Cheat's Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle

Cheat's Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle:

As well as a lot of crafting, I love to cook. Unfortunately I sometimes don't have a lot of time to do anything extravagant so this is where I have a few cheat's recipes up my sleeve.

This is a basic thing that anyone can make, take a strawberry jelly and make to manufacturers instructions. I like to add some real strawberries in too. Once set, make a strawberry Angel Delight and put on top. Once this is set, add some crushed digestive biscuits and add a layer of cold custard on the top. Decorate if wish and it's done. Quick, simple but very tasty.

Magnetic

Unfortunately I have come down with a very large illness - magnet fetish fever. I just can't stop wanting to magnetise everything so it all sticks together. I've made big ones, small ones, flowery ones and educational ones but I just can't stop.

Anyone know a good therapist?

Busy busy busy

Keeping very busy designing and making lots of new goodies. Also have been uploading more pictures on my Facebook site http://www.facebook.com/LBACouture trying to keep everyone posted and up to date.

A lot of mixed media pieces are being designed as well as a lot of very affordable trinkets/gifts/etc. This is because I will be attending a lot of craft fairs in schools and I want to make sure that they're pieces that even the children can afford with pocket money.

This week, knits and Christmas

This week...
When I have stopped moping around moaning about the constant rain, I have managed to find time to squeeze some work in as well as some crafting.
I have an inability to stop knitting when I get going which can get rather out of control. This is when the other half steps in and brings me back to reality. It also leads to me not organising things. This is why I have a hamper of wolly thing-a-ma-bobs...
Also, even though we have just crept into May, I have started on my Christmas projects. I fear that I will run out of time. Also, this year we are spending Christmas in France with my sister, her man and his family. (I hope I manage to remember more than one word of French when I get there. ) This means that I will have to make all orders up early and get them finished quick so having some stock in will be a bonus.
Just a little taster of what's in store for this year:


Keep crafty!
