Christmas Cooking - Slow Cooker Fudge Recipe! DELISH

With the festive season upon us - I have taken some time away from the sewing machines and have started cooking up some yummy treats.

By popular demand I am sharing the most delicious fudge recipe around.
Grab your slow cooker (YES your slow cooker) and get ready to be wowed by fudgy goodness.

Little Moo Slow Cooker Fudge
Ingredients:
1 tin of condensed milk
550 grams of milk chocolate (I used Cadbury)
1 Tablespoon Butter
Flavouring: I used vienna coffee liquer, you could use baileys, mint liquer, rum....anything you like. If you don't like alcohol in your fudge you could use vanilla essence instead.

Heat the slow cooker up to high, put all ingredients in and stir continuously so it doesn't stick to the bottom. They will all melt together into fudgy goodness.




O.M.G. YUM!
 
 
Line a slice tin, pour in half of the mix, sprinkle chopped red frogs, mini marshmallows and spearmint leaves (or any other lollies that you like). Pour the rest of the mixture over the top. Refrigerate for two hours.
 
 


 
It's that simple! You now have delicious fudge.
 
We made ours in Christmas tree shaped moulds for the festive season.
Needless to say these will not make it until Christmas Day as they are seriously delish! Oh well, we can just make more right??
 
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and may 2015 bring you peace, joy and all the happiness you deserve.
 
 
Happy Cooking.

Leather and Fabric Sewing - the Willow Tote Bag Pattern

I am sew excited - tomorrow is the day that my brand spanking new pattern is being released and this one is jam packed with options.

Combining my love of sewing with leather and fabric, I designed the "Willow" Tote Bag PDF Sewing Pattern to use as an everyday bag with style and loads of design options.


And here she is - the "Willow" Tote Bag.....not your average bag.....
 

Why does the Willow stand out from other tote bag patterns on the market you ask?

  • The Willow Tote features leather (Genuine or Faux) as well as fabric. The pattern is jam packed with tips and tricks to help your sewing with leather become a reality.
  • See that zippered welt pocket - there are not one but TWO ways to sew this zip pocket which feature in this pattern so you can try both ways and see which suits you best.
  • Digitised pattern pieces complete with cutting instructions and test scale square.
  • Measurements are provided in both imperial and metric scales.
  • This pattern contains colour photographs and clear step by step instructions to create your own Willow Tote.
  • Last but not least - you will be inspired by the inspiration gallery which features in this pattern showing you various fabric and leather combinations to get your imagination soaring with ideas to create your own Willow Tote.

 



 
As you can see the options are endless with the Willow Tote Pattern. Whether your style is retro, shabby chic, modern, classic, floral or geometric you can customise a Willow to suit your personal style.
 
The Willow Tote will be available on 14/12/2014 from 12 noon (QLD time) via my website. It will be on special for $5 (RRP: $8.50) for the first 24 hours.
 
Happy Sewing
