night time baking

Can you believe before tonight I had never made chocolate brownies in my life? Crazy I know!

I made my first batch thanks to Sarah over at bobbyrobin. Her post on dairy-free brownies was just the chocolately goodness I needed. I raided my kitchen cupboards and found the recipe on the back of a tin of cocoa, not dairy-free but delicious nonetheless. It turned out I didn't have enough cocoa so I halved the recipe and made a batch of 8 muffin tin sized brownies which came out just perfect! Chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. This is definately one to put in the recipe book.

little me aprons

When I found these cotton aprons tucked away at my Mums I just had to steal them. I love the darling prints and how the fabric is feathery thin from being well worn.

Hard to believe I wore these around twenty-seven years ago!

little bee doll

My very first felt purchase arrived in the post today. A custom "Little Bee" doll by poppetto! I am stoked. I chose the fabrics and hair colour (which had to be brown of course!)

The wee doll is very cute. I was going to give it as a gift to a little someone but I like it so much I might have to keep it for myself! Hee hee.

Free little birdie brooch. Love it.
Thanks poppetto!
