Ruffle back dress - Pattern by FooFoo Threads

This was my first attempt at shirring.  I have always avoided it as it looks so difficult.  

Well I here to tell you it is easy as.

Back ruffles - I added an extra one.

Front is pretty with ruffle on bodice

And of course a matching headband

Lovely Isobel modeled it for me

Isobel loved it so much her mother had to wash the dress

 every evening for 3 nights so Isobel could wear it the next day

Yummy Quinoa Bakes

I have lots of food intolerance's and I work on the road.  So getting something for lunch some days is quite a challenge.

 I made these the other day and they are perfect.  

The base recipe is 1 and 1/2 cups of Quinoa rinsed and cooked

And 6 eggs.

To this you add what ever you like

Spray your muffin pan, add mix and cook in 180 degree oven.

Here are some variations I have made.

Chicken, sundried tomatoes, capsicum, olives, onion, zucchini, goats cheese rolled in ash and basil.

Sling Bags and other things

It has been ages since I posted...other than the giveaway info. I wanted to keep the giveaway info at the top and I've been very tired and not up to much.  But,  I had my gorgeous family from Melbourne stay with me.

My son Chris, my daughter in law Kylie and little Miss Maddie

I made this cute little vintage style dress for Maddie

I think she looks gorgeous in it.
