The best Apple crumble..

Rose and I baked some Anzac biscuits this morning. 

It was a case of too many cooks. 

We forgot to add the sugar!

Even with the golden syrup they were awful, to say the least.

Rather than throw them to the chooks I thought I'd try to save them.

I crushed up the biscuits and mixed in some brown sugar and sprinkled the mixture over a jar of pie apples. 

Back in the oven it all went.

The result was the best Apple crumble ever.

We've had a wonderful week here.

The highlight was the school sports day.

Go Red!!

Blue and Red tied for the cup and Yellow scored the spirit cup so every team was a winner!

The weather was perfect, the fans well behaved.

The sportsmanship beyond reproach.

I've not had much time for crafting.

I spent the week cooking, socialising and eating.

These were a big hit with the kids.

I've baked them twice as they disappear quick. 

Michael pushes a chair and steals them off the bench when I'm distracted.

The recipe is from Best Recipes -

Fairy Biscuits.

Another winner were the Rock cakes:

I believe it's as important to give as to take.

So I make the effort to leave a review and thank the author for putting the time and effort into sharing with me. 

A simple thank you can mean as much as a bunch of flowers.

Another Imke..

I'm a bit obsessed with sewing these easy tops.

This is the fifth one I've sewn!

This one I left the hood off and finished the neckline with a ribbing.

The fabric was another Op-Shop find. I've had it in the stash for a long time.

it looks very 80's to me with those fluro monsters on surfboards.

I hope Michael doesn't get nightmares about them.

There's 1/2 meter left. I may use the remains as hoods on Imkes for the bigger boys.

I love the Imke pattern so easy and so adaptable.

This little plant will grow...

Lilly was presented with a plant and poem at the school assembly. 

 The poem she was given with the plant...

This plant will grow

just like me

A sign of God's creation

For all to see

The wonder of our growth

All will share

As we are tended

With love and care

Lilly and Pete planted her special plant into the garden this morning.

Lilly is wearing her Imke, made by the very talented Sara at Willow and Moo.

I was lucky to beat all the other Mama's to the launch of her store at 

The Crafty Mama' Market Place.

Rainbow Dino pants and another Imke

Michael was rather excited about his new Dino pants.
I made them to match the jacket I made him.

I made Rose an Imke.
I added some ribbon to the tail of the hood.
The hood is lined and sleeves bound with velour.

Michael is a very co-operative model.
A bit of a poser really.
Whenever the camera comes out he puts on the charm.
