We used ties from the dollar store and fabric paints and fabric crayons. Loads of fun and I bet the Daddys are going to look AMAZING at church on Sunday!!!!

BUT WAIT........ WHAT DID WE EAT??

CHORIZO SANDWICH SKEWERS

Ingredients:

2 Turkish garlic bread sticks
2 Chorizo sausages

Haloumi cheese

Basil pesto dip with cashews
basil leaves

Method:

Cut Turkish garlic bread loaves in half, as if you were making a sandwich. Spread each side with pesto dip. Top bottom side of bread with a layer of basil leaves, sliced chorizo & sliced haloumi. Place other side of the garlic bread on top (to close sandwich) and weight down for 10mins. Cut sandwich into bite sized pieces (about 3cm X 3cm) then place 3 pieces in each skewer. Brush with olive oil and cook until golden in frying pan. 

SOOooooOOo Yummy....ENJOY!!!

Our Mums Group gift for Neice (she just had a new bubba)

A while ago at Ria's place, we laid out lots of material and scrapbooking stuff on the table and all got to work in making Vernice a cool gift!!

We covered the wipes box and travel box sizes with the fabric and added lots of bits and pieces for trimmings :) We even got an old xerox box and covered it with materials, popped in some muffins.  In each of the muffins, we inserted a skewer with had more bits n pieces on top. 
Everyone got arty farty and we had a ball of a time making this gift for Neice and we were done within 2 hours.. She came over and we surprised her with our Congratulations :) and finished off mums group with some FOoOOOOOd of course !!

Better living everyone ! X
