New Mixer!!!!

My Fiancé bought me a new food mixer for my Christmas present... love it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BEST WISHES FOR 2016!!!!!!

Christmas stockings!

I'm only just learning how to use a sewing machine so it's all new to me! I found some spare Harris Tweed and decided to have a go at making something, since it's nearly Christmas what's better than making some Christmas stockings! Very pleased with how they have turned out... practice makes perfect!!

Getting into the Christmas spirit... already!

I recently went to a creative evening with a few friends to support the Cancer Research Charity, here's my creation... Christmas cup lights!

Winter Warmer!

As the days and nights are getting colder, what's better than a lovely warming soup to warm you up?!

Here's my leek and potato soup!

2 large potatoes
1 medium leek
1 carrot
1 onion
1 stick of celery

Spray a pan with fry light, add all the veg and soften. Add the bouillon powder and boiling water. Blitz with a hand blender until smooth add more water until you get the consistency you like and season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy
