BAD HABIT.

I am a smokey Joe. Well here and there but still... its shit and my lungs will collapse and I will die.

Also I am rubbish at moisturising. I go through phases where I do it all the time and I am all peachy... then I forget or something and I am as dry as a bone.

Nice.

Day 3 ... late...

Evening Readers,
So its the day where I show a photo of me and my friends... Well it is so hard to choose just one especially as I have so many good friends all of which come and go in different groups and stuff so I saw other people putting a few pics up and I felt like that gave me a green light to do the same!

I hope you likey like... It was really lovely to look through a load of old pics... good for the soul.

I look different in all the pictures hahah. Youll never guess who I am haaa xxx

Sorry!! Its been a busy weekend! Will update y'all later xx

Day 2...

Good morning loyal blog followers of joy...

Day 2... The meaning behind my blog name.

I would like to take this time to describe and discuss what my blog name really means because I wouldnt want you to be left in the dark...

My blog name means I am Bitsy and I make cupcakes. I display them, in picture form, here. Hence... Bitsy's Cupcakery.

Does that come across as sarcastic?

I am in one of those moods.

If you are doing this 30 days things comment and let me know so I can follow and learn all about y'all. xxx

ps. Cupcake pictures to come soon. Sorry its been ages. I am slack... I am sure if you carry on following this 30 days thing at some point it will all come out in a giant flood of sadness and rage and you will understand why I have been so lame.

x

Day 1...

just.me.

Ok... 15 interesting facts...

1. I am so embarrassed to have uploaded that photo... I am terribly self conscious and hate my teeth.

2. I used to own a horse. (oh these arent interesting at all are they)

3. My dad was a roadie with bands... He was offered a 12 month tour with AC/DC but my mom said if he went he may as well not come back... (thats not even about me...)

4. I would give anything to be able to speak french fluently... any language... the fact that it takes time is not good enough for me.

5. I used to sing and play bass in a band.

6. I have a secret love for "urban" music.

7. I cannot for the life of me walk in heels yet I have about 50 pairs. I sometimes buy them because they are pretty and would look good on display...shhhhh!

8. I am a pretty independent person but when I am hungover I get all cuddly and like to be with someone I can cosy up with.

9. Im a winter baby and love nothing more than snow, frosts, open fires, christmas that kind of thing.

10. I love movies I have about 600 DVDs but I rarely watch one all the way through if I am by myself. Mostly I nod off.

12. I can whip up pretty nifty fancy dress costumes... of late I have been... A lion, Cheetara from Thundercats, The black Smoke from Lost and Chun-Li from Streetfighter.

13. My hair is naturally GINGER. Pretty curly. And massive. You should see the Lion dress up pictures. I backcombed it into an afro to make a mane.

14. I love Andrew McCarthy (of St Elmos Fire/Pretty in Pink fame) and would have married him had he of not aged.

15. I fed a hedgehog cheese once.

Well there you go... enlightened? Didnt think so...

I did a thing like this on Facebook once... I think it was slightly more interesting... I gave it a bit more thought... Maybe I should have pasted it in... Oh well.

Thanks for your ears. x

90th Birthday Cupcakes

Remember Anna & Dave who I did my first wedding cupcakes for???

Well they LOVE the cakes! And so do their families!!

So when it was Anna's grandma's 90th birthday Anna asked me for some gorgeous fresh lemon cupcakes with pretty silver and white decoration...

Ta Daaaa!

Wanna see some cupcakes??!?

Bitsy's Cupcakery has been busy like a bumble bee. Here's to keeping busy to try not to think about people being asssssshoooolllleeesss.

Is it artists that make better art through being tortured souls? Maybe thats me. HA.

But I think I did a good job.

Another random order from Facebook. Sweeet.

Be my friend!! www.facebook.com/bitsys.cupcakery

Chun-Li plus a Lemming take on the town...

This Weekend...

Was lovely...

From Thursday onwards...

Thursday I had half day so went to meet the boy for lunch. Nandos... And this time I had quarter chicken with mashed potato and macho peas (which, for those that don't know, are peas mixed with some mashed up peas with like chili and stuff all up in there... they do have quite a kick... but are LUSH)

Then we went shopping for birthday fancy dress outfits and birthday prezzies as it was Picto and Darrans birthday. I got tired of shopping before he did and begged to go to the pub... I think he was secretly uber glad...

Went to the pub, met Picto and John had some laughs and then walked back to the boys house where he tried on his outfit... Fancy dress for Pictos birthday was computer game characters... he was Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island and he looked HOT. I don't know what it was about that costume... but I was smitten hahah.

Then randomly went to Nottingham where the boys all played football.

Friday Darrans birthday. Was cool because we all went to his and his Xbox is now fixed! YAY!! So we played rockband and some tony hawks skate game where you actually stand on a skateboard... I felt like a dick because I have no balance but I did better than a dead cow. Which is something to be proud of surely? But then again, I have never seen a dead cow play tony hawks skate game haha.

Gave him a tonne of boardgames for his birthday. All from charity shops like but awesome. The boy also got him the neighbours boardgame which we found. Darran had apparently played this before when he was a kid and was already a fan so that was good.

