Yum yum – rumble goes my tum tum!

Special birthday cake

After a hard day’s work today, I came home to find this cupcake in my letterbox!!!!! This is a special birthday treat from my on-line fibre friend Kaite. Just take a look at the TLC that has gone into creating this gorgeous birthday postcard…..comprising beading beautifully added to a collage of paper, fabric, yarns, and foil – all ingredients for a high-rise cupcake that wants me to want to eat it. This is one cullinary delight, which being a colourful reminder of my birthday, will take pride of place on my pin-up board in my sewing room.

As my world of on-line fibre friendships open up, I am amazed by the support and friendship that is encountered along the way. It certainly adds another dimension to creativity, learning, and friendship – and loads of FUN.

Crunchy topped Raspberry Muffins

Temptation is good for you!

I am sure you have all heard about the tragic Victorian bushfires that have been burning all week, killing hundreds of people and leaving thousands homelss.   It has been such a sad and numbing time.  Also a time when  my creativity was flattened.  

This week I thought it was  time to tell you about a new recipe given to me by a fibre-friend, a country lady who is a fabulous weaver.   A batch of these nutritious crunchy topped raspberry muffins didnt last long!   Here’s a photo of one left, after only one hour out of the oven.

Next time I will tell you about playing with water soluble paper and paint.
