...Lemon Meringue Pie

Look at our special Easter dessert! Yum, right?!

My sister requested that I made a Lemon Meringue Pie for dessert. I'd never made it before, therefore wanted to ensure that I made it as wonderfully as possible, especially as it was a request. Plus, I have had a fair few slices of LMP in my time and have pretty high expectations so I made sure I made the best possible version.

Well, believe it or not, I actually didn't get to try it! Oh no!

The recipe required you to make the base, curd and meringue from scratch. A lot of 'Chill for 2 hours' and 'refrigerate covered overnight' was going on so I'm pretty glad I started on Easter Saturday!

Here are some pics of the process!

*so-I'd never heard of blind baking before...I have always noticed those beads at The General Trader and had no idea what they were for and upon reading about them I see how they could be useful!
Fortunately, it's possible to use plain rice to blind bake soI layered the prepared base with foil, then filled it with the white rice. I then folded over the foil and popped it in the oven for 15 minutes.
Really easy!!

Like I said, I didn't really get to taste it as I was so full from an enormous and delicious roast dinner, but  my husband and sister said it was delicious, Phew!!

Happy Easter everyone!!

...Ava's Easter Tunic

I came across this adorable tutorial at Craftiness is not Optional (where I happen to get all of my girls dress patterns now...) and I thought it would be adorable to make for Ava for Easter!

...Copycat Geometric Leafy Print

Ok, so I'm a complete copycat! I  have been inspired by these two wonderful posts here and here and decided to have a go myself!

Petal Onesie Tutorial

I've been away at a wedding all weekend so haven't managed to keep up my challenge to the full extent I would have liked! Bummer!! Oh well, I've still been creative thorough it all, thank goodness, I've just been without my craft supplies and sewing machine!

Seeing as I was having withdrawals, as soon as I got home I got straight into this gorgeous little project!

...Metallic Marker Fun!!

I've seen heaps of Sharpie projects on Pinterest of late and have always wanted to give them a go.

They are so quick and easy, and if you happen to have the right markers lying around, plus a few old mugs and bowls, why not have a go at jazzing up some old and unloved pieces!

...Personalised Etched Drinking Glasses

I'm in the middle of a few different projects at the moment-hence the lack of posts for awhile!
