Lately...



Lately I have had a slight obsession with bunting and dreaming about different ways to use it, then I stumbled upon paper garlands and now I think I may have a new one.

I read this and laughed because I was in the process of getting my new obsession started.

I think most of us have a certain something we become obsessed with, what's your thing?

Happy Friday friends

    At the moment, lino cut printing. Haven't done it since HSC Art (many, many, many years ago haha) but I really love it! I paint and draw so its something dear to my heart. I have been carving out designs and I plan to print some in the next few weeks when time permits. I'm excited! Will post the results on my blog too so watch out for it!

    I made one of these last winter from various recycled papers (sorry it seems I'm not allowed to paste the link in this post) & old music sheets... they're so fun to make and yours is particularly pretty with very well-chosen colors !

    What a cute project ~ very crafty!

    Sometimes I get into a really good book and become obsessed with reading it until the end. Oh my poor boys have had to eat many a burnt supper... :)

    Have a Happy weekend Cathie!

    Well I completely understand the bunting obsession!
    Mmmmm..lately though it would have to be making scented linen fresheners for gifts...I get to used up snippets of fabric, and they smell divine!

    Hello Cathie!
    Can't wait to catch up on all the good stuff you have going on here! I adore those circle buntings, I have them stretched all across my yard, I found them on free Pretty Things For You, and Libbie and I made some up for Annie's birthday. Then I had another party, up they go in my front yard, and I am hosting a wedding reception, so I am in the process of making more, I can't seem to get enough of that bunting!

    Love how yours turned out with the different patterns and colors. You are the BEST!!!
    Kate

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...

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...
