Food Fight Friday - What...No Dessert!

Today I'm keeping it sweet free...
But still Delish!

Roasted Red Pepper Dip
with Crunchy Tortilla Chips

It also doesn't get easier...

All you need is 1 Jar of ChickPeas
1 Jar of Roasted Red Peppers and Garlic
a splash of olive oil
and a dash of Lemon Juice

Rinse your chickpeas quickly
Add all together in a processor
And blend until smooth.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Done!

Next I cut up some soft taco tortilla's
and deep fried them.
You could crisp them up in the oven
But I was lazy
and figured the chickpeas where healthy enough!
Enjoy

Woodchuck Wednesday - When Art meets Wood!

I would flog myself for calling the following Genius
a woodchuck!
He is a True Master and Artist!

Since setting up my little wood shop I've been thinking, sketching
brainstorming and generally doodling, some ideas to create.
I came across the fascination of Automata quite some time ago,
But only recently began exploring it further.

I've always loved whimsy and theatrics
So to combine it as an art form...makes my heart SING!

So today I introduce you to the amazing Art of

Steve Armstrong

To view more of his works please visit
the Heike Pickett Gallery

and to really see him and his Art in action...
Check out this 3 part series on YouTube!

Compared to Mr. Armstrong
I'm a woodchuck with my tail between my legs!

Tutorial Tuesday - Spring in a Can!

Oh I just love these...

Saturday Shopping

Today Saturday Shop is a wee different...
In that I haven't got anything new in The Shop

I was heaps busy last week getting ready for a show,
getting a New Studio Space set up,
along with organizing my home one...
And producing items that are more adult oriented.
Whew..it's a bit busy!

So here's a few pics from the Networking Show
and 2 Items that I made for my Spring
European Street Team Swap partner.

LACE Lunch and Networking Show

Two little gifts for a special Crafter.

There are some amazing artists in Europe.
Being part of the Team is such an honor,
I Hope my Partner likes her Goodies?!
(hint hint...They're just a taste
of what's to come in the new 'BIG' Kids collections!)

Happy Saturday...

For more actual shopping
head over to Zsazsazsu's
and AnneMarie's Breiblog

Food Fight Friday - Lemon Lust!

OMG...I'm in LOVE!

We found some good ol' English Lemon curd
in the shops recently.
I used to eat it by the spoonful..
couldn't wait for all that fussing of spreading it on toast!

So with 2 bags of Lemons squeezed and 1 to go...
I couldn't help myself.

I found this fantastic Vid. on YouTube from Joy of Baking!
Talk about Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Scones, Tarts, Toast...
Look out!

and for something a little more
Ahem...Healthy!
We're Heading over to Denise at Run DMT
for Chicken and Waffles!
YUMMMMMMMMMM!
Now that's Top Slinger material!
BTW...Denise also hosts a Friday Food Fight...
Sling here...There...and everywhere!
