Recipease...

♥ Ceri makes... enjoyed a long bank holiday weekend in Brighton. Despite a lack of sunshine along with the hen group I was with we made the most of taking shelter in the quirky cafes, our favorites being Tic Toc and Marwood.


We finished our action packed weekend (...quad biking, shooting, archery, dancing, beach exploring) with a trip to Jamie Oliver's Recipease for a quick course in fesh filled pasta making. Our lovely instructor Lucy guided us through the simple pasta recipe using the super easy to remember 100g flour to 1 medium egg ratio. Once we had mixed, kneaded, rested our dough and put it through the imperia pasta machine we were ready to get filling with our simple but delicious pea, ricotta, mint and parmesan filling. Lucy showed us a few clever tricks to make different shapes and then showed us how to make a butter, mint and lemon sauce to complement the finished pasta. The results were fab...

A crafty royal knees up...

♥ Ceri makes...  after a lovely day spent soaking up the royal wedding atmosphere in Hyde Park I headed to the V&A for a spot of crafty celebration!  As part of the Friday night lates that the museum hosts monthly they had jumped aboard the royal wedding excitement with a fantastic programme of events and had decorated the museum to suit the mood...

The fantastic programme of events included talks from leading vintage specialists William Banks-Blaney and Jane Bourvis,  a catwalk event judged by the designer Louise Gray among others,  cake from Lily Vanilli,  live music and a number of workshops  ...action packed!  I opted for the printed handkerchief workshop...

Such a simple crafty thing to make!  A beautiful range of stamps to choose from to create a very personalised memory for the day.  I decided to keep it simple and was super pleased with the finishing results...
