Of course it's Handmade Monday again, which, if you don't know, is a bloghop hosted by the lovely Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts and gives crafters the chance to share their blogs with everyone. It is over on Handmade Harbour so go and have a look.
This week I shared my kitchen table with my mum, who has recently started to make cards. She definitely seems to have caught the bug, and most importantly she is enjoying herself. She made a lovely card for a freind who has been poorly. I found myself making a couple of ATC's for the ATC Trail over on UK Scrappers.
We've done a bit of baking this week, too. As regular readers will know I'm a Herman lover, and this week I decided to keep all the starters for myself instead of giving them away. Selfish, perhaps (you should share the Herman love!) but it was all in a good cause.
First of all it was sourdough pancakes
And then Herman bread
And finally Raisin and Oat Herman muffins. I didn't take a photograph of them, but we did share them with Daisy the Fairy, and she seemed to enjoy it!
If you want to know more about Herman cake, or maybe try out some of the recipes (and there are a lot!) then there is a great Herman website right here.
And that's it from me. I hope you all have a great week.
Til next time!

Treasure the time with your Mum so precious and love te atc's
I was given a Herman this week, but I think he is probably dead now as I have had to leave him with my husband. Such a shame as I was really excited about having him too.
Wow those fairies can wolf the cake, can't they?
Lovely ATCs.Can I put my name down for some Herman please-I'm sure S would love having it!
It's so nice to share a kitchen table with someone that also has a love of crafting. That's a big cake for a little fairy!
The twinkle twinkle card is very cute, and all that Herman food looks scrummy.
lucky fairy - they can be such piglets. Your ATCs are really lovely, especially the lilac one. Good luck with the birthday party plans. Have a good week.
Your cards are really pretty. Will have to pay a visit to Herman as I haven't met him. Hope you enjoy the birthday party. Ali x

super cards :)
looks like you've had lots of baking fun too! I'm sure your little fairy enjoyed her share :)
I love the fairy door such a great feature - I would buy a house with one of those just for it! I am amazed at all the things you manage to make with Herman - is there a gluten free version?
@knitnrun4sanity: i don't know! But you could have a look on the net!
@fatmonica: will text you!
@Tickled Pink: the Herman website has instructions how to make a starter from scratch! It is actually quite difficult to kill him!
I love Hermann cake, I must make some soon
Love the little fairy door. I'm sure she didn't eat all that cake! I think someone must have helped her!
Both are lovely, love the colors xx
nice atc! i can see somebody has been experimenting with inks and sprays :)))
love the bottom pic! ha ha made me smile! little doors, ha ha ha :)
The fairy door looks fab, and my gosh what a hungry fairy lives behind the door!Off to learn a bit more about herman!
It's nice that you're able to share your hobby with your Mum
1st birthdays are to be treasured but you don't need loads of fuss just loads of photo's :o)
Love the last photo, the fairies really enjoyed the cake.

That bread looks amazing!!!! I hope Daisy enjoyed the cake and told all her friends. My friend has a little one who is 6months old at minute, bless her she looks shattered and has little spare time so I can only imagine what you're going through! x
Aww happy (nearly) birthday to your baby. They grow so fast don't they?
The cards are lovely.
