September Smiles

I love September! Children are back in school and the grown ups can come out to play.

It was so nice to see my regular ladies again and our newest addition to the group - all working on something TOTALLY different!

The new Yogi teas were a hit - ginger and orange but I think I might just have to get some of the chocolate tea in. Yum.

I have promised to make my ginger and banana loaf for next week so I might just have to get some fresh bananas today so they will be just right for baking at weekend. It's always best left to mature for a couple of days.

No soup recipe today - I am trying to work out how to still do soup on Wednesdays. It will come to me but in the meantime, I've put a little recipe at the end of the blog - a nice sauce to accompany chicken and steamed potatoes.


Did I say I'd missed my gang?


Georgina working on her ladybird. 
Can't wait to see her new project, starting next week!


Do ducks eat fish? Sue's mallard might!


Bridget's White Nancy is coming along nicely - loving the sky!


Anita's  tray is beginning to look delicious!

I felt like to doing a little dance before - the sun was out, brews and  biscuits were on the table and chit chat was flowing.

We did, as always, get to discussing food and I promised I would share my recipe for my favourite quick sauce:

To serve 2
1 tablespoon low fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons natural yoghurt
1 teaspoon English mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
Mix well and serve in a sauce bowl on your plate.

I love this with baked chicken breast, steamed beetroot and potatoes, served with green beans and cauliflower.  

See you next week!

Brilliant day at Oakwood

I really have had a brilliant day. I know I was looking forward to going to Oakwood but I enjoyed the time there more than anticipated.


We started off by soaking some tiles to get the backing paper off...


...it was a long job...


...which took lots of concentration...


...and laughter...



...and chit chat...




After lunch, we got down to the serious business of placing the tiles and fixing them down.






I can honestly say that this panel has been made with fun and friendship running through it.  I enjoyed myself so much, I am going back to finish it with the group very soon.



Well done to EVERYONE at Oakwood Centre.  Thank you for having me!

Milk Bottle Top Hill

Good morning folks!  BRR - well, we woke up this morning FREEZING! Yes, the heating had decided to go to sleep and not wake up this morning. It's not all bad, though, a little persuasion from me and it awoke, albeit sleepily.  Ah, warm again.

I was chatting to a friend of mine the other day and we were talking about White Nancy. She said their school would take children up to 'milk bottle hill' in Bollington. I wonder if this is White Nancy? It does fit!

That leads me to my next though, I'm delivering some card making sessions at the community centre on 25th November and I think I might design a Christmas White Nancy Card...

Ok - that's me signing off for this morning. Got to get my boy to school then come back and create.

Have a good day

Debbie xxxx
