Cakes & Crochet

for the last week i have mainly been crocheting and baking, and here is a sneak peek, I made this delicious lemon drizzle cake for my crafty night tonight with all the generations coming over, mum, aunty, nan and cousin... here is the recipe, give it a go its easy peasy lemon squeezy 


I also ordered a new crochet book "Granny Squares: 20 Crochet projects...." by Susan Pinner as i was getting bored with the standard granny squares, so many lovely patterns, check out my first attempt below...
