First things first

Mama and Papa got married 27 years ago on the 3rd of Oct :)

Happy Anniversary Lovebirds xx 

 

 

 

 

On Monday I had a day off work, and, of course it was pretty cold and tipping down with rain!

There was only me in the house so I didn't bother with the heating. Instead I lit a fire and sat and read my book and drank tea- it was truly blissful! 

 

 

I took a few minutes out of being lost in my book, to try out something I found online...

 

Arm knitting! (The general gist of this is that your arms are the knitting needles)

 

So I arm knitted myself a beautiful cobalt blue scarf. It took me round about 20 minutes and I just love the results :) Here's a photo...

 

 

For anyone out there who wants to try something new, here's the link to give arm knitting a go:

Enjoy!

and show me your creations

 

 

You stay classy Planet Earth!

 

 

So... It's been a while!

As well as 'showers', April brings three family birthdays.

This year's birthday creations were based around the fact that I bought a tub of Popping Candy and I wanted to use it.

 

So the first offering was Popping Candy Jazzies:

 

These were pretty tasty... :P

 

Next on the agenda were Exploding Birds Nests:

 

 

Ok, I may have got carried away with the wrapping :)

I made them by melting a bar of chocolate in a 'bain-marie', then stirring in Branflakes. After I had popped them into muffin cases, I sprinkled them with popping candy and hundreds and thousands. Oh yummy!
