Feature Friday: Tommy & Tuppence & Giveaway!

I am so excited that I have been able to start the Feature Friday series again. I had to stop it during my IVF treatment and over the "morning" sickness period. However now that I am feeling better I am glad to be able to start showcasing some wonderful designers and crafters again.!

Tasty Tuesday - Blueberry & Oat Breakfast Mug Muffin

 Good morning everyone... If you read this post and it doesn't make sense I apologise in advance. I am currently recovering from a weekend of camping (Yes I went camping) and let's just say I didn't get much sleep in this time... stories to come in a later post. So I'm feeling a little camping "jet lagged" to say the least. It seems when I get tired my brain dies and then everything I do or say doesn't seem to come out right! So bear with me today! :-)

Works In Progress.....

 I have been pretty busy the last few weeks with my head down, bum up into furniture makeovers. I am trying to take advantage of my reasonable energy levels and reasonably size tummy for the moment. I know this is all going to change in the next few months so I want to grasp the opportunity to get things done now.

Tasty Tuesday - 5 Minute Sticky Date Pudding

Boy oh boy do I have a tasty recipe for you today. You're in for a real treat! I was inspired last week after viewing one of my friends  photo's on facebook of a delicious coffee cake she made in a mug using the microwave. I have heard and seen a few recipes like these and thought I should try it one day ........

Tasty Tuesday..... Caramel Popcorn Cupcake

Feeling sick of sugar and chocolate yet? I'm not but that's because I can't eat it! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed special time with your family and friends. We had a quiet Easter over at the Whimsical House.... pottering in the garden, relaxing on the deck, catching up with family and friends, lots of great food and a bit of painting - which turned disastrous. Visit me on Facebook to see what happened! I will tell that story in a bit more depth another day... because today I don't want to think or talk about it!

Fond Easter Memories.....

I've realised I haven't really written much about myself or personal experiences on this blog. It usually is all about cooking, baking, decorating, painting or renovating and not a lot of those posts have a lot of depth to them. However Easter time evokes fond childhood memories for me and I thought I would share them with you.

Tasty Tuesday... Sticky Five Spice Chicken Drumsticks

Since becoming pregnant and having and overcoming morning sickness my lack of interest in cooking has resulted in many a quick and simple meal being laid on the table. I can only imagine this will continue as the pregnancy continues on and the baby is born. It probably will get worse when we have a newborn in the house.
