just some random thoughts......

so here's a little bit of randomness......

just because it is in my head and I thought

I would just write it down so that it

would stop buzzing around in my brain......

today was evie's last art lesson at the art gallery..... 

you know the one I wrote about last week........

{the one that involved the enormous sombrero......}

well, we all took a little edible 'something' with us

to this final class so that we could have a little

afternoon teaparty to celebrate the end

of the course.....

{it's always good to have a little party I reckon

to wrap things up.......}

it was a very civilized affair, with a nice little spread

of yummy goodness......

evie was the one who made our offering of

baked coconut slice with lemon icing........

and rather nice it was too......

but there was one cake added to the 

'table of yumminess'

that I had neither seen, heard of nor eaten before 

{and that is quite unusual for me as I am a

bit of a one for 'knowing my cakes'}

it was a 'jelly cake'.......

well, one taste of those little beauties had me 

racing home and 'googling' a recipe for the little 

tastey morsels, and this is one that I came up with.....

 

now, I obviously haven't had time to 

'roadtest' this recipe for myself to see if they

match-up to the ones I tasted this

afternoon but if they do.......

well, let's just say that I will be making them 

quite often as a little treat in our house.....

they sound a little 'unusual'

{jelly in a cake?}

but they are moist and delicious

and the colour of the jelly makes a

lovely bright, jolly, jelly cake.....

ok, that was random thing one,

now, random thing two.......

I've decided to crochet myself one of 

these bags......

{source}

because, you see, although I don't have a little

apple at present, I have a fleeting dream that I 

would like to have one of 'my very own'........

at the moment I have to share the laptop with all and

sundry in the household which means it is chock full of

games and music and photos and add-ons and

gadgets and gizmos and documents and.....

oh, I could go on but I will stop for now as

I am sure you get the picture......

 so much of the 'stuff' on the laptop

is not mine......

it belongs to the other souls in my home

who make great use of

{in other words 'hog'}

this machine......

my dream is to have my own little apple

which I can fill with all things lovely and

then use whenever I want to.....

I know this sounds ultra indulgent but

I am happy to wait and save up my pennies

and then one day I will have a little

jaunt to an apple shop and will

bring home my own little bundle.....

in the meantime, I will crochet a little bag for it so that

I can gaze at the bag and imagine the day when the

bag accompanies me to said apple shop and 

is filled with a little present to myself.....

ok, I think I will stop at two random thoughts for tonight

or this post might get rather too long and

you may fall asleep trying to get through it.....

tomorrow is friday......

yeah for friday.......

we love it in our house,

how about you?
