Moth Fab

This is my friend Moth Fab and she has been feeling a little flat and colourless too.

So I thought I would cheer her up with a nice cake from an old cook book I recently found.

As I turned to the cake page and old envelope fell out with a recipe on it!blog matter 007
Well I thought, must try this!
Remember my little man Twinkie I caught in a mason jar? Well, he is missing a hair as we speak!
3 Mwah's. mmm, all I had were these dehydrated ones..........blog matter 009
However, they plumped up nicely after a good soaking!

1oz of Passion, that's a challenge. I looked everywhere and then found this couple, weblog matter 011
I thought they looked pretty passionate!
Now for 2 tbsps of heart, luckily I had just been to my local supermarket and had one! blog matter 013
So after simmering and sieving I gave some to Moth -

She soon got her colour back!

So off I went for a cup of tea, but when I got back to the craft room Twinkie had escaped as I had left the lid off the jar, and the pair of them had taken up residence in my art journal, and made a right mess of the page. He won't give me my stamp pad back either!

Ah well, at least they look happy!

I'm going to have to work on how I present photo's and text and take better photographs!

Never mind, hopefully I will soon get the hang of it!

  5. Hello Barb

    Fab story ~ I love the idea of dehydrated mwahs ~ there's nothing wrong with a good soaking (saves space)! Do you think we could use them at work? We could give them out in little muslin bags ~ lol!
