Vegan treats

I am so tired of buying expensive or tasteless treats that are semi-healthy. I love nakd bars but they are so pricey I can't justify them. Though that's probably why they are a treat. Anyway, I have decided to experiment and make my own nakd type treats. 

I raided the local health food shop yesterday and bought pitted dates, dried cherries, cocoa nibs and flaked coconut. Once home I broke out my food processor into it I added 1oz of each of the fruits and coconut and 1/2 oz of the cocoa nibs. I blitzed it all together then squished the yummy goodness into four truffle shaped rounds. They taste delicious and much tastier (and cheaper) than nakd coco loco bars. I have stored them in the fridge but don't think they will last long as I am on a treat myself Friday. 

Helping others

A good friend of mine is an amazing blogger. Yesterday she shared a link on Facebook calling out for help for someone wanting a character crochet camera lens cover from Sian at geekisnewchic.com This lady cannot crochet and wants this lovely item. I took a look at the link and to my surprise there were no takers. Even though she has the pattern and is willing to supply all the yarn.  The pattern is a an original design by Sarah Goldschadt

I have no exciting projects on the go as its way to hot for wool at the mo. so I replied. I had a message back a couple of hours later. I now have the pattern for a really cute little doggie lens cover and plan on making this item this week, I will post photos when it's finished.
