Fab Fabric Hangers!


So my latest project is these super cute fabric hangers.

I must admit, not completely my idea, as I've seen similar on etsy. But I thought it is a great way to do something with the fabric that I absolutly love and don't want to use! - which by the way, I have a huge stack that I don't touch for that very reason!

So these fab fabric hangers will be added to my next market stall - as I have enough to keep some for me, and some to share!! ( or available online at www.facebook.com/houseofnicnax )

Potatoes!!!

I have potato plants!!!
 
And I am very excited that I have these growing! WHY? Because I love (and I mean LOVE!!!) potatoes! Potato salad, potato bake, mashed, stuffed, roasted.... I love them all. In fact when we go to Sizzler for "all you can eat". I fill my plate with all the potato dishes! I did that last time without even realising that is what I've done!
So the fact that I will soon have my very own home-grown potatoes excites me more than you can imagine!!

Market day!

Well I had an absolutely awesome day at the Wellard Village Market yesterday!
I love the market atmosphere. Music playing, the creative things for sale, the smell of food, the buzz of people chatting away! And all the wonderful things people had to say about what I made!
And it really was a bit of a family event for me, with both mum and dad adding to the stall with their creations! Mum made a batch of button bracelets and hair clips, and dad made some bird feeders!
It was such a great day! Can't wait for next month now, so we can do it all again!!!

"I'm hungry...."

Soooo sick of hearing 'muuuum.... I'm hungry...' Yes I understand its nearing the end of the the food shopping week, but I'm sure we can scrounge up something good to eat! .... Well maybe not....
So out with the old trustworthy 'scone like dough' recipe for a family favourite...cheesy vegemite rolls!!! Here's the recipe

3 cups self raising flour
Pinch of salt
50 grams butter
375ml milk

Kneed all together to form a dough. Then roll out flat. Spread a layer of vegemite and then cheese.
Roll up dough to make a log. Cut into pieces and top with cheese.
Bake for 10 mins.
The softer the better!!! Yum!!

I also made another batch and used it as mini pizza bases!

No more hungry bellies!!!
