Lasagna Cupcakes?


Soooo I saw this post on Pinterest and really wanted to try it. Thankfully I didn't have to wait long as we were invited to a 'Bring and Share'. For those of you who don't know what a Bring and Share is, it's amazing. You invite a hand full of people around to your house to eat, you ask each person to bring two dishes each. You place them on the table for everyone to see and then EAT!
Make sure to take along your extra tupperware so that you can all have a packed lunch full of leftovers!

Once the idea was in my head I didn't really follow a recipe. I noticed that the original posts used wonton wrappers because they are thinner and unlike pasta don't need pre-cooking. Because I'm allergic to wheat I found some rice paper (spring roll) wrappers and used those instead.

Valentine?


I seem to be keeping up a regular stream of things here, lets just hope that it lasts. The things here usually stem from what I make up during the week and then the finished items usually fit in with having time to post on a Sunday. I must say I'm quite liking it. I'm also usually wearing my latest creation when we go out at the weekend so I guess I'm also my own marketing department haha!


I've made myself a few pairs of these ear rings over time but always end up giving them away as they seem to be popular.

(glass hearts)

I thought as it's Valentines day in about three weeks I'd also make a matching necklace so if you want to buy the set for your loved one then you can.
Upon conversation with a friend on Friday night (as I was wearing the bird charm on a necklace) she stated that she had a favourite necklace that was just the right legnth and that she liked to just change the charms on them. So here you go, a set of two charms. Also good for a charm bracelet I guess :)

Town house cookie gift box


Oooh I love the fact that you can get so many gift box nets online these days. These ones would be great as a housewarming present? I give gifts for anything these days, any excuse to bake or cut and stick bits of card and paper. This particular 'how to' comes from makinggifts with a printable box net courtesy of Martha Stewart
Like I need an excuse to bake....

Christmas Gifts - The sweet things





So... chances are that if you know me and live close then you received one of these boxes for Christmas. (whether you wanted to or not)

Well here is how I made them....

The gift bags contained three small boxes, here I'll tell you how to make two of them.


Peppermint Creams & White Chocolate Fudge



First post

So here we are.
It's taken me a couple of months to think about starting a blog since spending all of my spare time crafting. It's been a week or so since baldmosher bought me the url and taken me all day to get this linked, designed and ready to go (a lot more simple than it sounds but I'm a complete technophobe).

I hope you all had a good Christmas and I promise to start writing tutorials and blogs as soon as possible. A new year's resolution? Well, I don't believe in them so no. I'm just going to try and keep on top of things.
