Hi Everyone
I hope you are having a lovely relaxing Sunday.
I feel I have spent far too much of mine in the kitchen :-(
The request for today was a home made steak and kidney pie with a puff pastry topping .. .. I seem to have been working on it nearly all day as the meat and shallots have been slow cooking in the oven .. .. and how long will it take to eat!?! Minutes!!! and then there is the clearing up again afterwards.
I don't mind putting the extra effort in on a Sunday because I do "wing it" a bit during the week .. .. but today feels a little above and beyond the call of duty LOL!!
But the day started off much more exciting .. .. I played with my snippet ready for taking over and sharing in Pixies Crafty Snippet Challenge. The playground is definitely getting busier with lots of lovely new playmates appearing.
Here is my share for this week:
As always I am lazy on a Sunday and don't list my ingredients (because I am chained to the oven and kitchen sink LOL!!!) but just ask if there is anything you want to know about my creation.
Enjoy the rest of your day and I hope the week ahead holds some crafty time for you.
Love

Hi Jules, long time no see lol. I love this card, it looks like Pink Petticoat? Its simple but so very effective. Hope the steak & kidney pie went down a treat. x
Really lovely card, well done your for making your own pie. Had a competition match today and it went well, just really tired. Have a great week.
Hi Jules,
Love this fabulous girlie card! I'd rather be doing what she's been doing than making steak and kidney pie, lol!

Hi Jules, just stopping by while waiting for the chicken curry to cook. Couldn't help but chuckle at your tale of the length of time to make the steak and kidney pie...we've all been there with dishes that seem to take forever and a day to make and they're gone in minutes. I'm sure hubby appreciated the effort.
Love the card. Looks like some Pink Petticoat has been used.
Lovely that you're so busy with wedding commissions.
Love & Hugs,
Pauline xx
Hi Jules.
WOW! this card is fantastic. I love the way you have coloured the bag to co-ordinate with the background papers. You are very clever. BUT now you have made me want to spend my money on lovely PP images! Naughty!
I have finally posted the runner bean chutney recipe - sorry for the delay!
Hope you have a lovely week and no more tree climbing or I will squeal to your mum! LOL xx
I love your card Jules, such a lovely image and the sentiment is great and how true, fab design too, Kate x
Wonderful card Jules. I love the image and the way you have matched the papers to her shopping back looks fabulous.
hugs Sue xx
Oh a lovely card Jules so simple and elegant

Gorgeous card, Jules! I so love this sassy image, with her flirty dress! and the sentiment - how true!! I know I've spent a bit too much (time wise of course!) in our local big chain multi-craft shop.
oh one of my Dad's favourite pies, I'm sure it will be well worth the effort! who knows, perhaps once you do it a few times, it will become quicker! I know when I try something new it takes ages at first, but times after it gets easier/quicker!
Good Luck xoxo
Brilliant, absolute brilliant, love everything about this stunning card.
Really like the sentiment
Have a fantastic day
