My Creative Space...

Things have been a little quiet on the m.e front lately, no time for fun baking because alot of this has been going on at the house..

Today though alot of baking is happening for some cake orders
and of course someone has to do the washing up...

Sorry, I may not be able to draw a winner for the giveaway today, if you haven't entered you still have a chance, I promise it'll happen in the next few days, things are just a little bit out of sync here in the m.e household.

Let's hope not many others are out of sync this week.

hugs

    I hope things calm down soon. Are there some tradies there? Maybe they could be persuaded with some yummies to do the dishes. X

    How come there isn't a 'dish fairy' that comes around at night to do the dishes after we bake?? sigh....

    Good luck with whatever projects you got going on. (Liking that green on your window trim ~ pretty!)

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.

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.
