Homemade Donuts

Chocolate Iced Donuts

Cinnamon Sugar Donuts




I found the recipe for these donuts here. The kids like them but they are not super light and fluffy so next time, when I have more time (instead of it being a last minute morning tea request from Joel), I will make a different recipe with a yeast batter that needs time to rise. Still good enough as a first attempt. The only thing to remember is just because they are organic, doesn't make them healthy lol.

Outfit for Bethany

With the left over material  I was able to make Bethany a simple skirt, following this tutorial from MADE. The internet is a wealth of knowledge, free patterns, instructions and video tutorials.

Thanks Aunty Trac for your sewing inspiration and applique instructions!

Too easy!

A pillowcase dress for Bethany

I have this thing for Bethany in dresses with a long sleeve shirt and tights, so took to making this pillowcase dress for her, following the pattern and tutorial from Crafty Gemini.

Sewing Time- PJ's for Bethany

There was enough material left from what I had bought for Joel that I made Bethany a pair of PJ pants and matching shirt, again adapting the pants pattern from MADE. The Charlie Bear material only cost $6 so these pants haven't cost much at all!

Slow Cooker/ Casserole Dish Carrier

My oldest and dearest friend dropped a hint a christmas time that she would like a casserole carrier for her slow cooker. She celebrated her birthday in May and I was quite pleased that I remembered her hint, and that I was able to make this for her, thanks to this awesome tutorial at Crafty Gemini.

Happy Birthday Letoya- hope you enjoy many hot meals on the go with your casserole carrier.



Turkish Quinoa Pilaf

A beautiful friend gave me the book '500 of the healthiest recipes & health tips you'll ever need' for my birthday. I cooked this yummy quinoa dish from it.
