Decoupage

 This little owl and mushroom orniment were found at my local charity shop so charlotte and i decided we fancied decoupaging them so this is the top of the owls head ( i left charlotte do most of it and it ended up a bit of a mess so we are going to re-d her)

and here it is finished

Charlottes bedroom post

This is our idea post for Charlottes shabby chic bedroom. there are some more floral squares to be added and re-arranged on this design

The wallpaper is either side of the fabric in the center

easter SIL bunting

My sister in law is 7 so for easter instead of an egg i try to make her something, This year (as they moved to a new house she has quite a cute fresh contemp/shabby chic bedroom) I thought i would make her some lovely bunting to either hang on her wall or her gorgeous double bed.

Excuse my hubbys feet lol and how creased the bunting is as the girls were using it for their magic show with the bunting up the arms of their jumpers.

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.

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!
