Halloween pumpkins

This was the first time I did some actual pumpking carving for halloween since it is no tradition were I live. It was harder work than I had imagined but we also didn't have a proper cutter at hand. So I blame that ;)

Enough talk....here they are!

 My favourite is the one on the right. I love his YARRRRR~ expression ^^

Pumpkin soup

One of the best things of fall are delicious pumpkins. I love them. So of course time for yummy pumpkin soup. I made it in october and we had some fun painting with balsamico vinegear ;)

Yummy!

Muffins with bacon and onions

I love muffins since there is no end to their variety and they are so easy to make. I encourage everyone who says he can't bake to try them at least once. If I can make them everyone can ;)

Great for something to eat at work are these muffins with bacon and onions. You can't always have sweet.

Here are ones I made in September. This was my first try.
Ready for the oven!

 And done!

I made them again a month later, in october, to try out a new muffin mold in the shape of a flower.

Hmmmm....bacon =D

Shortbread

It's been ages since my last post. I'm barely online anymore and have even less time for crafting. Especially the later makes me sad sometimes, because I really feel that I need some place for crafting and creativity in my life.
My job isn't the worst in the world (by far) but it is so unfullfilling and leaves me often in a sour mood which is quite exhausting.

Anyways! Time for something more fun!

I may have next to no time for crafting, but I wasn't that lazy and ventured into the world of baking and cooking and other housewifey things. Better late than never, right ;)

First I want to present you something very British to enjoy when it's tea time: Short bread.
The recipee is very simple: 125 gr soft butter, 40 gr sugar, 25 gr powdered sugar, 225 gr flour and a hint of salt.There are other variants though.
Short bread is very dry and simply tastes of butter and flour but it tastes great with some tea. This one I made in August and it didn't last a day ;)

Have a great tea time =D

Muffins with love topping =D

And more Muffins because they are so easy to make. This time with pink love <3

They were delecious~

My first rainbow muffins

Upon special request.... ;)

Another little post card

Making post cards is much fun since tehy are not as tiny as ATCs but still small enough to not spend hours upon hours on them ;)

Here is one I made for my lovely Mimchan =D
The pic is before cutting...hence the borders.

 More details.

It was so much fun to make.
