Towers & Morning Melodies

I've made a bit of progress over the weekend with the 'foam project'. Here's a fabulous foam tower that took some deft scissor skills to fashion ten ovals out of 38mm thick, high density foam.

An electric breadknife may have been useful here but we don't have one of the those which meant that after cutting about seven pieces (and still three to go) I realised I had blisters on my knuckles.

Then, after quite a few step-by-step stages, I had a fabric and foam tower.

Almost there now ...

 

Hayley (my daughter) was busy baking and decorating some lovely cupcakes this afternoon. I thought they looked so cute that I'd share the photo I took .... yummmm

Unfortunately no tasting of them though because she's made them for the Level 8 (final year) students at the Australian Ballet School to wish them well for their first performance of their final year in the upcoming Morning Melodies programme at the State Theatre this Tuesday and The Clocktower Centre at Moonee Ponds next Tuesday.

Hayley is currently in Level 7 and also dancing in this performance which I'm really looking forward to watching :-)
