"Serious art is born from serious play." Julia Cameron





The Crazy Daisies are three eccentric sisters:

 

The Baby Girl: Charlotte is our resident artist and master of all things hands on! She is a fiber artist under the name Truly Charlotte, and you can find her recycled, hand sewn, wool stuffies and hand painted t-shirts at art fairs in Ottawa. Charlotte will be sharing ideas and creative hands on projects.

The Middle Sister (aka the filling in the Oreo): Leah is a violinist, passionate knitter, and pro at converting every recipe using the goodness of Spelt Flour. She is currently in the process of becoming a hair stylist and will share lots of handy do it yourself tips, recipes and much more.

The Firstborn: That's me, Renee. I am a teacher, also a knitter, vegan chef, super shopper, running coach and art appreciator. Basically I love alot of things, and love blogs that give us all  inspiration.

Leah, Renee and Charlotte

 

Our blog is a creative place, one where in the middle of a busy day at your desk, or in the midst of the daily tasks of home, you can click open, sigh and let your inner creative self relax. It is a hectic world out there, and sometimes we all just need to play. And as Julia says:

"Serious art is born from serious play."

Here is our most loved Vegan Chocolate Sauce.

Excellent on pretty much everything! We like it on cake, coconut ice cream, waffles, pancakes, and by itself on a spoon.

Adapted from Eating Well

 

2/3 cup of dark cocoa

1 cup of brown sugar

1 1/2 cups of soya milk

1 tsp of vanilla

2 ounces of dark chocolate chips

 

With a wire whisk mix the brown sugar and the cocoa in a saucepan. Add the milk, put it on medium high heat ( we like 7), whisk it continually until the sides are simmering, approximately three to five min. Reduce the sauce to low, whisk again for three minutes. Take it off the heat, add the chocolate chips and vanilla while still stirring. Keep whisking until the chocolate chips are melted. Lasts three to four days in the fridge, if you can resist that long. Voila!
