My Creative Space...

You can never have too much bunting around the house can you?
These vintage hankies were in the letterbox when I got home, so I knew that they were destined for a new life.

And how could I possibly NOT try this recipe, and as my 4 year old would say "easy peasey lemon squeezey" and it really is.


Off to bake some cakes, have a wonderfully creative day sweet friends

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.

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.
