New Things to Do

Today is going to be a rather busy day. Over the past week I have made chocolates of various flavours and then tried them out on different people and they have been given the thumbs up :-) I came up with the idea that I could make something that people could buy from me and enjoy straight away when I am at different markets and shows. The money I then make from these chocolates can then also help raise funds for my Cheeky Boys expenses.

 

Take a look at some of the Dinosaur chocolates I made the other day:

 

Anyone for a chocolate or two?!?

 



I made these ones in Milk and Dark chocolate with some having coconut and others with peanuts. I am going to try making some with peppermint and orange flavours. By tonight I may also have a few other flavours :-) I will see what inspires me when I go shopping. I have moulds that are fairies, robots, teddy bears, lions and fancy round ones. I will be also making these chocs as lolly pops so kids can enjoy them in a fun way :-)

 

This week has also has my RozArt stall going to the Rose Cottage Markets on Saturday at Rose Cottage Canberra. This is a market that runs the third Saturday of every month so I thought I shall give it go. I am particularly keen on finding out how my chocolates will go.

 

As for the Cheeky Boy, he has started doing 3 months of swimming lessons with a grant from the Friends of Brain Injured Children. This is great as he has previously done some group lessons and he learnt so much but with our finances being strapped we haven't been able to get him involved again. We stopped last year when the weather became cold as he was prone to chest infections.

 

He is doing these at Kings Swim School and the staff have been very accommodating to his needs and have provided him with great instructors who can take him one-on-one due to his epilepsy. He loves water and loves to splash in it! The toilet bowl isn't safe if an unsuspecting visitor leaves our toilet door open, the Cheeky Boy seems to always find his way to the splash zone!!

 

To finish off my night tonight, I will also be making two dinosaur cakes for the National Dinosaur Museum's 20th Birthday celebrations this weekend. I will give you a look at the end results next week :-)

 

I hope everyone has a nice weekend and a fine week ahead :-)
