Here was my darling boy this morning. It was lovely having him for his special birthday breakfast - home made pancakes, some with maple syrup (too sweet for me) and some with fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar (too tart for me). Granny and Grandpa had fresh orange sqeezed on theirs. We have now taken him home and this afternoon 10 little boys will run wild through space for two hours and this evening Granny and Grandpa will be going back to celebrate much more quietly with the adults. What a shame it is such a wet day today. It would have been nice to have had the party in the garden. It is also a shame as today is Long Eaton Carnival and it will be no fun sitting on a float in the rain. It is also the Derbyshire County Show which is to be held at Elvaston Country Park, and which I would love to have visited, but these will both be ruined by the weather.
The last time Taj came out was in February and I am afraid there has been little progress made this time. I have been so busy and I feel so tired that when I have sat down to stitch I could just feel my eyes closing. Still a little progress is better than none. And hopefully next time more will get done.The Rocket - well the less said the better, in my opinion an utter disaster, it was such an arkward shape to cover and I think with being so tired my concentration was not what it should have been.
However that said the birthday boy was thrilled with it and as long as he is happy that I guess is all that matters at the end of the day. I have been very brave and added a picture but if you have to look please try looking at it through Oscars eyes lol then you will think its wonderful.

The cake looks delicious Helen, and I'm sure Oscar was thrilled to bits with it :)
The cake looks great Helen and so long as the birthday boy liked it that is all that matters! Hope he has a lovely day, shame about the weather but somehow they never seem to notice it. Enjoy your evening!
Helen ... the cake looks wonderful .. fondant is always hard work with but I think it turned out marvelous. Taj is looking good as well.
I think the cake looks wonderful, and I'm sure he was thrilled with it. He looks like he is having a grand time, so sorry the weather wasn't nicer for you all.
Taj is looking so pretty, I'm glad to see it again. ISD is looking lovely as well, and Gigi is gorgeous. Who is the designer on that one, I don't believe I've seen it before.

Happy B-day to oscar! And I think the cake looks awesome. You did a great job!
Happy Birthday wishes for Oscar. How I wish my children were still that young.
Love the colours in your stitching! It is gorgeous.
I think the cake looks incredible. One thing of many, I wish I was better at doing is cake baking AND decorating. I'm always in too much of a rush.
Happy Birthday to Oscar! Your cake looks fantastic Helen.
Hugs

Happy Birthday Oscar, hope the party went well
I think Oscar's cake looked wonderful. I remember many cakes made by my aunt as a child for me which looking back were in no way perfect but they were perfect in my eyes. He is a very lucky boy to have a Granny who will do them for him.
I love seeing Taj as well, I have this chart in my stash and it's just gorgeous, so can't wait to see more next round.
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to Oscar. Helen that cake looks great & I bet it tasted fab! :0)
Taj is looking good. Better slow progress & getting it perfect than rushing it & having a frog visit!
Happy Birthday to Oscar! And I think his rocket cake is over the moon! CUTE!!!
