A few more bits and bobs.


This is a wheat bag I made for a friend
And this is a handbag I "Goked" with gemstones. Just need somewhere to use it now.

DC's homemade Christmas

Last year me and my family had a Christmas based on Kirstie's Homemade Christmas and it was so much fun we did it again this year!
I found the simplest Coconut Ice recipe:
Ingredients For Coconut Ice:
340g desiccated coconut
340g icing sugar
400g tin of condensed milk
Optional food colouring
Directions For Coconut Ice:
1. Place the condensed milk into a bowl and add the icing sugar. Beat well then mix in the desiccated coconut. The mixture will get firm and difficult to stir but persevere until
everything is all combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two (add optional food
colourings to each) and spread into an 8inch square tin giving two coloured
layers and allow to set overnight
Thats it!!! No cooking involved and it tastes delicious.
I also found a really simple recipe for chocolate fudge and made three varieties which went down well as did the oat and raisin cookies.
For my sister I made a Chicken print cushion cover
