Indian Summer

After school treat, to celebrate this very welcome weather, hope you are enjoying it too !

Making and Baking

 Before this amazing weather arrived I had a bid baking session, including making
this so simple but very yummy soup, using the Avoca Cafe Cookbook. My cousin
introduced me to the Cafe's and cook book's a few years ago.
Avoca started as a family run business of Hand weavers and has
grown and grown. The soup requires zero cooking and prep, using
frozen sweet corn, onion and a few spices its very cheap too.

 I was given the recipe and base for this cafe "Herman the German" you have to
"feed" the cake for 7days, then on the 7th and final day you divide the mixture
into 4 and add more ingredients to one portion, bake, and give the 3 bases to
friends.

Kemp Town Treasures

Do you ever get bored with the same walk into town ? Yesterday I started from the marina and made my trip into town via Kemp Town, stopping to fuel up at Ground a lovely coffee shop. My tea was served in a huge glass cup and saucer with my own tea strainer, it made me Oh and Ar when it arrived, (sorry no

Photo, Oops camera at home), the walk into Brighton has plenty of vintage and retro shops to hunt out bargains. I picked up this retro fabric for a fiver to make into some purse's and bags. Hope you are having a great week end too.

Learning to crochet

I have loved knitting, sewing and craft for years

but I had never learnt to crochet.  So with the

help of Pip Lincolne's book Meet me at Mike's,

I finally got around to it, phew ! NOT easy to

start with, but these great videos found on

you tube and this one helped to explain the

chain 1 and treble 3, and now I am the proud

owner of a pile of granny square, I need to sew

in all the loose ends and either crochet or sew them

into ? I'm not too sure , maybe with a fabric backing

and a zip a cosy cover for my laptop. Oooo and by

the way Pip also has a great blog full of crafty ideas.
