Blogtoberfest Day 13: My Creative Space


A late entry today so maybe I'll just blog about what I did do today. 

Spent my day at Frankie & Swiss just general helping out and I also made a couple of metres of bunting, a bag for Michelle, 30 or so bunting flags out of vintage sheets and ooshka babushka (just a quiet day of sewing!).

I went along to the Gocco session at Southside Brown Owls tonight and printed up a heap of cute little bags, cards and envelopes using a very cute picture from the lovely Jess as seen above. I won't share any more pictures of them on this post because there is a ton and I think they deserve their own post.

I am now of for a well deserved sleep before a road trip to my aunty and uncle's tomorrow as my cousin is getting married on Saturday. 
Get ready for some pictures of a country wedding!

Blogtoberfest Day 10: Donna Hayes Macarons

This afternoon I tried out Donna Hayes new Almond Macaron with chocolate filling packet mix.


It was easy to make up and instructions were easy to follow.



May have made the biscuits a little big, although I followed the instructions. 
Will use a teaspoon instead of tablespoon next time.



Yummmmmm


The finished project!


I found these quite easy to make.
I know I always found the thought of making macarons a bit scary so the fact that these were so easy to make will probably convince me to make the real things and hopefully you too!



Ps. Not a sponsored post, just what I've been cooking today!
