Made with Love

Earlier this year I had a friend ask me to make her a little heart shaped art work for her to use in her pregnancy photo shoot.  She had seen this canvas below and wanted her heart in the same look.

Here is what I did: 

Canvas heart

Covered in fabric scraps

Added paint

Added doodling

Printed text and adhered to heart

The finished product.

I was happy with how it turned out and so was my friend. Now I am just waiting to have a look at the pregnancy pictures and for the baby to arrive. 

White Christmas

I live in the southern hemisphere meaning Christmas here is hot. No white Christmas's where I live. Instead of heating it is air-conditioning. We do however enjoy eating White Christmas and so I wanted to share my recipe.
1. Line a 18 x 28 cm tin with foil

2. Mix 1 1/2 cups of Rice Bubbles, 1 cup of powdered milk, 1 cup of icing sugar, 1 cup of desiccated coconut and 1 cup of mixed glace cherries/sultana in a large bowl.

3. Melt 250g Copha in pan over low heat, allow to cool slightly.

4. Pour into dry ingredients and stir till ingredients moistened.

5. Spoon into tin, smooth surface and refridgerate for 30 mins or until set. Cut into slices.

I used mine for teacher gifts. I cut the white Christmas into slices and placed in a jar. Cut out a piece of linen, tied with bakers twine and attached a gift tag. 

A yummy, beautiful, easy gift.
