Today I met up with a friend and I gave her a small gift as she has just celebrated a birthday milestone.
I did a mini quilt as you go heart shaped panel, then turned it into a lavender bag. It is 100% Heather Ross on the front, and backed with some soft pink corduroy. It was good to spend a couple of hours chatting and laughing. Where would we be in life without friends?
And for the chocolate side of things, I made cookies yesterday - Double Chocolate Chip. I followed the recipe totally, until it came to the amount of chocolate chips required. I doubled it. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
Half the cookies have been eaten already too. No sense making them and not eating them, for breakfast she says, hanging her head in shame.

If twice the chic chips is less than a packet, then I suggest you try again!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gift xxx
Sometimes cookies for breakfast are required to make it through the day! Lovely gift.
ReplyDeleteYum. You can't go wrong with chocolate chip cookies any time of day or night.
ReplyDeleteperfect. x
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with chocolate chip cookies for breakfast occasionally.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder at recipes with chocolate/smarties/fudge in and think they most have lost the plot if they think thats all thats going in :)
ReplyDeleteI ate donuts for breakfast yesterday ...and then constantly throughout the day as a food source. ( please dont tell anyone because Im a little ashamed this morning )
ReplyDeleteWe all need to comfort eat now and then! Cute heart! Jxo
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with cookies for breakfast...been known to eat some odd things myself at times.. Hope your funk is soon gone and that you are back to your chipper old self.
ReplyDeleteMust be the tilt of the earth. Made cookies and went on a bender myself. A harmless thing to drown your sorrows with, I think. Love the little heart gift you made.
ReplyDeleteNo shame in cookies for breakfast -- after all they're just hard pancakes -- eggs, flour, sugar ... and chocolate is a vegetable ...
ReplyDeleteFood is food, yes? Chocolate chip cookies come under the food category? yes!
ReplyDeleteSo you eat them, at whichever time of day you wish! Go cookies for brekka!
cookies are best eaten as fresh as we all know
ReplyDeleteChocolate has more antioxidants than broccoli so I say brava to such a wonderful start to your day.
ReplyDeleteHow is eating a choc cookie any different than, say, a pain au chocolate? That's clearly breakfast food, my friend. xx
ReplyDeleteI always add twice the recommended chocolate chips..more veggies can't hurt...it is a veggie...cocoa beans..beans are veggie right? :o) Thinking about you..saw your recent post..((hugs))
ReplyDeleteThanks again, I do so love my little heart and it's already hanging up in my little dressing room. As per what seems to be the consensus, I concur - quantities of chocolate should always be doubled (seriously, it should be law) and it is perfectly acceptable in my world to have cookies for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend lovely,
xx
I think cookies for breakfast is entirely reasonable in the circumstances, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh hell, I don't even bake the cookies, I eat the dough for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteBTW, she who will not be there has handed back the cookie reins, but I've now got the other stuff, so would you like to be cookie maker extraodinaire?
Double chocolate is definitely the only way to go. Hope you're feeling brighter x
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with biscuits for breakfast, just ask Archie!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a lovely friend
