Ok, so I know I haven't been around for a while, and I do have some adventures which I will try and write about soon, but I really feel I have to share my latest excitement!! Please meet Philippa, my shiny new mixer!! (yes, I have a strange habit of naming inanimate objects - don't ask .....)
I have been very surprised to discover that I have a budding passion for baking, and I imagine most of my friends will be surprised too! (although, I think Kirstie will be quite proud!) I have made some valiant attempts at making cupcakes and cookies manually, but haven't been too pleased with the consistency of the dough so am looking forward to having a go with the mixer. :-)
Further excitement was had when I also bought a sewing machine online. My current skills don't stretch beyond sewing on a button, but I have fancied trying my hand at dressmaking for a while and, with help from the "idiots guide to sewing" book I ordered and pestering my friend who lives across the road (I apologise in advance, Katy!), I should hopefully be turning out pretty little dresses in no time :-)
Well, that's all I really have for now. I will keep you posted on my forays into domestic goddess-ery - I'm sure you could all do with a laugh! First up will be new improved cookies tomorrow - watch this space ........
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI have the same one!!! but yours is more special because it actually has a name. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies!!
ReplyDeleteBTW - as successful commenters and bloggers, do you have any idea why some people cant post a comment?
I'm so proud and so jealous - in equal measure! I have been lusting after that exact same kitchen aid for years... the saving continues! You two have fun! xxx
