Christmas gifts

Sorry I have not been blogging, life seems to be either so mundan that I find I just plod along but am always busy anyway.

Have been getting back into my sewing and made a few pieces as gift for Christmas this year:
For my niece, I hope she like's them and as she is 17, I'll throw some money in a card for her too as I'm sure this gift is totally un-hip! But I have no girls to sew for, only boys or myself and poor mum can't get lumped with everything!

Scorched Peanut Bar

I was after a treat, an old treat from my youth, something sweet and crunchy. I looked in the shops for far to long only to discover that they no longer make the product that I am after - the very Australian Scorched Peanut bar. So what to do - make your own!

LOl, check out this very manly ad for it, now why in the would would they stop making such a great product?

Yee Ha!

Lately I have really enjoying a bit of country music, who would of thought eh? My mum is part of a little line dancing group and when she was recently here she asked me to download her some Country music that she and the girls could to dance too and well, I'm hooked.

I like the fact that I can understand the words, as in the words are words not garble and the songs seem to genuinely mean something and there real musical instruments in them!!

This one is a favorite:

And Taylor Swift is really sweet.

I think I'll be buying me a pair of cowboy boots this year!

Healthy snack

This afternoon Littleman had a school assembley and after they asked parents to bring a small "healthy" snack to be shared with kids and other parents. I told my son to scan my recipe books and see what healthy snack he wanted me to bring, he chose this:


It's healthy because it has fruit on it!

Dilemma averted - just do it all

I baked:

And then I made a bag to carry around my cake containers. I've been meaning to make one for a long time as every other bag I have, even those large green grocery bags they don't fit it them. I'm very happy with the result. No special pattern, just winged it:

Then I baked some more of the little Lemon Coconut Bundt's that were such a hit a few weeks ago and tested the bag:

And tonight I shall continue crocheting my beret!

My loves

I note that "My Loves" blinkie is rather dated and poor Millie (the cat) has since passed on. Will muster energy and sort that out.
