New Blog

I have made a new blog which will be similar to this one and I think I will basically be replacing this one with it, so here it is; www.amberly-rose.blogspot.com 

Enjoy!

Gloria The Mouse.

Today I spent my whole day making this cute little mouse.

I got the pattern from a magazine - 'Mollie Makes' and had great fun all day making the mouse and the dress for her. - I also got to avoid doing any homework which is always a plus!

I love my best friend. Not only because she's the kindest, most understanding and hilarious person I have EVER met, but also she speaks the language I admire most in the world, SPANISH. I am lucky enough to be going to Spain in just over a week and I am SO EXCITED! :') My best friend is also kind enough to teach me Spanish! and I can tell you, that takes A LOT of patience!
We've been through so much together and she never leaves my side. She will always stay my friend and stand up for me no matter what I do. That has especially been shown these past couple of weeks, no matter what happens no one will come between us! I really truly love this amazing girl, and i'm SO proud I can call her my best friend. <3

Roast Squash and Sweet Potato Soup with Buttermilk and Blue Cheese Swirl

 

Tonight I made Roast Squash and Sweet Potato Soup with Buttermilk and Blue Cheese Swirl. I used Nigella's recepie from her christmas cookery book. Last night I was watching Nigella's Christmas Kitchen - as I do every year! - and was inspired to make her delicious soup, and I must say, It was delicious! I served it with brown  seeded bread - aswell as the cheese sauce.

The actual soup didn't have too much flavour to it however added with the cheese sauce was completly different. The soup and the sauce complimented eachother beautifully and it was overall a fantastic dish!

Apple Pie :)

I made this apple pie a while ago but forgot to put it on... so I am now.

I had it with double pouring cream, it was delicious!

Sugar cookies!

Today I got in from a long, tiring day and decided I wanted sugar cookies.  They're so much fun to make and really easy! I used the recipe in the 'Hummingbird Bakery Book' but doubled. -- I usually double recipes for cupcakes and cookies etc because anyone that walks in the door eats them.  Then before I know it, they're all gone, and there's none left for me.  So this way there's enough to share! The icing is also from the 'Hummingbird Bakery Book', it's lemon Royal icing.

Best of all, they're really yummy!

Lunch :)

I was about to eat lunch and I decided I was quite pleased with it so I took a picture to capture the moment... as I like to do with food.
