Another Busy Week

Phew! It's been another busy week.
 
 
At the beginning of the week, I discovered who my partner was for All4meggymoo's heart swap. I've been partnered with the lovely Jille and have been busily collecting bits and bobs for the swap this week.
 
 
It was my lovely mum's birthday on Friday so presents were crafted and wrapped and a cake was made (and eaten!)
 
 

I also managed to whip up another cowl this week in this GoRgEoUs green colour.

 
Baked some Snickerdoodles too this week for the first time, they were very yummy!

 
On Saturday I went on my beginners sewing machine course.
 
I had a fabulous day and made this beautiful bag! Very pleased with myself.

 
 
Today I got my sewing machine out and made a couple of lavender hearts.

 
Also managed to make a batch of brownies for pud tonight too.
 

Have you been busy?

    Dear Victoria
    Busy indeed! I think your bag is gorgeous and the hearts are lovely. I'm taking part in the Hearts swap too and it's all systems go here for that, but I am really enjoying getting things collected and/or made.
    Best wishes

      Hi Daisy,
      A Snickerdoodle is a cakey biscuit which is rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking. I can highly recommend them - I used a rachel allen recipe.

    Your bag with the roses is so beautiful! And the handcrafted things for your mother's birthday, wonderful!
    I also have been very busy : cleaning kitchen cupboards, bah., but necessary.

    Gosh, I'm so far behind with everyone! You've clearly been really busy and I've mostly been in bed!

    Oh-so-lovely makes... love the cake, love just the thought of snickerdoodles and love your pretty cowl. You have been busy! I see you're reading the new Kate Morton book - is it as lovely as the previous ones? Was thinking of making it my book club pick next month so would value your critique/opinion if you have a mo. Happy Monday, xx
