My Creative Space...


Just a bit wet at the moment after our walk this morning in the rain.

I have been playing around with these and the kids love them. 
It's nothing you haven't seen around before, but it's something that encourages their imagination and calm role play which is definitely a good thing.

Hope you are having a wonderfully creative day, there's definitely a whole lot over here.

    mmm, calm is good... much better than "no, mum, you've finished resting, I kissed you so now you're all better and ready to play" (but to be honest, that's kind of nice too). Thanks for another beautiful post!

    Your skirts are the cutest. Haven't met this kind of lovely pins before on the net, Cathie. It's so true about the calm role play, love your view on raising.
    So far on your lovely post. Today Mr. Postman arrived at my doorstep. Sweet, sweet Cathie, thank you so so much for the beautiful treasures. You are very talented, loved all of it. The cards and that gorgeous pin... really made me smile ear-to-ear. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. Keep your eye on your mailbox, a small envelope will travel the world to your lovely little corner of the world, next weekend. xx and some more xx

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...

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

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.
