1960's Coat

Almost a year ago now I made a 1960s coat for part of my first year in Textiles A-level.  I used a grey wool herringbone fabric with a pink patterned lining.  There are two large pockets on the front, bound button holes and a large collar.

Here are the photographs of my finished product!

Last Night's Salmon Dinner

A simple, hearty meal last night.  I baked sweet potato fries which were delicious and served them with a salmon fillet and tender-stem broccoli.  A perfect end to the day.

Salmon fillet, Sweet potato fries and tender-stem broccoli drizzled with balsamic glaze.

Brown Rice and Chicken Salad Lunch

Lately I am trying to be more healthy, and this lunch I had today was simply delicious!  I had this in between revising for my exams (which are next week!) and it feels great to fill my stomach with meals like this one rather than junk food as I and many other teens going though A-levels turn to on a regular basis.  It doesn't take long to whip up a scrumptious salad like this one and you will feel healthy and energised afterwards!

Brown rice, chicken, feta cheese and lots of greens.

1920s dress up!

Feathers and sequins, cocktails and dancing, the glamorous nights of the 1920s... Bring it on!

Cupcakes

A friend and I had a great day making cupcakes!

We first made our 'kiddy cupcakes', with the help of my little sister.  They are so much fun to make because you get to pretend your six years old again and create whatever comes to your imagination!  Not exactly professional looking, however very cute and yummy!

We then made these slightly neater looking white chocolate cupcakes that were also lovely! 

Double chocolate chip cookies

My boyfriend and I had a great day making these mouthwatering double chocolate chip cookies, they were perfectly gooey, chocolatey and delicious!

Father's day tea!

For Father's day - hosted at my house - My mum, sister and I made this gorgeous cake - that tasted delicious if i do say so myself! As I have stated, it was a 'tea' and below in the pictures you can see all the beautiful teacups and napkins laid out for everyone.  It was a lovely afternoon!
