mothers day gifts

Trying to be a little thrifty this year made me think of what gifts my mum might fancy.. so here goes :)

homemade dark chocolate brazil nuts in a handmade parcel

home made choux pastry chocolate and coffee buns with the handmade box behind it.

this is a hand made quilted bread basket :) it turned out a little shorter than i would want but it will still work :)

upcycled mirror

i found this stunning mirror at the charity shop and have decided to paint it deep purple to go with the living room

goookies according to eddie

my son has become obsessed with cookies. so we made some white chocolate and raspberry cookies today

 

Recipe

1/2 cup of caster sugar

1/4 cup of brown sugar

1 egg

2 1/2 cups of flour

a drop of milk (or untill it binds better)

white chocolate chunks

half a punnet of raspberrys

mix together in a large bowl, 

spoon a mound onto a greased baking tray

bake for 20-30 mins (untill browned but not hard they must still be squidgy in the middle)

cool and serve!

we usually make a tray full which is usually about 20 cookies and have a sandwich bag of cookie dough left in the fridge to make another 12-15 

happy munching!

moving

Well, we moved almost 2 weeks ago and i love our new house!

Im sure you will see my progress in the up-do of the place and upcycle of furniture that i have plans for so here goes :)
