Yesterday I mentioned that I had bought some ready made gingerbread pastry - you may have thought I had just made that up ........ but it is true!
I have a set of cutters to make an entire gingerbread family ......
...... but I also have this set, which has all sorts of shapes, which is probably what I'll use, having been inspired by this post from Rattling on...
It was a hard decision to pick one of my new hot chocolates this morning, but I finally settled on the Rocky Road. It was delicious ..... dark and rich, but not too sweet. Do you like Malcolm's coffee mug - I bought it for him some years ago. When you drink all the coffee, there is a heart on the bottom!
Every so often, my bathroom door hinges start squeaking. I like to have a quick and easy way to do things - so this fits the bill! It only takes seconds to oil the hinges and there is no smell
At patch'n'chat this afternoon, Cath was working on a small quilt which she is making to go across the bottom of the bed in her guest bedroom. I love the colours - autumn shades are definitely my favourites
Now that we are well into November, we are allowed to mention Christmas! Pam was working on some bright Christmas stockings
And now for the best bit of Friday posts ...... the cake. Annette has been unwell, so she hadn't baked this week. But we had the next-best thing - cakes from local firm Border Meringues. First there was lemon drizzle cake, one of my favourites ..... absolutely yummy
Then there was an unusual orange and chocolate cake. I had of course to eat a piece of this one as well, solely so that I could tell you about it! It was enjoyable, but not as good as the lemon drizzle.
I'll be busy tomorrow making things for my sales table (chocolate could be involved!), then on Sunday I'm off to have a day with like minded crafty folk at a Woolgathering ... I missed the last one, so it will be good to catch up with what the others have been doing. Whatever you are doing, I hope you have a good weekend, love Anne
