The school holidays are flying by – hard to believe we are now in the second week! Sarah and I spent an enjoyable morning yesterday in the kitchen and craft room together. I have already shown you my pear muffins. Sarah prefers chocolate over fruit. She was inspired by her cook book “500 Chocolate Delights” and made up some Chocolate Shortbread, which is the perfect accompaniment to Hot Chocolate.
She also made up some Rich Chocolate Syrup which tasted divine on our ice-cream last night. She had fun customising the bottle.
Last term, Sarah did a unit in ceramics at school. Here is her tomato mug.
Hope to have more opportunities for some Mother/Daughter creating over the coming week.
I must say, Sarah, that I prefer chocolate over fruit any day of the week! Love your ceramic mug…you are multi-talented!
I love that tomato mug! I rather fancy having one of those for my tomato soup!
Shortbread and tea is a wonderful combination. Yum. Clever tomato mug. Love how the lid will keep your tea warm.
It all looks delicious, and I love all the Cricut cut outs you are using – I think it’s time to invest in one…
have been enjoying some cooking and sewing time with the kids this holidays………
The colours on that tomato mug are beautifully vibrant. Well done, Sarah.
Hey you girls….What a busy creative pair you are. Love the mug Sarah, well done! Of course, looking at food on your blog makes you want to eat, especially in this cold weather. Yep, the holidays are going too fast! Kind regards, Anita.
I knew I missed out on something at school. Tomato mug ceramics, obviously. LOVING IT!
Oh Sarah can you share that recipe as my son loves shortbread and chocolate so he will think he is in heaven. Your tomato mug looks great,many years ago i did ceramics but i gave all of my pieces away so treasure that one. Love the decoration on your syrup bottle.
Sarah as usual your baking looks divine, my son would think he is in heaven as shortbread and chocolate are two of his favourite things.Your tomato jug looks wonderful as does your syrup with the decorative bottle.
chocolate syrup? Yum! My sister would absolutely love that chocolate cook book. You and Sarah always come up with the best labeling and packaging for your baked goods!
Yum — it all sounds (and looks) soooo good. That little tomato is adorable too. I loved it when my kids had ceramics — they always brought home some cute stuff.
Mmmmm! and the chocolate syrup is displayed in such a CUTE way.

Chocolate shortbread! Yum! Must say I agree with you Sarah and prefer chocolate over fruit!! Love the tomato cup.
Great job on the tomato mug. Love the shape, colors and lid. That will be fun for her to use.

Yummy! Ceramic classes are such a great way to inspire the young. I remember taking some when I was a preteen, and how enjoyable they were.

Keep those yummy days coming! :o) ((HUGS))
Looks like you and Sarah are making the most of the school holidays. You are both so talented! The tomato cup is awesome.
You two make the best use of your vacation time! I wish I could reach right through my comp and nab that chocolate syrup… 🙂
Mmm… chocolate shortbread! I could eat a slice (or two!) of that just now with my morning coffee 🙂 Lovely as usual!
Sarah is a real talent! Just like you!
It seems like you are both enjoying the school holidays together. I like Sarah’s tomato mug and all the chocolate treats.
We still have two more days of school before the summer holidays and this year I have two weeks off work. We hope to do some Mother and Daughter creating too.
Look forward to seeing more creative crafts.

I really love Sarah’s tomato mug, it’s so beautiful!
