DIY Cake Stands

I have recently come across the phenomenon of making your own cake stands. It is such a cool, cute, useful idea! You basically choose your own plate for the cake holding part and this can be any shape, any size and any pattern and then find a stand. Lots of people use candle stick holders, some use glasses and I even saw a fancy table/stool leg being used. Once you have them both you can spray or paint them a different colour and super glue the two together. Done! 

There are loads of examples on pinterest just search for 'DIY cake stands'. Below are some of my favourites.

Colds are not Cool!

So I woke up on Monday with a nasty cold! Apparently it has been going round the office and has now graced me with it's presence... thanks, thanks a lot. So today I wrapped up (also got told by one lady at my work that I look like I'm about to go skiing, that's a good thing through right?!) 

Also got out the hot water bottle I was given for Christmas to keep me toasty and cold fighting fit! The case was dyed and made by my mum, isn't it cool. 

How are you all doing anyone else in my stereotypical common cold boat?
