Cupcakery Makery
I seem to have sweet fooditis, I can't stop making and eating sugary treats.
My latest obsession is baking cupcakes. I am not a baker, I hate going to all the effort, whisking, melting, creaming etc only for it to be a dud but these cupcakes are something else.
They are such a cinch, I thought I'd share the recipe
125g self raising flour
125g soft margarine
125g caster sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat yoru oven to 180 degrees.
Cream marg and sugar with the back of a fork until pale and smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, just use your fork to mix them in.
Add the vanilla.
Add the flour in about 3 shakes, mixing well with the fork.
**Mmmm this cupcake mix tastes good enough to eat just like this :0)**
Line a 12 muffin tray with cupcake cases.
Dollop dessert spoonfuls in to cases and bake for 20mins or until golden brown.
Cool then ice with butter icing - thick buttery icing, coloured pink or with a splash of lemon juice.
Oh me, Oh my!!!

Felt like a rose
I am in love with fabric flowers - I try them all, I love the way they look!
I am also in love with felt, felt + flowers = these
I only sold 2 at the last market I did and even dropped my price to $8 each - maybe now they're in my shop folk will snap them up?
My wee girl Eva is not a fan of hairclips, she goes crazy if I even tuck hair behind her ears. She did however allow me to take this photo, not high quality but it earnt her a chocolate fish :0)

Craft 2.0
Had a great time at Craft 2.0 on Saturday. Very quiet customer wise we think due to sunny weather and the Martinborough Fair being on the same day.
I met some lovely fellow crafty folk so low sales didn't dampen my day :0)
I will be at the Autumn Knack market on 20 March ... this was the first fair I ever did this time last year, I feel like a seasoned pro now.

World Famous in New Zealand ... kind of
Holy Moly! Has it really been months since I last updated this?
I've been in the press, the Sunday Star Times Magazine in the "Going Up" column. Lucy from Felt decided to use an image of my Russian doll frigo magnets to advertise and promote Felt - I bought 3 papers on Sunday and told everyone I know :-)
What else have I been doing? Well, I've made some different coloured magnets and started doing some more embroidery.
I have a stall at the next Craft 2.0 on 6 March and have done sweet F.A sewing since way before Christmas. I best get on, my wee girl has gone back to creche today so I should, theoretically have more time to be crafty ... hmmm.
in the pink...
Woooh, just realised it's F F F Friday, huzzah.
