Lunch and Apple Crumble

I did not wanted to write about our lunch today, but when I cut the red onion up and I saw the beautiful gradient colour of the onion looked so artistic. So I took a photos from it and I was in the mood by then to take a pictures of our lunch today what I made for my kids and me.

I made some toast with butter and caviar.
And put some of that lovely sweet chopped red onions on the top of the caviar.

We are drink every day fruit tea from our large fruit tea collection with our lunch. Today we had plum tea with a hint of cinnamon...oh that one taste so good!

I bought some Granny Smith apples and after lunch I made some apple crumble.

It's quite easy to make.

I sliced them up in an ovenproof dish and sprinkled some raisins on top.

For the pastry you need 2oz (60g) butter, 2oz (60g) sugar and 4oz (120g) flour. Or if you would like to make more, what you need to know, the flour is always the double amount of the butter and sugar.

Crumble them together and sprinkle over the sliced apple and raisin.

Bake it in the oven for 35-45 minutes in 150 Celsius.

I served it warm with vanilla ice cream.

My kids love this dessert so much.

My creative space

ok...here it is, I show you what I was writing about in my twitter page yesterday.

I was thinking of this design for quite a while now. Last week I bought some delicious colours satin ribbons and I thought this purple ones will just fit to create my new statement necklace.

First I choose the apple/lime green organza as a base colour and hand cut and singed lots of little petals for the flowers. I found some gorgeous ribbons in my supply box.

I selected some metal filigree, rhinestones, glass beads, mother of pearl bead and some sweet vintage style buttons.

After a long-long hand sewing (10-11 hours all together), I finished this statement necklace today.

This necklace will be such an eye catching piece on someone!!

I loved mixing the rich colour fabrics, ribbons and tulle together.

The sequin details with the glass beads just fit in perfectly with the sweet handmade flowers.
I used double ivory satin ribbons to tie the necklace for a desired length.

Love the purple, lilac and green colours together.

For the perfect smooth back finish, I hand sewn some satin fabric, and signed/dated it by hand.
Just like my paintings, this is a fiber art and deserved to be signed by me.
