My Creative Space...

It is soo very hot and humid here, I am having difficulty breathing let alone baking, so I have taken a break and stepped away from the kitchen and decided to try to make something I can wear...when baking ;)

For some real creativity pop on over here.

    Is that a fabric cutting deal'e, or are you using your pizza wheel for crafting...?!

    Hehe... I don't even have one of those! (She says as though she crafts so much more than she talks or thinks about it...)

    That fabric looks just perfect for you!
    It is hot isn't it - I was hoping the rain would bring more 'cool' than it has - it's still pretty sticky.

    I can only imagine that an apron would make you even hotter and more uncomfortable.........unless you're thinking of wearing it with nothing at all underneath it Cathie! lolol. Oh my! Now there's a very cool idea dontcha think? :)

    Stay calm and breathe easy - if I can crack an apron (I presume you're not doing a three piece suit along a cookery theme?) then anyone can.

Honey Jumbles

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.

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.
