Paddy's Day Surprise

I came home from work the other day and saw a parcel addressed to me. Upon opening it I got a lovely surprise. A wallet made from duct tape and a card for Paddy's Day. They are fab but I can't figure out who sent them to me :)

Necklace & earrings made today

I bought these pieces while away in December and haven't know what to do with them.....until today!!

Quick Card

Valentine Mini

Here's a mini I made for my valentine. I started making these two weeks ago and just love them. They are so much fun and can be made for every occasion. I really have to get myself in gear and do up a tutorial as promised on an earlier post.

Itsy Mini

Here's an itsy mini that I made for a swap I'm hosting over on PCP. The theme was to make the itsy using pink somewhere as February is Breast Cancer Awareness month. We also had to put a few quotes on the tags relating to "girl power" or "sisterhood" in respect of our fellow female crafters. The mini is only 2.5 x 3.5 in measurement, so it's really tiny. To make these you only need a 12 x 12 sheet of paper and then some scraps to make little tags for the pockets. I'm going to work on a tutorial soon, so watch this space.

ATC Swap

I took part in the ATC swap over on YPP. The theme this month was "Heartthrob" so we had to make ATCs based on what we love the most. I didn't want to share a photo of my hubby so chose the next best thing, my puppy Angel. She is the sweetest most lovable little thing ever. We had to stick to the colours red, black and white so I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. TYFL

Diet Coke Chicken

A few ladies asked for the recipe for the diet coke chicken and so here you go:

Mini chicken fillets or diced chicken breasts

Can of Diet Coke

Passata

2 onions

1 pepper

Oxo

Worcestershire Sauce

Cook chicken in fry light and add chopped onion. Sprinkle with oxo cube and add diced pepper. Once chicken is almost cooked add 6 tablespoons of passata to diet coke and mix well, then pour over chicken in a pot. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer for 15-30 minutes until the sauce thickens. Serve while hot.

I served mine with home made egg fried rice and it was delicious.
