I have two new blog posts today!

First is rather lovely (if I do say so myself) recipe for plum muffins here

So, just how exciting was your weekend?

I'm really enjoying catching up on many new blogs. I've finally started to have time to not only blog but to craft as well! I've made A lovely fabric Christmas wreath.

I'm also trying to put together a blog hop for all things Christmas Crafty. I'd love to get posts about recipes, crafts, knitting, cards, gift wrapping or traditions to add to it!
