On the wall


I have been a little behind on playing along with memes lately, I seem to start them but then get easily distracted and the excitement wears off


Perhaps I am afraid of commitment, pressure, deadlines.
I seem to do that alot in real life aswell.

This is the wall in our family room, it's still a work in progress.


It's filled with all the things I love, creations by my little ones. 
The first time they wrote their names, family portraits, birthday surprises and some pics of Amelie from a gorgeous mad stitches photo shoot by the awesomely magical Julieanne Perara.

What's on your wall, go on, we'd love to see.

Pop round to the ever so cool chic and check out more wall loving.

Are you a meme follower or do you crumble at the mention of them.

Happy Wednesday all ♥

    Gorgeous! We have a lot of the kids art around our place too. The colour really pops off the white walls and frames. Thanks for saying hi at my blog as well... and yes the rainbow cake was a success, phew!

    I do a meme, but I haven't been a part of someone else's for ages! I don't know why that is.

    Absolutely adore the embroidered drawings, Cathie. I am tempted to learn embroidery (and patience!) so I can have a go myself. x

    gorgeous cathie! I also embroider a lot of my littlies' first drawings etc. it's such a beautiful way to make a keepsake even more special. I have given quite a few to family as gifts, they just adore them. I love the family portrait in the middle x

    I love your happy wall. We have a wall, here in our home, where we've framed art work from all our nieces and nephews. It makes me happy every time I walk by it....even if I'm having a crud day. Hope all is well Cathie!

    Your wall tells bright, beautiful tales of (your gorgeous) family, Cathy. We have a b&w photo wall in our back room. I love it but I'd like to add some kids artwork and mix it up a bit xo

    p.s I really dig the bus.

    Love your wall. It’s so bright and beautiful and I can imagine that a gaze over those works of art would cheer up many a dull grey day.
    I have an empty shell of a house at the moment!! Barely have windows in! But once the builders have finished and we can at last move back home {to a slightly bigger house...yay!!} then I’m totally making a wall like yours, for sure! x

    love the wall.... it is beautiful. need to get into something like this, although, I am not allowed to put any pictures on the wall in my new home, so I might have to wait until the next move. Hope you are well lovely xx

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.

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.
