Portal tissues, minion and hamster keyrings and some whimsical frippery of the most fripperous order

I will hold my hands up to being a bit slap dash when it comes to sewing, edges meet up 'close enough' and the concerpt of seam allowance is alien to me. But to make sure I got this totally square and neat I measured everything and even used large numbers of pins. Little bit proud.

A cute little hamster. Just because

This little fella didn't work out right. I need to make the yellow part larger. I don't have much yellow fleece left (but plenty for this) so I was scrimping - talk about your false economies!

Sometimes, I just like to make fig leaves. Actually, this was a request, and there was sort-of logic behind it. I've spent a lot of time trying to work out which angle the fig should be at after someone said it should be stalk pointing upwards (no giggling at the back) but there appears to be no strong leaning towards that in art.

Dang I should dust my mirror.

Portal cakes

Portal cakes have been done ad nauseum, so apologies for adding. But Neil asked for some for his birthday and I am nothing if not obliging. Also, people usually only do the gateau 'cake is a lie' cake*, whereas I did all three, if that makes it any better?

*if you don't know what this means, don't worry, me neither really.

All of the cakes..

This here's the little portal man, doing his thing through lemon cake with lemon curd filling and cream cheese icing atop.

The cake is a lie meme is probably responsible for more black forest gateau eatage than the whole of the 70s. This one is made from cherry brandy, as there is apparently a city-wide shortage of kirsch.

Mistakes were made, lessons were learned. The companion cubes turned out all wrong,  the icing was a mess.  I feel shame that people will be seeing these. Still they probably still taste fine - red velvet with a cocoa buttercream covering and marshmallow fondant (again).
