Reindeer poop {recipe}
Ok, so most people might know these as yum yum balls, rum balls or even truffles. At Fangorn farm we call the reindeer poop. Some cheeky children even roll them into turd-like shapes for that extra giggle factor [eye-roll]. These are really easy and quick to make, especially if you have a food processor/blender to […]
Christmas Cake
I posted this recipe last year, but because we just cut into one of the cakes today, and it was so moist and sweet and rich and damn delicious, I decided to post the recipe again! I made this cake a few months before Christmas. My mum says fruit cakes are always better after a […]
30 weeks
I’m finding it hard to believe I’m at this point already, but here I am. 30 weeks. This pregnancy – this year in fact – is going so very very quickly! I am well. I feel great actually, except for a case of fatigue. I’m so tired. My body feels heavy and by the end […]
Happy new year!

Usually I like to make them in the spring school holidays but I am going to blame the fatigue and sickness associated with my pregnancy for my Christmas cake making delay. I made two cakes […]
Handmade Christmas
Four weeks until Christmas! A few months ago, I decided to make a lot of our Christmas gifts this year. The decision came about because I am tired of plastic toys and junk that accumulates in our house. I’ve done so much sorting and purging that I dare not add to the plastic fray under […]
Five years ago…
The other day I found this Christmas letter from 2007. Five years ago we were getting ready to leave Adelaide and make our adventurous and courageous move to Tasmania. I like looking back and thinking about the things that have changed for us over the past five years. I can’t remember what it was like […]
Fabric Friday: Christmas!
I have made some Santa sacks for Monte and me. I’m pretty sure that Monte has been a good boy and that Santa will be coming to him this year. I am *hopeful* that he will be coming to me too. I made some sacks with some red, weird elasticky fabric and trimmed them with […]
