Monday at our place

It's been a bit of a hectic weekend so I am glad that today has started off slowly.

We popped into a wonderful market yesterday, said a few hellos and came home to finish off these little figurine cake toppers for a little boys birthday.

Now the hard part is how do I pack them to post them off later today! Any ideas??
Hope your Monday is the start of a great week.

    Hi Cathie. I ordered some incredibly delicate cake toppers for Eloise's birthday and the lady packed them in a small but tough post box with lots of tissue paper and bubble wrap. They arrived in great condition. She said she made sure they were completely dry before she sent them so maybe that is the trick? Are the little figures small enough to go inside a kitchen roll tube? Or how about an egg carton? Hope they get there okay!

    OH Cathie- they are totally ADORABLE!! I love them, I think they are the best cake toppers I have ever seen.
    I would go a box, with either bubble wrap or butterick, mccalls etc patterns from the oppy.

    They are beyond sweet! I would varnish those little dudes and keep them forever.

    Wrap them in bubble wrap if you have some to hand and pack them in an oversize box with lots and lots of scrunched up paper supporting. x

    Cake toppers? Wow, you talented sweetest soul you, those are too cute. Did you find a good way to package those sweet petits? A cupboard box with bunches of bubbles plastic in between, maybe?
    You have a beautiful Spring week, sweetie xoxoxoxo

    Cathie, these are amazing!
    I know you have posted them already but for next time, I receive parcels that have air filled sections instead of bubblewrap - a bit like little balloons. They seem to cushion the items instead of squashing them.

    They are really cute!Are they edible?Packing....hmmm when I pack a hat or a fascinator I use the post office boxes and fill them up with eather newspaper or whatever I can find light enough that would avoid movement in the box.
    Not sure if it is what you wanted?Good luck lovely!

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!

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...

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. 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...
