New Year Wishes :)

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential. ~Ellen Goodman


(I know everyone's probably tired of my endless quotes... but yes, I like this one ^)

Twas the night before the night before Chistmas...

Soooo, I havent been in a very blogging mood of late, but I thought I'd do just a little christmasey ditty for you :) (proabably mainly containing weheartit picutres ;))


I don't think i'm the biggest ever fan of christmas, it seems such a random handful of traditions to me, I think we would have a hard time explaining it to aliens somehow ;) Theyre's a great bit in an episode of Doctor Who, I think probably set in the future where someone's explaining it 'Then the people of England go to war with the country of Turkey, they then eat the Turkey people for chrsitmas dinner...' That said, I still enjoy this time, especially the weather ...

Le making of bath de le bomb bombs

^ No idea what that French means...

Anyway, made these the other day :) They're meant to be cupcakes... Lovely mumma invested in some silicon cupcake moulds which make it a lot easier! I was quite amazed that all the ingredients are edible, so they are fairly easy to find :)



Think I need to find a way of attaching a cherry!



The base is chocolate flavoured by adding cocoa powder, and the top is vanilla, by adding vanilla essence





^ These are all the ingredients! And the instructions can be found here :) I changed a few things since I didn't want to buy frangrence oils/colour for just making them once (So used food colouring & the vamilla essence etc, but generally proper soap making stuff is going to work better!) The other thing is, don't leave it lying around before you put the mixture in the moulds... as I found out....it sets super quickly ;)
