Granny Squares

 Using this great book "Meet me at Mike's"
I taught myself to crochet, a while back.

 I had a fab time making granny squares.

This time I just kept making the granny square
bigger and bigger until, I had a small blanket.

This way I did not have to join the granny squares together to
make my blanket. I found Pip Lincolne's book good, but I
also found these videos on you tube invaluable.

Can't wait to start on something new !

Choccywoccydoodah

Approach with extreme caution, a very
very empty stomach and at least 3
friends to share one portion of cake !

choccywoccydoodah residing in the
lanes, Brighton serves the most
enormous portions of its fabulous
famous cakes.

 Yes ! This is one portion.

 With a very very full stomach you
can enjoy the larger than life decor.

Chessboard Biscuits

 For this weeks bake I tried the Ikea cook book. I had no
idea that Ikea did cookery books until my aunt kindly
gave my daughters this one for Christmas.

 The layout of the cookery book is amazing (see above) bold
photos of the ingredients are display in a very visual way.

 Some of the dry ingredients are measured in ml - but after a quick
search I found a ml measuring cup in the back of my kitchen unit.

 The results were very yummy !

Orla Keily - Wallpaper

 This Orla Kiely  wall paper has been waiting for months and months
to be taken out of the packaging and do it's "thing" on the living room wall.

So pleased I forced my self to conquer my fear of matching the pattern,
Orla Kiely wall paper is now also available at Wall Paper Direct.
I use wall paper direct lots as they will send you 2 - 3 large samples
of wall paper for free ! Enjoy todays sun.
