Fun Friday…

We had a blast yesterday. I got the blocks joined for D9P, and the border chosen. And much to the toddlers delight, we baked biscuits. Teddy bear and star and duck and people biscuits. I didn’t do such a great job of ignoring hte housework, but I suppose that’s a plus. Though I still have a massive pile of dirty […]

Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog, and for leaving comments – it means a lot to me! Wishing you all a wonderful, happy, healthy, properous & creative 2009!   (And just because I can’t finish a post without a photo, here’s a pic of some bikkies I made the other day – unfortunately, we seem […]

Eeek! 10 days until Christmas!

And someone who shall remain nameless is a tad unorganised! So please forgive my lack of blogging this past week (’cause I know you all have nothing more to do than hang breathlessly of my every post, right? Huh? what? You have a life? Oh. How embarrassing…), but I’ve been a tad busy. I was working, I was Christmas-partying my […]

Santa’s Army

How else is the big man going to get the whole world done? He has an army of clones, of course! And one Santa had a bit of an issue as I was icing his eyes, which I thought made hom look a bit evil, so I just gave him a goatee instead of a full Santa beard – he’s […]

Monday Munchies

What better to do with a small boy on a rainy day but some baking! I had a stack of very ripe bananas, and was planning on cooking up a big batch of muffins, but then I found this super easy recipe over on Bluebird’s blog: 2 pieces of fruit 2 cups of wholemeal flour 2 teaspoons of baking powder […]

Mummy Monday

What better way to front up to a new week than to hit the ground running? The housework was done early, stories had been read, hokey-pokey’s danced, and it was time to get busy! First up was some craft time. What else does one make with a train crazy toddler, but a train!   This little train was made from a […]

Sick Bubba…

Poor Little Bear has been sick the last few days, so no sewing or scrapping to be shown at the minute. I did, however, get a chance to do some baking today. Very simple, but oh so yummy! I love these bikkies, they are made from my great-grandmother’s recipe, and remind me of a time when I wasn’t so grown-up, […]

Mmmm…muffins

I had a few very ripe bananas in my fridge, so decided to whip up a batch of muffins. Super easy to make, and I didn’t have to chuck the bananas (well, except for half of one that was way too far gone!) Also on the to-bake list is some biscuits if I get a chance, but for now, curtain […]
