What I did today: Cocktail Party

My new stair carpet was finally fitted today. I am still at work so can’t wait to see it when I get home. The dining room is all done now and looks lovely. I am having a cocktail party this weekend to celebrate. the plan is to serve Mojitos and Margaritas.

I bought a book on making homemade sweets from a company called The Book People. I do like baking and making sweets but sometimes the list of ingredients is so complicated it puts me off. Some of the recipes in the book are very retro; coconut ice, peanut brittle, pear drops and seafoam candy. I don’t know which to try first!!
