I recently brought myself a cute little apron from a local shop and I love it – but when it dies I want want of these!! Snappyshot hails from Southern California and has been sewing for over 24 years. Her designs are retro 1950′s, cute and full of fun. Snappyshop’s Etsy store has a vast array of funky little aprons to choose form. She says:
Some of my favorite images are from old advertising illustrations from the fifties and sixties. I especially love anthropomorphic characters, and am currently working on some simple happy kitchen items for lower priced aprons. I like the idea of wearing your apron out, but so far I’ve only worn them when I throw a party. I like to make my apron part of my outfit and wear it during the whole party.
Most of the items in the store are made to order. This apron pictured sells for US$47.00 – get in whilst the Aussie dollar is good.
I had an urge to do some baking this weekend just gone, and cookies were calling. These little babies are my mum’s chockie rocks recipe. They are basically a choc chip cornflake cookie and one of my favs as a kid.
RECIPE
250g butter
1 cup castor sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups S/R flour
1 pt dark chocolate bit pieces
4 cups crushed corn flakes (An extra 2 cups for rolling)
Preheat oven to 180C
Cream butter and sugar, fold in eggs and vanilla till light and fluffy.
Fold in flour and choc bits until well combined. Add 2 cups of crushed cornflakes mix until combined.
Roll dough into golf ball sized pieces and roll in a crushed cornflakes to finish.
Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool on a rack and enjoy!
I hate dishes – so i cant wait to see this one coming from my local pizza place. It’s not so much the plates that impress me; but rather the convertible fridgable storage container!
