Rain, candles and Great British Bake Off

Today I have had a really lovely day with Mum! We went to Taverham Garden center and resisted the urge to buy Christmas fabric.

I really fancied soup due to all the rain today, it feels ever so autumnal, much to my delight their soup of the day was vegetable :)

I may have been able to battle temptation with fabric but when it came to Yankee Candles I was far weaker and bought Mountain Lodge and Kitchen Spice ready for the autumn months (which I can't wait for now)

After running around doing errands in the rain I curled up in my PJs and watched The Great British Bake Off, I do love that programme, there is always some really interesting concoctions and its so inspiring!

I'm off to make this for the boy...

Spinach, Pea and Ricotta Tart

Fabric Shopping Fun

It's taken me far too long to blog about my lovely day fabric shopping with Mum yesterday.

I got really well stocked up for my Autumn/Halloween crafting...

Apologies for the poor photo quality!

I also got a few Yankee Candles :)

BIRTHDAY :D

Today is my birthday :D

I am having a wonderful day. Went out with some friends and Mikey last night to party with lots of champagne then today I got breakfast cooked for me and Mum came round with Cadbury's Caramel Eggs, Cappuccinos and lovely presents.

My friend got me one of my favourite books...

Thanks Sean!

And Mum got me...

Liz Earl Goodies :D

An awesome kitty sewing kit :D

We then decided to go fabric shopping and I found some beautiful fabrics that inspired me so much, here they are...

Eastern Miniatures by Freedom Fabric

I want to make a tea dress out of this one!

Just Desserts by Diane Knott

Chick-a-dee Chick-a-doo by Robert Kaufman

There were a few others but I could not find them, but Mum bought me this one:

Polly goes to Paris by Henry Glass and I found on the net it also come in black...


No birthday is complete without some super cute new tricks from Minni


I had to include this picture of Minni attacking the camera when I tried to take a picture of her playing in the sink (she's such a diva hehe)

Meat Free Monday

This week Meat Free Monday was much more successful :D

I have had nibbley food throughout the day as I have had a MASSIVE migraine (which is annoying not only due to the horrendous pain but because I can't do anything but lay down when I have one)

Thankfully coffee and chocolate helped enormously, so much so I was able to make a trip to the fabric stall on the market and the post office

I found this little bargain on the fabric stall

This week for Meat Free Monday I cooked Vegetable Fajitas


Today I also got my Craft Swap present for Skunkboy Creations Craft Swap packaged up and sent off to the lovely DanityDaisies.

Here is a picture of the package all wrapped up, will blog about what I made once Michelle has recieved it, I want it to be a suprise:

Think I might wrap it up now seen as whilst writing this blog I have been making spicy pepper soup, peanut butter fudge and baked potato skin crisps, will upload photos in the morning!

Oh I nearly forgot a couple of cute photos of Minni I've been meaning to share.
