Six weeks after giving birth to the newest member of our family I am finally sitting down and FORCING myself to write a post. Do not for one moment think that I have been sitting on my ass – well, I’ve been doing quite a lot of that whilst feeding, but that doesn’t count. It feels like there [...]
This is a super easy and very VERY tasty recipe nabbed from a SARIE Kos magazine (a South African quarterly food magazine). One of my favourite treats is paging through one of these magazines to the point of drooling! If you are one of those people who always have a few tins of beans in [...]
Dawn, I didn’t take step-by-step photos of this one, so you’ll have to bear with me. I will try to explain how I made this to the best of my abilities. You are going to need fondant in yellow, white, greeny-turquoise and black (and a tiny dot of light brown). You will also need red [...]
Why Cauliflower and Broccoli? What would inspire you to write a pattern for this particular vegetable(s)? My husband and I love Cauliflower cheese and Christiaan makes one MEAN Broccoli Chicken dish. So I am a little nostalgic about them. We also have a friend who staunchly refuses to eat broccoli and maintains that he will [...]
I had fish pie once before I stumbled upon this recipe. We actually had it in a pub just after I arrived in England 6 years ago. It would have been a Wetherspoons. The day Christiaan bought me a £5 kettle from Argos and I almost fell over backwards because the kettle was so cheap. [...]
My photo’s keep piling up. I probably have enough material for 50 posts and I just keep taking more and more photo’s! So maybe it’s time I started catching up? One of the girls at work has recently had twins – a boy and a girl – through IVF. Everyone is (obviously) elated for her! I [...]
As always we are having a budget Christmas. To that end I have tried to make every £5 look like a tenner with a tan. I might be wrong, but I think that these little gift bags feel A LOT more opulent than they are worth. My mom always says it’s the idea that counts. How [...]
Yet another pattern from my procrastinating pen! I have been working on this one for close to three weeks. Gone are the days of conceiving and birthing a pattern in a matter of days or even hours. Instead I am finding myself increasingly lazy!! I did bake a cake and 120 cupcakes last weekend and [...]
So this, dear reader(s), is what I have been busy with for the last 20 weeks. The third awesome project in my trilogy of boys I have been expending all my energy on “growing” this newest edition to our little testosterone family. This is why I have been lounging on the couch in the evenings [...]
