Wood & Hairpin Leg Lap Desk

I’ve been looking to create a lap desk that I could use to make sure the fan has room to breathe and I wanted something with legs so I wasn’t killing my neck looking down at the computer for hours and then it could double as a nightstand since I don’t have one.

#POPPYTALKSUMMERCOLOURS.

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Mine was filled with cake, a craft fair, catching up with friends and scrolling the Poppytalk Summer Colours Instagram feed. Did anyone else take part? I loved seeing the feed fill up with a different colour each day. It was such a fun challenge and I got to find some lovely new people to follow over on Instagram. I can't wait for #poppytalkfallcolours in October. It's my favourite season.

MORE FREE WATERCOLOUR FLORAL CLIP ART.

I've got some more free watercolour clip art for you. This time from Angie Makes. You can download them from her site here. If you like these you should definitely check out the rest of her work. As well as more beautiful freebies she has a shop where you can purchase more clip art, pre-made logos and some gorgeous fonts.

I really love them. There's so many things you can do with them. You could group them together like I've done and use them to design your own birthday cards or thank you notes. Print them out to make a pretty floral garland like this one from Maritza Lisa. I love the idea of shrinking them down and making a repeating pattern with them and creating your own summery gift wrap. You could even use them to make your own wallpapers for your phone.

How about you? What would you use them for?

PEACH FROZEN YOGHURT.

Last week when I shared this recipe for sweet and simple peach lemonade, I said the other thing I wanted to try to make was cheats frozen peach ice cream. It's a similar idea to the magic one ingredient frozen banana ice cream. You take your frozen fruit and blitz it up in a blender for an instant cheats ice cream. No ice cream maker needed.

I already had most of the ingredients from making the peach lemonade so I decided to give it a try. It didn't go exactly to plan. I didn't end up with an instant ice cream but what I did end up with was still delicious so I wanted to share it.

Instead of an instant soft serve ice cream my mixture looked more like a thick milkshake. The original recipe said to use 4 cups of fresh chopped peaches. I only had 5 peaches so I made do with what I had. I think that's probably where I went wrong. I poured my blended peach mixture into a tin and popped it in the freezer. A couple of hours later and I had this pretty amazing peach frozen yoghurt so I can't complain. If you're looking for a light and refreshing summer dessert I can recommend it.

Ingredients: (makes 6 scoops/2 servings)

5 peaches chopped, pitted and frozen (I left the skins on mine but you could remove them if you want),

3 tablespoons agave syrup,

120 ml plain yoghurt,

1 tablespoon fresh lemon.

recipe adapted from here.

1. Add the frozen peaches to your blender and blend.

I used the ice setting on my blender and followed the instructions adding a 100g of peaches at a time and it seemed to work fine.

2. Add the syrup, yoghurt and lemon juice to your blitzed peaches and blend. You can adjust these to taste.

3. Pour the peach mixture into a tin and freeze.

Your frozen peach yoghurt can be stored in the freezer for up to a month.
