Similar to the Halloween ones, quite fun making them, I shall have to see what other chocolates are out there, our local co-op is quite limited.

I saw these little sweets in one of the pund shops I was in, and thought I would make them up to see what they looked like.
I have to say I'm quite impressed by how they have turned out. I think my OH thinks I have gone a bit loopy, but then he never has been a big fan of Halloween.
I'm not sure how many to make, I have made 10 so far, but we live at the end of quite a large housing estate, and therefore don't get many kids round.

I got these little bag ideas from a forum I got on, and thought they were quite cute, plus I also found similar ones for sale in the lakeland ltd catalogue, I was quite shocked at the price of them, 6 for £9.99.

These are so easy to make, and plus I must thank my son for the little gem on the front, hope he won't mind if use more!

Wrapped

I have finally wrapped up the sweet bouquet, which I made last week. Lots of sticky tape was used, for some reason it just didn't didn't want to stick, but I'm quite chuffed with the finished look. I have also made a small one using cadburys heros ( I must make more or I will probably eat all the sweets).

Unwrapped

Sorry for the way the photos have been up loaded, still trying to figure the website out, getting there slowly.

I have another 5 Large bouquets to make and 5 small ones to do.

I haven't seen to have done too much over the last few days, although I have made some more reindeer food.
I have been trying out a few new ideas, I think this one, my friends might think I have gone completey loopy. I have used an old baby food Jar and hoping to turn it into a snowman, although could only find a large pink pom pom, not the sort I need for a white snowmans head. Maybe a polystern head would be better.
I ran an idea past my ww leader, for a light snowman soup that I might be able to sell at the ww meeting, she seemed quite interested as she remembers me from last year.
I have also now got in the mini twix's so I can crack on with the pots of gold.

Fairy soup

This is a kind of remake of snowman soup, I think I will have to tweek it a bit more, and also get a better pic.
The fairy soup is made from pink milkshake powder, white chocolate drops and pink marshmallows, with a wand taped to the side.

Gingerbread man decoration

My gingerbread man was a bit of an experiment.
I bought some brown felt at the weekend and found a gingerbread man cutter in the cupboard and just traced round him. I used embrodiery thread for the buttons, eyes, nose and mouth. I decided to put a little muslin pouch of ginger powder inside him, then sewed him up, and also put a bit stuffing in him too.
A bit of a cheeky chappy!
