Yvonne deserves her own post, showing the stuff she has been doing over the last few months, so here we go.
First up, she has been making cards and envelopes from the excellent Rebecca Jones book,
And here's a few of them.
Not content with that, she has made a dairy free cheesecake for our daughter Naomi, who is coming down next weekend.
The base is made from Cashew nuts, desiccated Coconut and Coconut Oil. The middle from Cashews, Berries, more Coconut Oil, Vanilla and various other things. It's all topped with Berry jam, using Berries from the garden.
I hope she likes it, I cleaned the bowl and it was delish!!
There will be another picture when it's cut.
Finally, Yvonne has started cross-stitching for a charity called Lovequilts. Find them here in UK
It's a wonderful thing to do, needless to say, I'm very proud of her, here is the first project she has done, a Camper Van card.
The first of many I'm sure, I'll keep you updated on her progress.
I love every bit of this post!I will have to find that book online and the camper cross stitch is awesome! The perfect color also. Seriously, England has some of the best stitchery and cross stitch patterns! I am all inspired now to bake and craft! Lovely lovely post!
ReplyDeleteYvonne says Hi, she was going to make the cross-stitch into a quilt panel but misread the instructions and cut the aida into the wrong size! Cue lots of muttering!!!!! Anyway she cut it down into a card for them. She has ordered more aida, I will cut it next time lol.
ReplyDeleteOh I once did that and boy was I disappointed. Couldn't find a frame and had to get a custom made frame. Really excited to see the finished quilt, a must future post. Oh and great start to the new book!!!
