baking and making with my family of 9
I love having some cake or something yummy in the kitchen when I’m having a quiet day at home. And if it involves chocolate then it’s even better.

Today I woke to the sad news that the blogger, crafter and founder of Whip Up and huge inspiration in the craft community had passed away. And so tragically.
