How To Create A simple Valentine's Vignette...
On a sideboard, Dining table or side table, this vignette is very simple to create.
I used a ceramic double vase, but you could swap that for a tall white jug for the heart branches, and a matching white shorter style vase for the roses.
The bonus is they were already painted and dotted with spots ready to use.
I used these small hearts
from http://www.firstpalette.com/tool_box/printables/heart.html
But they have a range of different hearts to choose from.
Use the hearts as a stencil to cut of some pretty papers.
Or print directly onto A4 size coloured paper.
Use as many hearts as you desire...
I used 32 hearts on my branches.
Punch a small hole in the top of each heart...
and string with ribbon.
Passionfruit & Pistachio Slice...
I know I say it all the time but...
this slice is DELICIOUS!
(But that could be because I LOVE passionfruit!)
(But that could be because I LOVE passionfruit!)
It's an unbaked slice...
It has pistachios and biscuit crumbs in it...
Combine those flavours with sweetened condensed milk
and passionfruit...
(I have adapted this to use passionfruit topping but the original recipe uses fresh passionfruit.)
(I have adapted this to use passionfruit topping but the original recipe uses fresh passionfruit.)
And you have 'eat it straight from the bowl' deliciousness.
But if you are well-behaved, you will press the mixture in a slice pan,
and ice the top with creamy passionfruit icing.
Then wait an hour or so, before you slice it into little squares.
This Passionfruit & Pistachio Slice will be devoured with glee...
It is moist and moreish!
I'm sure this recipe is one straight from Grandma's handwritten cookbook.
I like to imagine that it is.

Let's create a cool chunky rope uptake on the macrame style pot plant hanger...
I am seriously I'm loving this look!
I used this rope, which is available at Bunnings.
I was difficult to decide what colour to choose...
It comes in red, blue, yellow or the green.
The Moda brand pot is lightweight so perfect for the hanger.
It is 18cm round.
It is 18cm round.
You will need a large carabiner clip to hold the rope hanger.
Hang your carabiner up on the ceiling or as in my case deck roof using another strong hook.
Cut four lengths of rope at 3600mm each.
Thread each length halfway through carabiner so you have 8 lengths each at 1800mm.
This is when Arabella decided the rope was a new cat toy!
Make a large knot at the base of the Carabiner.
Trim ends to same length.
Take two ropes and knot together at about 250mm from the top knot...
Do this again but at about 150mm down from the first row of knots.
You now have two rows of knots at shown.
Split the rope as shown...
By taking one rope from each of two knots next to each other.
Then at about 200mm make four knots.
This is where the pot will sit.
Check how your unplanted pot will sit, and tie a bottom knot under the pot.
I chose a Scaevola for this hanger,
as they are VERY hardy.
(I am hoping this means I will not kill it!)
The flowers are so pretty.
Scaevola almost has an interesting succulent like foliage...
I may have to make a few more Chunky Rope Pot Plant hangers,
because it really looks fabulous!
