The Hard Task Master

Oh Handmade Monday you hard task master.

As Sunday drew to a close I realised that I would have no choice but to rush down to the studio on Monday morning and finish something /anything. Did I do it?  Did I 'eck!

It has been a lovely dry week, so at all opportunities I have snuck out into the garden.  I have made myself a new potato patch, and whilst I did it all myself, I don't think I can include that in Handmade Monday.
Could that really be the studio?

On Friday my 4 year old broke up from school and came home to tell me all about the crucifixion.  This is where Jesus was crucified between two Robs, and how after 3 days he came back to life, but her guinea pig didn't and could I please show her how to make hot cross buns. (I'm not sure if she drew breath in the sentence or not!)

I had a quick look in my recipe book, but realised that hot cross buns fall into breads - which take them beyond my skill level.  So the good old Internet came to the rescue.  I put in 'bread maker hot cross bun receipe' and hey presto Delia herself appeared before me.
Our Hot Cross Buns - Honest!

Although it did turn into be a five hour event, I can recommend the recipe and the Mother-Daughter bonding time.

As to Handmade Monday I think you better check out all the other participants!
