maddy. I'm so pleased that it is a winner. ( I knew it would be)
