Toothache go away.................









Hi Sweet-peas......

Oh I have been feeling a bit yucky for the last few days(many days).......toothache!!!!!
Thank goodness I finally got into the dentist yesterday and he kindly filled the nasty big hole in one of my little munchers, which means I am starting to feel much better. 

Look at "Trouser" his cute wee eyes match my mustard wool cardigan......he was one very snotty
 pussy-cat to be picked up for a photo.
The scarf I am wearing was a present from my lovely lunch guest last weekend....Katherine.
She also gave me the sweet wee leather purse with acorns on it, I was super excited when I realised it matched my tooled leather handbag with acorns. That made this little squirrel very happy.
The table setting is from our lunch.....I was so busy chatting I forgot to get a photograph of the two of us, rats. But I did get a pic of the Ciabatta bread I made, Yip I made it and so can you, its so easy.
My gorgeous friend Christina has the most wonderful blog with all sorts of scrumptious things to make in the kitchen and around the home. 
If you want the recipe pop on over to:
Its a delight.

Is there MUSHROOM in your basket..........








Hi my little mushrooms(sweet-peas).......

I was talking to our lovely neighbours, Vicki and Bill at the letterbox the other day when they told me they had a paddock filled with 
field- mushrooms.......
"If you want some just pop up and help yourself"
Do I what.......
Oh oh.....I was so excited.....I rushed inside grabbed a basket, put on my gumboots and collected some peppers and tomatoes to trade, kissed Warren goodbye, then ran down the road.
It was so much fun......I skipped all the way home grinning and swinging my basket like I was a five year old.
We cooked them up that night and they were so yummy.

Now the wee pinafore I am wearing was a find on the $2 racks at Toffs in Dunedin. It was down to my feet and had overall type buckles to attach the straps.
Out came the sewing-machine to shorten it and then replace the buckles with some cute fabric covered buttons with embroidery flowers. There you have it a perfect around the house/paddock, work pinafore all for $2 and a bit of time to "make it work".
