Day tripping......

A few weekends ago we went day tripping across the waves. Seems so strange still how quickly you can be in another country with so many things the same but so many differences too, not least the language that is spoken.
So I thought I would share with you, mostly in photos, some of what I saw whilst day tripping.

Our transport across the water


Our destination


some of the amazing buildings, so huge






moules anyone??


bustling streets


sausages anyone?


colourful pastries



all manner of goods to buy


loved the shutters on these windows


flea market treasure galore!





and a must have sweet waffle treat to end the day


homeward bound


I hope you've been out day tripping somewhere recently ;0 x

Mostly this weekend I will be......

off to Market!

Time for a giveaway!
This is a special giveaway with CSN Stores.

The giveaway is for a £50 gift voucher for you to use as you wish in any of their UK websites. How exciting hey?!! especially when it's the time of year with the change of the seasons happening or on the horizon, the kids back to school, it's time to think about a wee treat for yourself I feel!

I am loving these amazing chandeliers on there! well, I can dream no?!


Such a pretty branch (light) to having hanging form your ceiling.... *sigh*


But what I think I would be spending my voucher on would be some of their colourful and fun bake and cookware!

hearts


and stars!


Oooo a fun set of cutters! wee biscuits from these would look great for an afternoon tea or a party for big and small people alike!


wee planes!


and gingerbread people!!

Well it's been a while since I've posted and I'll be showing you soon what I've been making. I've been making items to see me through 3 fairs/markets in a week, yes I know not the best plan ever but that's the way they fell I'm afraid. So I have been basically attached to either a pair of scissors cutting fabric, an iron transferring images I've sketched or a sewing machine constructing the items to have on my stall!! Phew! pics soon.
Until then enter the giveaway!!!
Hope you've been enjoying your weekend ;0 x

The 52MMMC Week 6

Wellllllll here I am and I'll be posting about my makes a couple of weeks later than planned. Excuses yes, a few, mainly the day job, orders to complete and the fact that my little sister has recently got engaged and is getting married in March 2011!!!!! So many plans have been made already. I've been home to visit my parents for a family get together where all the plans that have been made so far were disclosed, so there we go, lots going on......

Anyhow, as I was off home for a visit I didn't want to go empty handed and so got out the baking book to bake a little something to take home, a sweet treat to share.......

so after flicking through the pages I decided to have a go at:


ingredients ready


and so the measuring and mixing begins


melting down


whisking up


more mixing


the ginger mix ready for the final ingredients


adding all the fruit


poured and ready to bake


being cut into slices prior to being consumed!


the taste verdict from the family was a thumbs up (phew!) so all good there. A sweet treat success! :) x
