Games, craft and more

Still no gaming, but instead I did some colouring of a cute Disney princess art therapy book...

I baked a super yummy nutella cake (layer of nutella just under the surface of the cake thanks to adapting the recipe which only asked for tiny splodges)...

Also made these super yummy wholegrain hoop marshmallow (fish gelatine version) crispies which are DELICIOUS!

Craft wise I didn't do much as I got ready for welcoming family home from holiday, then had some rest days, bit managed to work on a cute knitted baby bootie...
