Treats

I love Baking!

I usually bake and gift Gingerbread cookies for my friends. Well for the second Christmas running I was not up to the challenge of baking and icing dozens and dozens of cookies... Christmas 2010 for sure! Promise!

So this Christmas I came across this recipe for Oreo Truffles... Can I just say YUM! I made 3 batches and I even whiped up a label for packaging up the treats...

I wanted to give out Nigella's Hokey Pokey... that didn't turn out to well... Next time I'll do it this way for sure!

Happy 2010!

Happy Belated New Year Everyone! So what did you do? I was in bed by 11pm.... I'm still fighting this cold, that is about a month old... I'm in the clear now I think... I hope!

I am so behind on everything, this cold took a lot out of me... it was a rather dire Christmas and I'm glad that it's over... I just need to finish taking down the decorations and that will be that.

I really think 2010 will be a fabulous year... my head is bursting with a lot of creative ideas and projects... so watch this space! For the rest of the month I will be posting my Goals & Disciplines for 2010... (I think I have about 8)...

until next time then!

I've been so sick over the past 2 weeks... it's almost gone (the cold) I just have this awful chesty cough... I wasn't able to finish my Christmas crafting with this cold and taking extra hours at my part-time job... by the time I have free time to do anything or take pictures, it's to dark!

Well I guess after Christmas I'll have some photos to share with you... for now have a very Happy Christmas!

Making Christmas : The Beaded Garlands

I've been feeling quite crafty lately (maybe because of Halloween?) So why not whip up some decorations for Christmas... and why not.. It seems that I've hoarded a lot of beads, fabric, wire, more beads over the years... it's about time I took them out and made something...

My garlands were inspired by this and this from Cox & Cox...

I call one above the Ice Garland... I may add lights to it, I'm not sure... it all depends where I put it.. I'll know for sure once the tree goes up... it may end up in the kitchen..

I'm still working on this red and copper one.... it may be a garland or maybe a wreath for the front door... I may even patina the copper wire... still not sure

After Halloween

This Halloween we decided to have another couple over for a little spook-fest... we had treats... a quiz and watched a not so scary movie (Prom Night 1980) it was a very fun evening!

I really enjoyed decorating the flat.... we even brought in a pumpkin... very Martha, no? It only took me 15 mins for me to do... I will definately do this again next year...

Actually I did a lot of Martha Halloween decorum this year (time was a factor this year... I bought some plastic skulls that I spray painted black then covered in glitter..
