Spring runner for the fire
Baking
Fruity Simnel Squares (from the April Good Food magazine). This was very time consuming! (and no, I've not cut it into squares yet!)

Hot Cross Bread and Lemon Pudding from April's Good Food magazine - delicious!

(sideways, but you get the general idea!)
Making
After a blissful trip to Hobbycraft (and lots of money - oops!) I have made Easter cards (no photos yet!), and have plans for Easter presents (including the packaging).
I've also bought bias binding in the right colours for my Spring runner for the fire, and for a Secret Project. I ordered the fabric for the runner from ebay, and the fabric is also ordered for the Secret Project.
So the sewing machine has been dusted off and set up, and I have pinned the fabric for the runner. I am going to have a bath, and then come back and get sewing :)

Life has got rather in the way of making and baking lately, but this week it's all finally calmed down.
Baking
Last night we had a dinner party with some neighbours - we are working our way through different countries and last night's theme was Chinese. My initial reaction was to order food in, then I decided not to. I was responsible for main course, and with the help of Blue Dragon sauces we ended up with sweet and sour chicken, lemon chicken, beef and mushrooms in hoi sin sauce and pork in ginger and spring onion sauce. I also did noodles, boiled and fried rice. And it worked!! Hurrah!! No photos though sorry!
I bought an enormous bag of 15 ripe bananas for 30p in Sainsbury's yesterday, so today is banana baking!
Having asked for suggestions, and raided my cookery book collection and googled for ideas, I ended up with:
banana and date flapjack
banana, ginger and raisin cookies
banana and dark chocolate loaf
Well, that's 7 bananas used!!
Making
I finally feel like I've got time to do some making, so am pondering Easter ideas for home. This has involved pinterest, ebay and google! Sadly it hasn't included a trip to Hobbycraft... but am gathering ideas!
