You may have noticed that A Spoonful of Sugar has been fairly quiet over the past few weeks. We had a couple of weeks off to relax – including a much anticipated family holiday to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. We have also had school and university holidays over recent weeks and it was lovely to spend time with the teens. I am now on extended long service leave from the day job. There are lots of plans afoot for sewing and crafty projects; baking and healthy meals; and home organisation projects. Stay tuned!

What a beautiful and yummy-looking photo to wake up to! Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Are we going to see some photos?
Delish. I second the call for seeing some Malaysia shots – that would be lovely! Enjoy your time off, it will be fun to see what you get up to craft-wise with more time on your hands.
They sound very nice think I will have to make them.
