What a beautiful day!

It was the most beautiful Melbourne day and it was the best market EVER!
The Northside Makers Market was buzzing from the moment we put the table down till the moment it was time to pack up and go home.
The girls did an un-be-lieavable amount of planning, organising and staged the most funnest market I have been to in a while.
Met some lovely people saw lots of blogland friends, had lovely surprise visits from family members and did not stop until I looked at the time and it was 2.45pm. wow....
and can you believe I did not take a single photo of my stall.
Was next to my lovely sis who was selling her gorgeous fabric covered button accessories,
...and the kids decided to do a bit of gardening for the church...oops, hope they didn't mind the garden reno.

Thank you girls and thank you to the lovely people that popped by to say hello and made me smile all day.

    I didn't get to come over, because I was behind my table most of the time. However my mother purchased two of your chocolate cup cakes with chocolate icing. OMG OMG I can honestly say they were one of the best chocolate cup cakes I have ever had. Next time I hope to visit and introduce myself.

    Question did I see you take a pic of my stall (windmills for kids). If so, please may I have a copy for my blog. Thank you.

    It's so great that it was the best market ever! I cannot believe you didn't take any photos of your stall though. I made about 6 batches of your vanilla cupcakes for Jazzy's party today and they were amazing!!! Bren has this thing about cupcakes. He thinks they are dry and boring but LOVED yours! He said they were the best cupcakes he's ever eaten. I'll put some pics up on my blog tomorrow. I added cocoa to some and pink colour to others and they were amazing. Thanks heaps once again for another great recipe. Love Kate XX

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke. I'll leave it open till midnight Saturday the 31st of October and also the end of Blogtoberfest and draw a winner from a hat or bowl or bag and announce it on Sunday...

Honey Jumbles

I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat. Simmer for a few minutes, then allow to cool for about 15 minutes Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices and add to butter mixture, gently stir in milk.  A...

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy. Here’s a basic recipe I made using a Cusinart ice cream maker Berrylicious ice cream Makes 1 litre Ingredients     ¾ cup whole milk   ½ cup sugar or honey if you prefer 1½ cups cream 150grams mixed berries, thawed and slightly mashed with a fork Method U sing a mixer or hand whisk, mix milk and sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved   Add cream and mix until combined Turn the machine on and pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let it mix until thickened, about 25 minut...
