keeping busy whilst resting !!

I find it extremely difficult to do nothing, it's just the sort of person I am & really I probably need to learn to relax more & I am trying... very trying my Husband says :D

So whilst I am under Doctors orders to sit and rest I've been keeping both my mind & hands busy. I've watched more TV & movies this past 3 weeks than I had in the rest of this year & I've been a little surprised by what programmes are on & the sorts that I like! Come Dine with Me has to be my top new discovery!!

I've also been crocheting & these are just a selection of the infinity scarves or cowls I've made.
Next project is to finish the 4 crochet cushion covers for our lounge. Pictures to follow ;)

Get Well Soon Gift...

to myself!!

I've wanted one of these babies for quite sometime now & decided that the best time to get to know it's potential was when I was stuck at home with time on my hands.

I managed to get a super deal on the Silhouette Cameo which even included a cover to keep it dust free when not in use. Unfortunately the offer was short lived.

I'm looking forward to cutting some amazing shapes and backgrounds using files which can be purchased cheaply. I'll share more as I go.

Trying new things...

Every month I've planned to cook a new recipe or 2 & for some reason I tend to pick sweet ones & October was no exception. As Hubby Paul celebrated his birthday during the month I thought I would turn my hand to his favourite pud - profiteroles - we even had them at our wedding breakfast many moons ago!

I used a Mary Berry recipe I found on line.


They were surprisingly easy to make & so very tasty that I've had to promice I will make them again very soon.
Now to find a recipe to try in November... any ideas ? x
