Both the little bear, and his clothes, and the little wolf are both adorable.
I may have to have a go at those headbands, the knotting technique is intriguing

Brief Description: I love to bake, but baking dairy free is brand new to me – we have a good friend who has recently had to go dairy free, so I am determined to learn. Both of these cakes were dairy free.
Chocolate fairy cakes – weigh 2 eggs (in their shells) and weigh out the same weight of caster sugar, self-raising flour and dairy free soft spread. Beat the spread and sugar until light and fluffy, mix in a teaspoon of vanilla essence. Beat the eggs and add in bit by bit, adding a little flour if needed to prevent splitting. Once all of the egg has been added, add in the flour and stir until just mixed together. If the mixture is a little stiff, add a splash of dairy free milk. Stir in chocolate drops – no measure needed, just add until it looks like a good ratio! Spoon into paper cases and bake at 180C for 15-20 mins. Leave to cool completely. To make icing sieve 2 tbsp of icing sugar and 2 tsp of cocoa powder. Add water a little at a time to make a smooth and spreadable icing. Ice cakes and enjoy.
Chocolate cornflake cakes – melt together 4oz of dairy free butter substitute and 4 tbsp of golden syrup. Sieve in 4oz icing sugar and 4 tbsp of cocoa powder. Stir until well mixed and glossy and then stir in 4oz of cornflakes or rice crispies. Spoon into paper cases and allow to set.

Brief Description: The book cover for the book I made for the mini book swap used a load of fabric scraps, one side was regular squares and the other was crazy patchwork (This cover was also remade 3 times, as the first one was the wrong size and the second I really didn’t like, so third time was the charm!)

Project Name & Page Link: Trick Wands
Brief Description: In the book I made for the mini book swap, there was a page hiding an even smaller book, so there was a hidden element to the book. There was also a trick to the page itself, in that I had to be careful not to make it so heavy that it damaged the book once put together. I used two sheets of card stock for the front, with a hole cut out, and back, and then created a internal frame of corrugated card, both around the edge and around the “hole” for the tiny book. Once covered and decorated, it created a strong, but light weight page.
