Baked Coconut Shrimp

By 15mhhm15

Baked Coconut Shrimp with lettuce and sweet pepper sauceI made baked coconut shrimp as a mid-day snack and this is definitely a healthier alternative to frying. Not to mention you can make this baked coconut shrimp right in your toaster oven fairly quickly. You can fit probably a dozen large shrimps in a toaster oven.

Button and Seed Bead Earrings or Pendant

By ShirleyE

Button and Seed Bead Earrings or Pendant - pendant on fine silver chainThis is a tiny delicate piece of jewellery that looks very pretty either as earrings or on a fine chain as a necklace. Make a full set for a gift for an older child. In fact it really is so simple to make that a child of maybe 10 or 11 years old who loves crafty stuff would be able to make a set.
