WOYWW the saturday edition


 
Hi Peeps
well in case you didn't know  there was a WOYWW crop at the weekend..... sorry..... you  have  probably read enough  about it already, so I will keep it brief.
It was a brilliant day full of fun, food, laughter, chat and great friends, oh and we did a bit of crafting as well. 3 cheers for JULIA     and LLJ   LUNCH LADY JAN   who organised it all.
 
We also swapped ATC's for the 4th anniversary; here is my bunch aren't they brilliant?
thank you everyone.
 
 
 
I made a gelli plate thanks to  shaz in oz.  who posted a recipe last week
 
 
 
It was really easy and cheap to make
 
 
 
 I printed quite a few papers this is one of my favourites.
 
We all had  a goodie bag to take home, complete with  a lovely fabric tissue holder made by LLJ  (now kept in my handbag)  and a......  button challenge.......
 
 
The biggest challenge was to not eat them before I got home.... Opps ! I failed that one hehe
 
 
 Finally here is  this Wednesday's  desk.
I am decopatch-ing a picture frame for a display at work, well someone has to do it  :)

 I will try and visit everyone who comments this week, sorry if I didn't get to everyone last week it was very busy.
Janet
PS sorry I forgot the cake recipe I will do it next week :)
many of you wanted the  recipe NOW so here it is


Angel Food Cake

4 oz plain flour

13 oz castor sugar

12 egg whites

1 ½ teaspoon cream of tartare

3-4 drops vanilla and almond ess.

½ teaspoon  salt

You will need an Angel food cake pan or a large non stick tin with a whole in the middle (savarin tin).

Sift flour and half the sugar 3 times onto greaseproof paper and set aside.

Whisk the egg whites, salt and C of T until thick.... like meringue.

Add the essence and the rest of the sugar a tbl spoon at a time until it forms stiff peaks.

Carefully FOLD in the flour and sugar... I use a large balloon whisk (slowly fold .. do not whisk), pour into the tin and bake in a preheated oven gas 5 for 35-40 mins.

When cooked turn the tin upside down with a bottle in the central hole. Leave until completely cold.

Serve with cream/ fruit / fresh lemon curd or chocolate.

ENJOY!

  1. That sounds like a fun day and how fantastic for you all to meet up to create! Brilliant ;D
    By the way I'd have failed miserably with the button challenge too...probably before I'd left the building.
    ATC's and Gelli plate looks fantastic.
    Your desk looks a busy one but such fun to come! Enjoy! x

  4. It sounds like it was a great day of fun and friendship on Saturday. So glad you all had a great day.
    Thanks so much for the gorgeous ATC...life has just got in my way and I haven't managed to email all my friends who have sent mine to me [Sorry]. I love them all and the fact that they were sent by friends I haven't met [as yet].
    Hugs,

  5. So many thank you's to say today, Janet but a lot of them go to you.
    Firstly, thank you so much for the lovely yarns you bought for me...my next crochet attempt is a ripple blanket, so I shall be using them with other bright colours already in my stash. I just appreciate your thoughtfulness in bringing them...also for the beautiful scissors keeper, it's exquisite and I shall treasure it.
    Ooh, also for the Angel Cake...mmmmm.....food for the Gods, indeed. Your homemade lemon curd was LUSH!
    Julia and I have pencilled in a trip to Winchester next Monday as it is one of the few days that our diaries have allowed us to meet up! So, if you're in work, we'll be invading you(and bringing your tape whatsit back as well!)
    Hugs and thanks for everything once again,
    LLJ 36 xxxx

  6. This explains why I have one more left than I should - you don't seem to have one from me - could have sworn I gave one to you - can you email me your addy and I'll put it in the post? (helenlindfield@hotmail.co.uk) Sorreeeeeeee.

    Wasn't it fun though? Yes the Angel Food Cake was gorgeous... Helen, 5

  8. I love your gelli printing - it's great fun isn't it - and I'm very impressed you made your own plate. That frame is going to look fab when it's finished - I keep hearing about decopatching but am still not sure what it's all about - can I afford to discover a 'new' craft?!!! Have a great week.

  9. Oh what fab little ATCs - we are so lucky to have such clever crafty blog buddies. I am just deciding how to display mine. Your gelli printing is fab - will have to find out how to do it - would it work on fabric do you think? x Jo #49

  10. our gelli printing is fabulous and now I have to look at how you created it. Trust Shaz to come up with a way of doing it without having to buy, buy, buy. Love your collection of atc's.

  16. That must have been SUCH a fun time! Of course the chocolate didn't make it home fully intact, nothing wrong with that. :-)

    Happy Woyww,
