the one where I have something to show you

 

On the off chance that I may have another hospital visit

I went on the search for a Summer dressing gown.

The stores in my parts are very limited so I was out of luck

and decided to make my own from my stash of vintage sheets.

 

A tiny pom pom trim was added for a little zing

and nice big pockets.

 

It is so lovely and soft and worn.

 

It's almost as beautiful as my daughter who is modelling it for me.

Again I have been missing .

Everyone but me has had the flu .

My daughter has been off school for three weeks.

My very elderly in laws (who live next door) have had hospital stays

and have needed a little extra care .

My husband has man flu .

I'm back with the real world this week

and have even managed some extra cooking .

These muffins are so delicious and easy but I wish I

had of known about Caramel Bits earlier .

Here's the recipe ~  Whisk together ~2 cups S/R flour , 2/3 cup caster sugar

100g melted butter , 1 egg , 1 cup of milk , 1 tsp vanilla

and 1 cup of chocolate bits but I'll be making mine with caramel bits.

Spoon into muffin tin and bake at 180c for about 20 minutes.

Make 12 very , very yummy muffins .

I had to make a trip away from my little town the other day

so I took the chance to pop into Spotlight .

I had sick kids in the car , the shop was about to close

but I needed to be in amoung some craft !

With seconds to spare I decided on some charm squares

to make myself a quilt .

What a shame I can't quilt .

How are your family ?

Have they had this terrible flu ?

Does the male in your house get man flu?
