How to make bobbins

If you don´t have the opportunity to buy bobbins you can make them yourself at home.

I used to create these homemade bobbins out of old, unused markers and pencils.Cut off both ends of the pencil, apply glue to a long, thin strip of paper and tightly wrap it around one end of the pencil, for the other end you wrap about a third of the pencil using either wider strips of paper, or string.Coat the paper/string in glue and let it dry for a day or two, so they harden.

The winner yeast dough with me

It is a winner dough with me. My family always finishes all of it in a few hours. This is a very easy to do yeast dough, but if you're on a diet

and want to keep a slim figure, then you might as well stop reading.

What you need:

1/2 cup of milk, luke warm 
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of sugar
1  cup of flour
1  egg (separate the white and the yolk) room temperature
3 tablespoons of unsalted softened butter

Mix the milk, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Leave it in a warm place 

until bubbly, (10 - 15 minutes.)

Put the flour into a bowl and make a well.Next, we have put the 

egg yolk and the yeast mixture we made into the well.

Mix all the ingredients we made into a soft dough. Move the mix  onto a floured surface and kneed briefly until smooth.  

Don't put the dough away to rise, but instead roll it out it a thin as much as you can.Sprinkle flour onto your board to make it easier 

to roll. 

   brushed with ketchup, and topped with  pepperoni and cheese and rolled.

----------------------------------------- 

 one roll is filled  witch  a sweetened quark raisins 

 and the other with a grated apple mixed with a sweetened cocoa powder.

----------------------------------

I used the same dough  not as a roll  just a pie filled with plum jam and sliced plum (no added sugar)

Don´t forget before baking brush the top with beaten egg white. 

Hope you enjoy :)

Inspired with KALOCSAI

When I'm looking for an inspiration for decorating eggs I often look for embroidery designs.With these Easter eggs I was inspired by a beautiful embroidery pattern called "Kalocsai". This beautiful embroider is even worn by many world-famous celebrities, like Iker Casillas - Real Madrid's goalkeeper, F1 McLarren members Lewis Hamilton and Jesen Button. Even Nicole  Kidman was recently spotted in a beautiful dress with the Kalocsai embroidery.

 More about Kalocsai on Wikipedia HERE.

Easter eggs painted etched and dotted

I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything in a long while, but my full attention was spent on Easter. Since I'm still very busy, I won't be able to post any new patterns, but in the meanwhile, I'll post an old pattern of mine that I haven't published on the internet yet.
