This week...


is the last week before school holidays so I am making some chicken egg cozies for a few of Amelie's school friends


this week there's an Easter bonnet parade at Amelie's school and we have to decorate her hat, she wants to win...(I'm nervous)


and this week the girls need some more food as the bag "accidentally" spilt in the garage  (hmmm...thank you Aidan)

What are you up to this week, want to play along?

    How CUTE!!!! Good luck on the bonnet parade!

    This week we have 'time day' day on Friday and I need to come up with three costumes for the Frills, we have appointments coming out of our ears too and I've got lots of writing to do. I'll be glad when the week is OVER. Bring on the holidays I say xxx

    The egg cosy's are just gorgeous! I am going to see if Master N is interested in any of the Easter Crafts I have planned this week. I am not getting my hopes up!

    Have a great week Cathie!

    Oh wow, Cathie, I love your chooks!!! because of all the wet weather we've been having up here, one of our two girls passed away, and then a week later, our other one died of a broken heart. She had pined herself away. Bit of a shock though, as she was so healthy and happy before her friend died. So we are in the market for a couple of chickens. I'd love one like yours, the one on the right! Do you know what breed she is?
    Decorate the bonnet in flowers with blue birds and a nest with eggs!

    A quiet week this week. Husband is away for work and I am trying to pack in as much work as possible before the offspring are home with me for the holidays. Love the hen pics!

    oh that's such a fun school thing- I wish my kids school had an easter bonnet parade (I mightn't wish that if it actually did). Mum and Dad had to take the trailer in one year for one of my 'creations'- it was a trillion flat square polystyrene blocks stacked on top of each other with a bit of spray paint and a lot of crepe paper. I don't remember if I won or not, but I am sure I wanted to as well!

    All the best with the easter hat parade - that certainly is putting the pressure on to want to win! I'm sure you'll do a very nice job though. Maybe see you tomorrow. Lou.

    Lovely hat and cozies. I hope she'd win, I trust in your talent, did I put another pressure? Just have fun doing it, I know you would. Please post the photo of your master piece, I'm so thrilled about this one. Good luck to both of you.

Honey Jumbles

Image
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.
