There were more than enough cupcakes and
dotty-cookies for everyone . . .

Lots of fun!

  4. I think we might have started something here. I can see Cupcake and Crochet parties springing up all over the country! It was lots of fun Celia and lovely to see you. Thanks again for those eggs... almost too beautiful to use. But on the other hand, too good not to!

  5. FAB idea - as you say, Gina, you may have started a nationwide craze ... although there'll be a lot of people shiftily knitting in the corner, because they can't crochet (and I'm one)
