Cream Cheese Brownies and Amigurumi

For those of you (is there anyone?) who read my blog regularly you might remember a month or so back I posted something about cream cheese brownies. I posted that because the amigurumi I was working on was for a friend and she didn't want anyone to see it before her and so as I couldn't blog about amigurumi that day I blogged about baking instead! Well I have now seen that friend and given her the doll so I can now show you some pictures. I'm really happy with how she turned out. I think the eyes are great - even though I may say so myself! And the bag is pretty good too :) The doll is about 30cm tall. And funnily enough, today I made some more cream cheese brownies for a Hen night that I'm just about to go to!

The Art of Being a Domestic Goddess

I am certainly not a domestic goddess - my husband cooks dinner most days for a start, but I do love baking and especially baking things from Nigella Lawson's book How to be a Domestic Goddess.

The amigurumi I have been working on this week is for a friend and she doesn't want anyone to see it before she does so I can't post any photos to show you what I've been doing. It's a big doll so it's taken me quite a few days. It's almost finished now and I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out.

So as I have no amigurumi photos to post today I thought I'd post a picture of the cream cheese brownies I made last night. They are very squidgy and yummy.
