Today I was really happy as my kam popper pliers arrived. I had ordered some poppers a while ago and then found there was no way to fix them without the pliers! Fortunately they arrived very quickly and I can see various uses for all the poppers I now have!
It has been a bad month as far as being frugal goes. So many extra things have been necessary. However I am keeping up with my resolution to not buy any yarn or fabric. Apart from the mini cupcake fabric I had already ordered, I am working with things I have in my stash. Downsizing and saving!
This baby blanket is made from Bamboo yarn. Feels so lovely and soft!
This one I am working on is from a yarn called battufolo, really fine and lovely.
I made some strawberry jam from some fruit left from Palm sunday. Yummy. Using leftovers.
Shame there wasn't more! Lol!
So I will continue trying to be frugal!
Well a month has flown by here. Life has been hectic with several problems preventing me from doing as I would like to!
I have found some time to experiment with my yoghurt cake!
I wanted to make a cake with olive oil, homemade yoghurt and honey. Not easy to find a recipe I like so experimenting. I need to read up about the chemical proportions of cake making ingredients.
The first was a little browner in colour. I learnt that honey darkens as it cooks in the cake. Yesterday I changed the proportions slightly adding another egg and it was far lighter in colour. Also a different sort of honey...acacia instead of orange!
Using ingredients that are available to me without buying things was fun. The flour and the baking powder were the only bought ingredients!
DD had some with strawberry jam! I must make some jam this year!
Then there was also the version with Nutella! Lol!
Well at least she did eat it!
Baking can be fun.
