One of the things I worked on during my blogging absence last week was making some more hair pins for Citrus pOp. I’m in love with all of the new stock and am refraining myself from digging into the Citrus pOp box to steal all of the hair pins and hair clips for myself!!!! I especially dig wearing the alligator clips – they are great for holding a decent section of hair and I think they are super cute.
Some of my favs from batch #3:
Mmm…this cheesecake is great. Light (in taste, not fat!) and not too sweet. Delicious end to a Sunday dinner 🙂
(I didn’t bother with the crumble on top for the pictured cheesecake, but have done it before and it is yum.)
Apple Cinnamon Crumble Cheesecake
1 packet buttersnap biscuits
1/2 cup pecans
60g butter, melted
2 tsp gelatine
1/4 cup water
2 x 250g packets cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 Tbs lemon juice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 x 425g can apple pie fruit
1 x 300ml carton thickened cream, whipped.
Process biscuits and nuts until finely crushed. Add butter and mix until just combined. Press two-thirds of the mixture over base of a greased 22cm spring-form tin; reserve remaining crumb mixture. Refrigerate base while preparing filling.
Sprinkle gelatine over water in a small heatproof jug; stand jug in a pan of simmering water. Stir until gelatine is dissolved; cool.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, juice and cinnamon in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in gelatine and apple; fold in whipped cream.
Pour filling over biscuit base in tin; sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over top. Cover; refrigerate overnight. Dust lightly with icing sugar before serving.
I’m back! Last week I took an unplanned leave from the blog. I was having one of those “too much to do, too little time” weeks and decided to leave blogging out of the agenda for a bit.
Good news is that I managed to wipe a lot of jobs off my “to do” list…it isn’t clear (I don’t think it ever will be) but at least it is a little less daunting now!!
Today I managed to get some sewing done and have worked out a new project for a fun tutorial…will be posting it later on this week.
I’ll leave you with a taste of the fabric I have been playing with today – I guess you could say I was feeling a little dotty 😉
SUPPLIES:
Michael Miller, Ta Dot – assorted colours
Citrus pOp has been stocked with beautiful floral necklaces!!
If you are looking for a unique item of jewellery full of colour and style, then these are for you. I get endless adoring comments when I wear mine and love that it can add extra zing to a basic outfit.
Here are a few of my favourites:
All Citrus pOp necklaces are one-of-a-kind, so once they are gone…they are gone!!
I’m having a little PJ sewing obsession at the moment. Last week I made my nephew in Sydney a pair of Slumber Party Jammies for his 4th birthday. I love these for a quick present and make sure I always keep a selection of boy-friendly prints in my stash ready to make a last minute gift. My sister-in-law told me that when he opened it he exclamed, “Look, Mum – Monster Trucks!!” – so cute!
