christening presents

It's me again, and again with the presents I've made :) Seems I only make gifts :D But well, I like it and making things to put them into the drawer or close it in the wardrobe makes no sense :) Anyways, that's the handmade part of the gift I've made for my cousin's little girl. She's so adorable, I can't stop making things for her :D

A simple hat and a sweater.

A crocheted baby bib with a small girrafe. I saw it in a shop and just had to buy it :) Later, I thought it would look nice on this pink and cream bib. What do you think?

And an elephant made according to one of the free patterns from Elephants Favorite Freebies Friday. It's been my first knitted toy (I've only made crocheted ones before), so please, take that into consideration ;)
And that's it for today!

But I have some other gifts to show you. Soon :)

please, accept my apologies... and a free recipe :)

Hello, everyone! Sorry for not being here for so long :( Believe it or not, but I've been busy crafting :D I'll show you the pics later this week, because now it's time for my first recipe. I really hope you'll enjoy it :)

Pizza twists

Ingredients:

275g flour
15g fresh yeast
0,5 cup of mixed water and milk (or can be just water, or just milk...)
0,5 teaspoon salt
0,5 teaspoon sugar
2 table spoons olive oil
1 table spoon basil
1 table spoon oregano
+ any other spices that you like
1 big tomato
several slices of cheese
sweetcorn, ham, sausage or whatever you'd like on your pizza

How-to:

In a bowl, mix flour, fresh yeast, milk and water. Add olive oil, sugar, salt and spices. Knead until the dough is smooth. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set aside in a warm place until the dough gets bigger. In the meantime, put the tomato to the oven and bake it (or make a few holes in it and put it -in a small bowl- to the microwave). Remove the skin and let it cool for a while.
Then, knead the dough once again and shape the dough into a large rectangle.


Spread the tomato onto it and add ham, sweetcorn and cheese.


Roll it gently, so that nothing comes out.


Then, slice it into several about 2-inch pieces.


Put the slices into a baking form of any shape you like.

Cover each piece with a slice of cheese and bake it until it gets brownish.


That's it :)
