Back in September I posted a teaser about some of the Christmas gifts I was making…
The cardboard was for stiffening the covers
of the mini recipe books
containing my favourite ‘Magic Pudding’ recipes
[here and here and here and here]
which I gave as Christmas presents to various friends and family members.
Some of the mini books went into baking dishes
[along with an apron, oven glove, or potholder] I hope they enjoy baking warm comfort food on cold wintry days!
The recipes came, in one way or another, via the internet – which makes them iPuds, I guess. The motif on the front of the mini-book was created using one of the built-in designs on my Janome Embroidery machine [I changed the colours and added simple text] I have already had some lovely thank-you notes from the recipients. The inner pages of each book simply needed one sheet of A4, printed on both sides, cut into three, folded and stitched together.
Well, I shall treasure the one you so kindly sent me. I'm going to make one of the delicious puddings soon (and ignore the , um, slight weight gain from Christmas!)
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous! You're so clever.
ReplyDeleteRe your questions: Blackpool - not sure yet, but would be nice
Northampton - Yes! (Reminds me I need to pay up and make sure it's written on my calendar!!)
What a clever idea. They look really lovely. I'm sure the recipients were thrilled. Well done.
