Keeping busy

Today I decided to make some shortbread 
I’ve never made it before and chose a simple recipe 

It doesn’t look as nice as the pretty ones you buy. But it does taste nice 
I may have had a few that broke while I was putting it away lol 



I got a bit bored making little girls. So I changed to boys. 
It’s the same pattern except the legs are one colour and there is no skirt 



I’ve found a pattern for the trauma teddies.
I’ll try making a few of those as well. 

I’ll just keep adding to the pile and when I have enough 
I’ll donate them to the local fire brigade. 

Tomorrow we have the memorial for our friend anne
Saying goodbye is never easy

  2. Love the little boys.
    I've been thinking of making shortbread for ages. I'm afraid I'll eat it all myself! Love the stuff

  3. I made whipped shortbread cookies for Christmas a couple of weeks ago. They're all mysteriously gone now too.

  4. Your comfort dolls are lovely! Trust you to make a squadron of them. Shortbread is a simple recipe, and it's really good. But it vanishes so fast, mysteriously.

  5. Now the little girls will have little boys to annoy them!

    I'm sorry you lost your friend. I've had a number of Australian blog buddies, one of whom died of cancer some years ago. Her blog name was Nollyposh, and I loved her.
