P.K.Stomp

Well I finally finished P.K.Stomp, he ended up being black rather than the bright blue that everyone associates pukeko's with, but he is rather cute. He is in the shop and there will be more, but only after I have finished some more Moo.N.Choos, Pig.E.Dwiggity, H.P.Hop, H.T.Dog and I.T.S.Meow and L.E.Phant, boy thats alot!!! ooh well, it will keep me busy.......

Heres a great Tutorial

A little while back I found this great tutorial on how to sew softies up once you had stuffed them, I wanted to share, BUT do you think I could find it again, well Melly, has a Tutorial Tuesday and she has just blogged a tutorial here, I have been finishing my softies off this way for a while now and its great. Hope you find it useful.

MAN at the moment, I feel like I am taking 2 steps forward and 1 backwards, everything has snowballed and I can't get enough hours at the moment, as my customer base grows so do the orders!!!!, it is very exciting though and I am looking forward to next year, a few exciting plans are in swing. How are your weeks going leading up to christmas???

My most favourite Cookie Recipe

I'm not sure how long I have had this recipe, but I started making these cookies when my husband and I moved in together, now that was a while ago. I have only just rediscovered it this year, after deciding that biscuits were not essential in our household. The kids havn't missed store bought biscuits and what a fantastic saving to the weekly food budget. This recipe says it makes 60 which is a lot, I manage on average to get 50, it depends on how big you want them. I normally mix the whole recipe, bake what I want and roll the rest into balls and freeze for those times when I am not in a baking mood!!!

Yum Cookie dough....

Yum fresh baked cookies...



Milo Choc o Nut Cookies

250g butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
6 tblspn milo
1 cup chopped peanuts
1 cup choc chips

Cream butter, sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into creamed mixture, add milo and stir well to combine. Stir in the peanuts and choc chips. Measure tablespoons of mixture and roll into balls. Place onto a tray lined with baking paper, press down with a fork. Bake at 180deg for 20 mins or until golden brown.


yumm perfect with a coffee, happy baking.....

SOOO cute!!!

This is something my 4 year old says every time I make something, the next thing to come out is "can I keep her" hence I have gotten my story down pat as to why she can't, whew so no more tears. I had fun making this little fluff ball and plan on a dog next, they will get to my shop eventually, just giving a sneak peak on what I have been up to, hope she made you smile :)
