Mega-post!!

I haven't got round to showing you any of my crafty things these last few weeks so here goes ;0). Above are a couple of birthday cards for the June birthdays, although I forgot to photograph the last one.

Crocheted brooch with button.

Love these - embroidered phone charms made with felt hearts/stars.

A couple of bracelets for myself.

A crocheted bangle for the shop.

A crocheted cuff/bracelet with button.

More tins.

And last, but by no means least, nine beetle keyrings.

I'm also drying some wild rose buds for use with Christmas gifts or just for pot pourri, but I forgot to take a piccie. Also, trying to get a load of bags cut out ready for a mammonth sewing machine session, plus I've got some felt noughts and crosses made already, just need to make the little bags to put them in. And before you think 'blimey, how has she managed all that' ( ;0) ), the house looks a state, and the veg patch has rather too many weeds!!! Crafting is much more fun. Beach tomorrow.

Erm!

Couldn't think of a title today! I made my first decent muffins yesterday, with rhubarb in them. They are scrummy. I found the recipe on Channel 4 website

225g SR flour (I substituted half with spelt flour)

1 tsp baking powder

75g melted butter

175ml milk

1 egg

approx 200g fresh fruit or veg chopped

for fruit muffins add 100g soft brown sugar

Pre-heat oven to 200C Gas mark 6

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix to get rid of most of the lumps.

Mix in the fruit/veg (I part cooked the rhubarb), then place in your muffin tin and bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown.

Enjoy :-)

More vinegar with lemons in it - I use this as the rinse aid in the dishwasher.

3 phone (whatever you want) charms made with wooden beads.

2 necklaces made with wooden beads.
