Sewing and baking

Today I decided it's time to try again sew stuffed toy for Dom. My first attempt few years ago was complete disaster :) I tried a sock rabbit - I'm happy nobody saw it :)

How do you think, what I tried to sew today?

Oh yes! Dinosaur! T-Rex :) Result -pitiful in my opinion :) Great - in my partner's opinion plus Dom likes it, so... look:

Template ready :)

Good as a food :)

What do you think about my doggie?

And this was my morning :) Afternoon I thought 'Maybe I bake some cake' and I did :)

You need:

2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of oil, 3 eggs, 1 tbsp of bicarbonate soda, 2/3 tsp of mixed spice or only cinnamon, 1 tbsp of cocoa (or more), 100-150 g fruits - fresh, dried or frozen (or which is easier a half of jar of blackcurrant jam).

Mix all, spoon onto baking tin (can be spring tin, square tin, any kind you have) and bake in 200 C for 35-45 minutes (wooden screw comes out clean). You can bake it as muffins too - baking time around 25 minutes.

You can decorate your cake in your way :) Enjoy!