Then Saturday came and I was hungover and still had to make a costume to make me look like a convincing Chun-Li from Streetfighter. I was in no way in the mood. I went to the boys house to get ready in the afternoon and just sat down and cried, partly because I was hungover and pathetic partly because in my rush to bring all my things over I forgot the essential safety pins I was gonna pin my costume together with because I couldn't be arsed to sew it.

The boy was mostly awesome and amazing and gave me lots of cuddles. Disappeared and brought me up diet coke and chocolate biscuits and I thought nothing could get better... Then he put his costume on and that was that.

The evening was fun. Apparently people knew who I was. Some lad came over to me in Mosh and said...
Him: Are you dressed as Chun-Li?
Me: Yes
Him: Let me see your thighs.
Me: *shocked face*

This boy looked about 15. I am 27. Really. Hahaha. Secretly thought it was a bit cool. hahah.

Lar dressed as a lemming. She looked so cool with green hair it was so funny.


Then went home, put candles on and cuddled the boy loads... candles and drunk people shouldn't be allowed haha.

Sunday was lazy. I felt like shit and just chilled on the boys sofa til late.

But then I went home.

I said to Lar... I felt like I had been on holiday, it was that nice a weekend with the boy, and that I dreaded Monday because everything would go back to normal. I wouldn't see him. He wouldn't text. And if he did he would be cold and mean. I hoped hoped hoped that wouldn't happen. In the bottom of my heart I always have hope that he will continue to be the awesome person I know he is... but he didn't.

cupcakes what what...

Another birthday another cupcake order...

This time for my mums friends daughter Sam.

Vanilla cupcakes with nutella squashed in the middle...

With creamy pink vanilla buttercream and pretty decoration.

Like sugar paste roses...sugar paste hearts... cute heart sprinkles and lots of glitter.

Lar's Birthday

It was Lar's birthday on Friday and we took on the town. As you do.

But Also...

I made her some beautiful cupcakes in the style of the wizard of oz... because thats what she likes and I am nice like that.

She was amazed because I had made out that I was a shitty friend and that i had not made her anything or brought her anything and generally was a shit but then we took her to dinner and the waitress brought these out and all was redeemed and everyone in the restaurant sang happy birthday and cheered and it was sweeeeeet.

So yeah. We ate good food. We drank good wine. We had good cupcakes. We applied good bronzer. (thank you Laura Mercier ,you god you) and we danced good and hard.

Thanks for having us Leicester.

uh.

Depressed.

But I suppose if anything makes me feel not like throwing myself off a cliff its this...

but.

He does look sad like me.

A glorious weekend for cupcakes!

I have been keeping myself busy with cupcakes this weekend. I baked Friday and it was pretty cool doing so, because I bake in the Soundhouse kitchen now, so I get to watch bands while cakes are cooking/cooling etc!

So what have I done....

These cakes were left over from orders that I made so I put them in a pretty glass cake stand and sell them in the Soundhouse. Go there and buy them! Guinness choc cake this week with vanilla butter icing... These ones just looked pretty with various sprinkles and sparkles.

It was Lars moms birthday so Lar put an order in for 6 for the lovely Jane. Jane likes a good cup of tea and a smoke... So we decided to make little ciggies and a tea pot with the words mum. I think they look lovely. With nice purple cupcake cases and lilac and purple glitter... Apparently, she loved them!

See this guy right... That's John. (with me sneaking in the back...) Hes my pal and I love him so being as his birthday was Saturday I thought I would make him some lovely cakes... I wasn't sure what to do on them though and then I thought... I know... I will get creepy on his ass and try and create his head out of icing... a bit like in the "hello" video by Lionel Richie but not as detailed... hahah.

So yeah... look at his face here... and then look at the cupcakes and then compare....

FACE.

My bro was working the bar when I was creating this and he came into the kitchen and i said... Yo. Do you think this looks like John....? He said .... Hmmmm his hair needs to be higher.

HAHAHAHAAHAH!

Its true. But I worked it... I think I did ok. I hope I creeped him out a bit.

How's Everybodies Week Going So Far....

Its thursday which basically means its the weekend because Friday's dont count... even though they are my busy day... but still.

I am so bored. Literally so bored I could die. And I am totally on edge because I have to have a talk with the boy tonight. So whatever I do have to do, work-wise, I dont want to do because its boring today and not keeping my mind busy.

Uh I hate feeling like this. But things like this have been going on for ages and I suppose it cant go on forever. Its either gonna hurt like hell now or hurt like hell in the future. So maybe... like a plaster I should rip it off now?

Hmmmm.

I dont want to. I wish he'd just accept me for who I am and love me loads and be happy and laugh with me. Not be afraid of what other people will think or how things will end up.

It makes me a wee bit paranoid. I fear hes embarrassed. He says hes not but when he freaks out about everything I dont see what else it can be.

Its making me feel like shit and become a paranoid mess, and I dont like it. So I guess I am trying to save myself?

Thanks for taking the time to browse!!

So there you have it...

All the latest for you to see.

I'm sorry to do such a massive load of posts but I wanted to keep y'all up to speed.

I hope to hear great things from you lot! I miss you!!

I promise I will make more of an effort from now on!!
