cake grief, mopping floors and WIPS.

Oh yes and am I!! It is my daughters birthday tomorrow. I decided to make her a cake. I usually just decide to do things on the spur of the moment and today was one of those days. Firstly I realise I have no eggs and I am right in the middle of making the cake. so I have to call at my parents to borrow a couple of eggs (luckily they live up the street from me and yes they have two!). Usually I mix cakes by hand, but today to save me a little time I used my food processor. Ingredients in, whizzing merrily away, I turn to the sink (my kitchen is small, you turn from the worktop, the sink is there), to wash a bowl I need.... food processor is obviously having a bit of a rebellious day... because it shudders across the work top, crashes to the floor and covers me and most of the kitchen in cake mix. What to do, what to do. It as one of those moment where you stand hands in the air not knowing where on earth to start! (I think I may have felt sorry for myself at this point) Some of the mix was left in the bowl so I managed to scrap together enough for eight fairy cakes, then I cleaned down my lovely boots that I had decided to keep on for some insane reason and my jeans, then I set to work on the floorand all the cupboards and oh good grief what a nightmare!
So I am away to the shops after I pick my daughter up from school and I guess I shall be baking a cake into the wee small hours tonight ready for tomorrow.
Because it is such a 'one of those days' day, I shall not be touching the doll I am working on. I guess she is my WIP. Now don't laugh but it took me ages to work out what WIP meant. I thought it must be some sort of code for crafting bloggers (I warned you earlier that I was like this!) The penny finally dropped yesterday when I exclaimed out loud ooohh 'Work in progress!!' So the doll who is looking so stern will just have to freeze a little longer because today I am not going to even attempt to make her dress because guaranteed.. it'll end in tears.
At least the sun is shining...
