Happy New Year and those things called resolutions

Hi everyone,
Tied from last night partying. It got late but that is expected as it was New Years eve. A few early nights for the catch up and then I'll be right for 2012. Feels a little weird to write 2012 but it was all year before I got used to 2011.

So, here we are 2012. Resolutions, too early, too tied, to think about them now. The ones from last year have been almost done. I've made changes to my diet, I've learnt more about the computer and I'm learning more each day. And the gym, is a love hate relationship. Do I love it, it depends on the day. I also do hate it, depends on the day. But I still go, not as often as I should but at least I go.

So, Here is to another year, stay safe, happy and healthy and here is to more posts from runawaywombat.

Vintage inspired aprons

Here is my latest vintage apron on etsy. I love the polka dot print, its simpleness yet its striking look. Pink is just pretty and here is the latest one I made today. Tomorrow is brush roll day and hopefully I'll get some made.

Vintage inspired aprons

Hi everyone,
Just finished my vintage inspired apron. I love all aprons, as you have probably noticed by now. I love cooking and making dishes for my family. An apron is pretty yet a functional item that is need in the kitchen.
Here are the pics, I'm in the process of making more, with lots more brush rolls on the way. I have found my two passions and will continue to offer you new and unique range of these in 2012.

A Merry festive season

Hope everyone is having a happy and safe festive season. Christmas day is over for us downunder and the weather down here was very stormy last night.

A white Christmas is something we never see down here as this is the middle of summer for us, but we did have hail storms yesterday. It seems alot calmer this morning and hopefully the weather will pick up.

Have a happy break. I'm back to the creating mood soon. I'll keep you up to date with my tweets.

Unisex Apron My latest ones

Hi everyone,
Very busy over this period as everyone is but I thought I would just share with you my latest aprons. These are my unisex aprons, that any one could wear. Here are the pictures. Leave a comment let me know what you think.

Raisin and apple mince cakes

Hi everyone, Just thought I would share some cakes I made last night. These are my version of the fruit mince cakes we have at Christmas. This is just a basic biscuit recipe and then I put a quantity of raisins and apple in the food processor and mix it to a pulp. Use a muffin tin and roll out the biscuit dough. Cut to fit the muffin tin . Press lightly in side, add the pulp and cover with another layer of the biscuit dough. Like making a pie. The great thing with these you can add the quantities of apple to raisin that you like. Just a tip, I use the baking paper, so the dough doesn't stick to the tin. Cook for about 20 - 30 minutes 180c oven. Delicious.

Brush rolls The ones I love

Here are some of my brush rolls which I love. Just some pretty pics for you to see.

Homemade pizza

Homemade pizza I love and surprisingly it is quick and easy to make. Use dry yeast and follow the recipe on the pack. Once the yeast dough has risen roll out, put on tomato sauce, a tablespoon or two would be plenty. Smooth out and start adding the topping. Ham, grated cheese, capsicum and anchovies.

The pizza is divided into 3 sections for the taste of the whole family. One third is no sauce, just a layer of grated cheese, ham and grated cheese again. The middle section is sauce, ham and cheese and the third section is sauce, ham, grated cheese, capsicum, anchovies and olives.

It takes about 30 to 40 minutes in the oven 180c depending on the oven. I like my pizza quite cooked. Delicious.
