spring clean!!!


i got up this morning to find clear sky's and lovely sunshine,a little fresh on the walk to school but a lovely day none the less.
so today was the day,i am going to sort out the workshop have a little spring clean maybe sort out some moulds and get rid of the ones no longer in use.
only it didn't go as planned i ended up finding a fab large muffin mould that hadn't had its debut yet and to top it of i also found a large cupcake mould hidden since last summer.
so moulds covering one work surface i moved over to the other one put some wax on to melt and did a test pour in new found moulds and finished a small order.
the end result was i found i didn't want to part with any of my much loved moulds telling myself that i may need that particular design one day,so instead i cleaned them and put them all away again lol! will post some pics of new muffins & cupcakes when I've finished test burning.
