Rainy Day Traditions

Its raining here and since I've had kids I've kept my Nana's tradition of baking on rainy days. So today I made Cheaters Scones.  

What is your family tradition?

Cheaters Scones

3 Cups of self-raising flour
Pinch of salt
1 cup of lemonade
1 cup of cream

Preheat oven to 230 degrees.

Combine all ingredients together and mix to a light dough.

Roll out onto a floured board to desired thickness and cut out approx 12 scones.

Place into oven and cook for 12-15 minutes.

Serve with jam and cream.

As promised here is a photo of Master J wearing his new school beanie.

Busy week

Gift for Ella - Alexis Beanie in Cotton.  Rainbow done in a shell pattern rather than the usual stripes. 

Gift for Alexis - Ashleigh beanie with X stitch stripes with ear flaps and plaited ties.

Gift for Coco - Ballet Cardigan with matching Beanie.  Cleckheaton Pattern

Gift for Jess - Slouchy Beanie inspired by Vickie Howell's Urban Jungle.

I also finally made a beanie for Master J to wear to school this week.  Its navy blue and white, with  a pom pom, ear flaps and plaited ties.  He told me what he wanted and I made it.  It actually looks pretty good and he happily wears it in the morning.

I just love green

I just wanted to share a little something I made for baby Coco, whose Mum doesn't like pink.

On my own ...

I took the brave step of having my own stall on the 11 July at Poppyseed Markets. 

Usually I share with my Sister Liz.  It was a little scary but at the same time it was fun as I met some lovely store holders and customers.

 

My highlight of the day was trying on my Rabbit eared beanie on a newborn baby - she looked so cute, I wish I could of taken a photo.

My gang

Its finally the third and last week of school holidays - thank goodness!! 

 

3 weeks, 2 markets, 1 happy family.
