Hello!

Doesn't a week roll around fast?

Last week was spent mostly on getting things done around the house and garden. 

Make it:
*Mostly cards this week for the Happy Mail project.
*I've been busy making samples and kits for my Card Buffet at the end of the month, it is filling fast, and that's so exciting. 

​Bake it:
*Brownies have been the treat of choice the last few weeks. With the price of choc bits and cocoa, they'll be staying a treat. You can get my super delicious brownie recipe here.
*I made tortillas for lunches.
*Potatoes were down to 60c/kilo so a five kilo bag was mashed and frozen for winter meals.

Grow it:
*Weeds were pulled and the beds put to rest until after we come back from our trip. No point in planting anything at the moment as we won't be here to use whatever it is. My plan is to plant some things just before we leave and they should be ready when we get home, or at least close to being ready.
*Picked silverbeet, rhubarb, mint and rosemary.

Join me to celebrate the launch of the new Annual Catalogue and have some fun at my card buffet trying new products.

There's no obligation to spend anything more at all, just drop in and have fun creating.

Not a lot of making last week, it was busy, busy, busy with lots of appointments.
Lots of baking done though (it's rather therapeutic) and some crafting. 

Made up the kits for a shoebox swap for a retreat I attended over the weekend.

Made pillow boxes for pillow treats for the retreat. 

​Made double batch of scones and  Cranberry Hootycreeks, and a quadruple batch of Brownies,  some for home and some to take to the retreat.

Cooked a bulk batch of mashed potatoes for the freezer.

Made focaccia.

Made two loaves of bread.

Made a batch of pizza dough for the freezer.

Good morning!

It's Make it Monday on Tuesday! Easter mucked up my days, I completely forgot that yesterday was Monday, having everyone home for four days threw me out.

Last week was busy; aren't all weeks busy? But it was a good week. I spent a lot of time waiting, so I read, and worked on some new crochet patterns for different types of scrubbies. Hannah will be testing them too, to see which scrubbie is the most efficient and comfortable to use. 

​
I made some little baskets for our Easter table.

Instead of eggs this year, I bought blocks of chocolate and put them in these cute little hessian bags I monogrammed with iron-on vinyl.

​I made hot cross buns and cooked most of our meals from scratch. As a treat, No. 1 Son bought tea one night and it was delicious - burritos and nachos that I diligently noted the ingredients and flavours so I can MOO them in the future.
