Chocolate Chip Slab Cookies {RECIPE}

As you can see, I have been on a bit of a baking frenzy.

I whipped up my favourite Vegan Chocolate Cake out of boredom the other night....

Then I flipped open one of my favourite cook books and found a new recipe to try...

And I have to say...... They were delicious!!

The wait for them to cool is torturous, but the reward is well worth it.

Room temperature is best, when the insides are still soft and a bit gooey.

This photo is after they had been in the fridge for a while. When chilled, they turn into creamy fudge-like squares.

*Drools*

But I do have to say, I have been productive in other ways too!

I finished off these cute little pants for my boy, using the same method as in my tutorial for perfect fit pants...

I have been busy crocheting every night...

And some other mystery gifts I will show you later!

(Very cute, very soft, and a little bit blue)

On the menu for dinner tonight (for my meat eaters)...

Savoury Chops, found on this wonderful blog: Not All Tea and Scones.

And soon, I think I have to make some of these mini pizzas...

Found on The Comfort of Cooking.

How delicious do they look!

Happy Cooking!

Another Day, Another Dress

I finally finished tweaking my green floral dress.
Done!
Complete!
I can't remember the last time I used a pattern for clothing for myself and actually finished it, or liked the finished results.
But this one..... I like.
I just need an opportunity to wear it.
It all started with this pattern...



And with some minor adjustments it ended as this...

But it's not the only thing I have been sewing lately.

I made some pj pants for me and might even pop up a little tutorial on how to make perfect fit pj pants. I am in love with mine!

I wore my vintage spotty dress that I gave a little makeover...

 And I have been busy crocheting big blocks for my crochet blanket project...

I can't wait to see it finished!

Crochet and Coffee

I can't remember the last time I crocheted anything....

I know it has been a while.

A long, long while.

I did a quick search and found this post here...

*Gasp*

Surely, April 2010 could not be the last time I picked up a hook!

Sadly, I think it was.

It makes sense though, way back when I had only one child. 

Eve would have been 1 year old by then, she was a good little sleeper by this stage, my evenings were free for crafting.

Though mostly I chose to sleep.

But now I have found myself with a little (and I mean little) time in the evenings to do some crafting.

Since my girl is usually in our bed, my sewing machine is a little loud.

I found the simplest of joys.

Sitting in front of the heater, rugged up all snug and warm, pushing that yarn in and out, round and round.

I have always wanted to make a big granny square blanket, and now I am finally doing it!

 I even managed to snag myself a few minutes during the day *gasp* with both kids temporarily distracted.

 And this, is when coffee and crochet, go hand in hand.
