Few Things I made Lately...

Hi there!
How are you all?
Winter seems not have an end this year...yesterday we got rain and also snow again...
Today was better but...tomorrow...snow and rain again...
So...in this period...I'm feeling a little bit more crafty...LOL!!!
I would love to show you what I made lately...
I needed a new coffee set so I made these coasters and trivet.

I love the way they turned out because I think they are happy!

And so...they are making more happy my kitchen and my coffee break!

Then...I needed something for my oven...a kind of oven cover...
As my kitchen is grey and white and curtains are red...I chose the same colors for fabrics and I made this:

It has the perfect size for cover my oven...

I made rounded borders because I like them more then squared ones...

I like how it looks over my oven...what do you think?

And then...I made this mug rug as a gift for a friend...

Today I made another project but...I'll show you it in a separate post...
So...what are you making lately?
I would love to hear from you!!!
I wish you a nice week!!!!
Love and hugs,
Dany.

For the love of cooking

Hello!!!
How are you today?
Well...I hope you are feeling better than me...
I got up yesterday with...the flu...bleahhhh...
Fever, sore throat and pain everywhere...
So yesterday I spent all the day into my bed...
Today...the fever is gone so...I can stay up...

But...I have to spend all the day inside in the house so...I started with an healthy breakfast...
Banana, apple, almonds and red fruits...mmm...sooo yummy!!!!

Then I decided to give myself an unusual lunch...maple syrup pancakes...
Cause I'm sick...I need some sweetness...LOL!!!!

Aaaanndddd...last bu not least...I made some chocolate muffins...
Well...nothing of particular strange you can think but...I bake them into the microwave!!!!!
Did you ever try this????
In just 6 minutes...you can have glorious muffins!!!!!

This is my recipe for about 6 muffins:

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
30 gr butter
60 gr dark chocolate
75 gr all purpose flour
1 egg
45 ml milk
70 gr sugar

Put in a bowl chopped butter and chocolate  and put them into the microwave for about 30-40 seconds or until they melt...
Then put the egg, milk, butter and chocolate in the blender and mix all together...
Put flour and baking powder in a large bowl and well mix them...
Then add the liquids ingredients to the flour and mix everything well.
Now put your mixture into cups and bake them into the microwave at the highest temperature for about 3 minutes!!!
And...voilà!!!
Your muffins are ready and they taste...awesome!!!!

I wish everyone a nice day!!!!
Love, Dany.

Grandmather's Flower Garden Runner

Hello my Friends!!!!
How are you?
How is your Summer going?
I didn't write so much lately...well...really...I didn't write at all...LOL!!!
So Today I would love to show you what I'm working on...

I'm making a Grandmathe's Flower Garden runner for my kitchen table...
I chose fall colors so I have to finish it before Fall...LOL!!!
I always loved so much this pattern but I know it's a bit tricky...
I'm sewing it all by hand using some plastic templates I bought several years ago...

I have to say that...I love hand sew...I find it so relaxing and I can bring these little hexagons with me everywhere and work on them easily...
In effect lately I didn't sew so much...I needed to start to sew again and this seems  the perfect project!

Few years ago I made myself a kind of portable workstation for hand sew or embroidery and I'm finding it so useful too!

Hope to be able to post my progresses soon!
Does anyone have any idea how to finish this runner?
I mean...I never made  Grandmather's flower garden and I know it's a bit tricky add batting and backing because of the hexagons...
Any help will be soooo appreciated!!!!!
Thanks!!!
Hugs!!!!
Dany

Cooking...

Is everything ok there?
The week end started and this...is a good thing...LOL!!!

About cooking...I have to admit that...I've never be a fan of cookin...ok...I must cook because I must eat but...that's all...
Lately...I discover a bit of joy in cooking things and so...there are some of the things I cooked ...

Little stars of bread with herbs cheese, cherries tomatoes and olives...

Lasagne...

Fresh salad with celery, apples, cheese, pepper and walnuts...

Omelette with ham and tuna sauce rolled and sliced...

And...last but not least...a wonderful strudel with apples, walnuts, pine cones, cinnamon, sugar and amaretti cookies...yummy...

What is your favourite dish to cook?
I wish you all a wonderful week end!!!

Few crates in my kitchen

Hello my Friends!!!!
How are you today?
It's already Wednesday so...we are in the middle of the week...not too far from the week end...LOL!!!

Today I'm proudly showing you what hubby and me made for our kitchen...
As I've already told you...I'm totally wooden crates addicted so...we decided to make a cute little cabinet using 3 crates...

We have had so much fun cleaning and painting our crates...

Making stencil on them...

We added a bottom with wheels...

And then...I've had so much fun filling them with nice things...
The red wooden box contains my selection of tea...the tiny tea pot and the little blue box come directly from England...

I put small jars of jelly and honey...and of course...our favourite pasta...

I've added some details...the cow hanger and the kitchen towel are gifts from my friend Nico...

I made summer coasters last year and...they looks great here...

That's all...

Now...we are making one similar for the bathroom...can't wait to have it!!!!
It's fun to have something so cute with a so low budget!!!
So...what do you think?
Is there something you are crazy about?
I wish you a lovely day!!!!
Hugs, Dany
