Sunday makes and bakes

Hi,

So it's be another busy weekend, Saturday was a day for tidying, organising cupbiards ready for Christmas goodies.. after that I thought It was time to dust off the sewing machine and make these cute christmas cones, fab for sweeties and candy canes.

and another make up bag.

It was the xmas light switch on in our town which was great, it always makes christmas feel closeby.

Today we made gluten free mince pies and stollen

And yes the christmas cups, plates are out!

I baked a pie.....

I have to think keeping it cozy blog about pumpkin pie..x

Once I read it, I couldn't resist having a go, I used to buy the pie case but since being gluten free I can't anymore.

So using the recipe on keeping it cozy I tried to make my own pastry case , which if you read my blog the other me and pastry are not best friends! but it worked  yaaaay I am so pleased, here are my 2 little pumpkin pies and as mary berry would say no soggy bottoms!!

with cinnamon cream

Christmas pudding

Here is my latest make...Christmas is coming..

I just cannot wait nowx

little pickle is singing Christmas songs for the big sing choir

so it feels festive in our house already.

Little pickle Christmas list is growing daily hmmm

Thanks for reading and catch up soon

Kitten Smitten!

Happy Tuesday!

Well I am very happy it's dry today, after being soaked though yesterday and having wet shoes from 8.30am - 6.30pm, not a happy bunny!

Now as you know we have had Mittens the kitten for about 4 months now, and I cannot believe how big she is and how cheeky..

Before we brought her home - 8 weeks old

Mittens being a little monkey!

And this is her now- she is getting bigger by the day.

She is often found spread out like this until she slides off, mid sleep and gets very cross, as if someone has pushed her off:))

I must admit I do fear for my Christmas decorations this year, me thinks a small real tree upstairs with the glass baubles on. (any excuse for another christmas tree)

So I started making these slippers for pickle before we even got Mittens, they have taken awhile to do, as it's been a project I keep stopping and starting but here they are----

I am very happy with them, I hope pickle will be come Christmas!

Thanks for reading my blog and catch up again soon

Let the Christmas bake begin!

Good Afternoon...

I had a very busy weekend, so I posted my fruit soaking for my cake last week, on Saturday this made it into the oven, in a square tin this year as per pickles request.

Before that we made Rocky Road, the smell of chocolate filled the air..

It does look better when covered in snow (icing sugar)

After that we made Sticky Gingerbread - Gluten Free of course.

Then it was time to try Gluten free Rough puff - mmmmmmm well I can't say we got on really, I think I need to do another 2 rounds of roll and fold to build up the layers, but the taste was better then before - Hubbie however did not agree and wants the original with gluten and more cheese!

The pastry was also used for Sausage rolls, however I ate them all before photos could be taken.

So that was just Saturday --- On Sunday,

It was Cranberry and White Choc chip cookies, some frozen for Christmas ( gluten Free again), these turned out every well and the kids have been eating them as quick as I could bake them.

Sorry but the light was so bad.

And Finally the Christmas Puddings - All 4 in total , the smell was lovely,can't wait for Christmas day!

I had such a great weekend, I love getting organised and knowing my freezer has goodies in it!

More to follow soon---

If anyone wants the gluten free recipes please message me
