Christmas Door Wreath

 It's going to be a funny (but not the haha sort) weird kinda Christmas for me this year...

But 2020 has been just that, hasn't it?

There will be no tree this year.

I'll tell you more about the reason why in a while...

But I am doing a door wreath.

And a table feature.

But in superbly 'KISS' (keep it simple stupid) style!

This is why I love Ezibuy.

Because when you have no time to craft it, create it or DIY make it,

their ready-made is just right!

So for the front door this year I chose a pretty metal and faux pine and greenery wreath.

Noel is considered a french word but it actually dates back to the  Latin word Nasci, which means to be born.

In the middle ages, Noel described the Christmas period.

'Joyeux Noël is merry Christmas in French'.

Available Christmas 2020 via Ezibuy.

Lemon Meringue Mousse

Deliciously tart, tangy and OH SO CREAMY!

The lemon lovers will LOVE this light and airy dessert.

Lemon meringue pie inspired it's super simple to put together, and ready to eat in a few hours.

The yield is about 8 larger size ramekins.

Use smaller ramekins to treat more people.

Step 1:  Make the lemon base and cool.

Step 2: Make the meringue.

Step 3:  Fold the cream Fraiche into the cooled lemon base.

Step 4:  Use a whisk to whip the lemon mixture into the meringue.

Step 5: Spoon into ramekins.

Top with some finely grated lemon rind.

Chill for 2 hours before serving.  

Lemon Meringue Mousse is best made and eaten on the same day.

Adaption: Orange or mandarin can be used instead of lemon.

Christmas Art Rocks

Painting rocks.

One of my favourite things to do!

And these simple designs are perfect for the kids to make on a weekend.

Perfect to decorate the home for Christmas.

Perfect to gift to the grandparents, aunties, uncle or teacher.

TO CREATE:

 

Select smooth rocks with a flat front surface.

                   

Using gold acrylic paint, paint the rock a shown.

While the paint is drying, sketch some ideas to decorate the rocks.

Use a black marker pen 

(Sharpie is best as other brands tend to run when you spray varnish the rocks)

Decorate the rocks as desired.

When dry spray a light coat of varnish sealer over them.

Place in the decor or gift.
