Scrummy

Well, I just had to have a go at making Laura's cookies - the looked so scrummy. Oh and they are. So much so that there will be no picture to show you my efforts. Hubby came home for lunch and took some back to the office. The others are ready for me to take to my friends this afternoon who has just had baby number two and if I don't leave them in the box.....well they may just get munched:). My mix ended up a bit wet, but a few more oats and we were fine - some mix never even made it into the oven LOL. Lets just say my son enjoyed licking the mixing spoon. I made the second oven batch a lot smaller, they are now just right for my son (and me I won't feel so guilty when I eat two!)

So, instead of a biccie pic, you will have to make do with this:

Ebb and Flow

Lampwork by Rachel Dawes at Earth and Fire Beads. With lovely faceted aventurine rondelles and Hilltribe silver. Hopefully I will get some time later this week to do some more and show you some more. Off to look and not touch the biccies till I am at my friends, they will be even better with a good cuppa.

Some truth in it?

Maybe there is some truth in the old proverbs....it blew a hoolie all night and it's still really windy today. Today looks like it's going to be a damp kinda day with the clouds scudding across the sky - oh to be able to climb back under the duvet with a nice cuppa - I can dream LOL. At least I can do the cuppa bit - off to boil the kettle.......

Red sky in the morning......

Shepherd's warning...well we must be in for some pretty awful weather if this mornings sunrise is anything to go by. The photo was taken at about eight in the morning, the colours were even more intense before that but I was making my boys brekkie in bed. It's become a bit of a weekend institution! Check out the frost on the road as well - it looks like it had snowed over night, but just on the tarmac.

Today we made fairy cakes, my son is enthralled by the idea of baking, so he and I made the cakes and then he decorated them with daddy.

Remind me next time to sweep and mop the floor after making cakes which are going to be decorated with sprinkles not before and not to leave a bowl of sprinkles easily to hand. Obviously I was wrong to assume my BH would not allow our little man open access to the sprinkles. I know I am a bit of a control freak at times, but I would of only let him at them when each cake was iced and ready to decorate - not whilst I was sorting the icing and had my back turned away. Like pine needles from the Christmas tree I think I will be finding coloured sprinkles for weeks, maybe months, to come :)

We did make a dozen, but one didn't make it to the icing production line......cakes are always best fresh.
