I don't do baking, other than that banana bread recently, so, with a bit of wishful thinking and a super special, and thankfully helpful friend, I jotted down the recipe for chocolate flapjacks, (having sampled many at the weekend), and dashed off to get supplies, including a baking tin, (oh I know, say nothing!).
Obviously we had to sample some, to make sure the Cubs were going to be OK, and I have been told by the girls to make more tomorrow, and that they want flapjack instead of cake for their birthday... in November! Success then.
More in-keeping with the me you have come to know and love, a delivery from Pink Castle's 30% off skinny bolt sale last week; 2yrs of AMH voile and some Liberty Lifestyle...
And I have managed to crack on a little with my Super Tote...
I have got to the stage of basting the elasticated pockets to the lining, so fingers crossed it will be a June 1st finish.
Finally, dear son got dropped off at camp, complete with flapjacks, and it looks like they are going to have a great time...
So that'll be May then; finishing on a high in both temperature and spirit. See you in June xxx
Thank goodness for friends that can bake and give you recipes. You obviously have the latent baking gene! Love your super tote in your fabrics. Di x
ReplyDeleteYum, they look good, and you've been busy again :o)
ReplyDeleteThink I would like chocolate flapjacks for my birthday, too ;-) !
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you don't bake. Don't know why...just surprised.
ReplyDeleteOh and loving the Super Tote...I am thinking I may need to buy that pattern.
Mmmm chocolate flapjacks. Loving that supertote! Wonder if I have time for making one before the retreat - could be useful!
ReplyDeletehave you tried the microwave flapjacks? very quick and very yummy, and i used a tupperware bowl, so not even a baking tin in sight! the bag is looking fab
ReplyDeleteYou may have found a hidden talent- no, not shopping!
ReplyDeleteOh my that tote is looking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCub camp, I remember it well. SO glad I don't lead anymore! *g*
ReplyDeleteOh real tents and everything. I bet your flapjacks will be a big hit. Loving the progress on the tote Hadley!
ReplyDeleteYou sound about like me with baking, although I do have the tins!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your super tote
ReplyDeleteThat tote looks fab - it's so clever how you've managed to get it to match and everyfin' :-)
ReplyDeleteSo funny, that it just the sort of thing I do not noticing, not notice something major! Love the tote, especially the pink handles.
ReplyDeletethey are going to have a LOT of baked goods. I thought it was meant to be all baked beans and burned pork sausages at camp. Colour me disappointed ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have to make birthday cake this week so I may have to check out that recipe. Otherwise, love how that tote is looking :-)
ReplyDeleteI can see they are out in the wilderness there! ;) He'll have an amazing time. Chocolate flapjack, AMH and a lovely project - life looks good from here!
ReplyDeleteMust remember to put that on the kit list for the next camp that I run! Loving the tote, great fabric choice :D
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat flapjack! Love the tote and hopefully with all the sunshine we are having the cubs washing shouldn't be too muddy. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat weekend for camping in the sun, flapjacks and sewing. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hope he has a great time in the sun! Glad the flapjacks were nice, I bet you get asked for the recipe when you pick him up!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, he looks thrilled in that last pic - hee hee! Glad to hear they won't starve, and that you won't have to deal with the sugar high of all those small boys :oD
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mum you are!
