He's a Crafty Little Fellow

Oh man that title is a terrible pun! I should be embarrassed but at the same time I chuckled when I came up with it. 

I did say that I was going to make a return visit with my little crocheted sheep. And this is it! I finally had made the time to get him finished. Quite frankly I've been lazy about getting this guy done. I could have had him done the week after I introduced him, but I just kept putting him in the corner.
He looked rather sad in the corner despite having no face at the time. Poor little guy was just a fluffy little ball. Just sitting there oh so patiently waiting until I finally sucked it up and got him done.
And of course now I regret not getting him done sooner. Look at him! He's adorable!
And he's super soft and cuddly too boot!

Yummy In My Tummy Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake! Who doesn't like chocolate cake?

Okay I admit I'm not a cake fan. At least not usually. But this one took me by surprise. I was once again surfing pinterest trying to find a decent chocolate cake recipe. I was actually planning to use it for cupcakes, but hey, they are technically still cake.

Finally I came across one that looked promising. And so I gave it a go. It turned out beautifully in cupcake form. Just a bit of crunch to the outside while the inside was so perfectly moist and crumbly. Because it worked so well for the cupcakes I used it again to make a cake for miss K's cake smash. And later for her birthday. And they turned out pretty darn good.

Introducing Crafts

I've been working on something the past couple weeks now. And it's not a new recipe! Nope! It's this adorable little crocheted sheep. And I wish I had pictures of him finished. But I'm still working on him so he's still in pieces. 

I found the link to the pattern here: http://curlygirlcoop.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/sheldon-sheep.html?m=1

He's pretty cute I gotta say. And I'm really looking forward to getting him done. 

I'm planning to start adding my crafts to my Facebook page too soon. But we'll see how I do with this guy and the response I get here on the blog. 

I will also do a very quick blog once I have this little guy finished.  :)
