A little baking and some sneaks

I hope you had a good weekend.
Last week was another busy week.
I did have some friends over after school on Thursday though so I took some time out to bake.

Hollie made these, Peaches and Cream Cupcakes.
Tinned peaches on the bottom of the case, vanilla cup cake batter on top and baked.
I then made this light vanilla cream frosting.
Vanilaa frosting with fresh cream whipped in.


I also made this spiced banana and chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting.
And I made flap jacks too.
We've had so much, I've been giving it away.

I also made a chicken Korma for dinner last week and made my own naans.
They are yum, the family say the best they've ever tasted.
A friend asked me for the recipe.
So here you go Claire : )


Now onto something crafty.
Although I haven't posted much these past few days, I have still bee busy.
This week we have a new challenge up on the LESSology blog here.
We have all been making Photo Blocks.
Here are our sneaks.



This one was definitely a challenge for me.
But I did it and here's my sneak.
We have been sponsored by http://scrappinsports.com/ for this challenge.
One lucky winner will receive a selection of patterned papers.
Our Photo Block creations will be revealed throughout the week, so don't forget to stop by.


I hope you are having a Happy Monday.

Hands uP!!!

Do you have a Cocoa Daisy Kit on it's way to you this month?

I loved Denise's sketch challenge.
Go and take a look here.
She's made her own sketch with LO for inspiration.
I adore Denise's very artsy style.
This is my interpretation.



I've used the new June Cocoa Daisy Kit. I just love the bright Lilybee papers.
Aren't they fun?!!
And I'm so into adding circles to my pages right now.



The three of us in this photo just makes me smile. Ade captured it so well.
This was the day in April that we went to Chessington with my sis and her family.
The boys went on the Cobra first and then my sis, Hollie and I.
I wanted to hold on tight and they nagged me to put my hands up.
Total Peer pressure!!



I found some free printable stars online to print off, cut out and use as templates for my misting and stars on my page.

Want to play along, go on over to Cocoa Daisy.

I've loads on right now. Work and stuff and I'm really, really tired.
I need to go out this morning with 3 bags for the post office and I need to go into town for some supplies for work, but I so feel like staying in and I need to take the kids out after school as Hollie urgently needs a new coat and school bag. bOOOOO to going out today.
This means though that if I get everything done today, tomorrow can be a peaceful one
: ) That's the plan.

So, see you tomorrow when hopefully I'm enjoying my quiet day xxxxx

That's my Nan's old sewing machine in the photo that I was given a few years ago. My friend's elderly Dad has just serviced it for me, so as a little thank you, I made him this.
Aparrently he loves Licorice Allsorts.



Lots of handstitching on the card.
