The Room of Shame
So here’s the full post. I generally craft in my spare room. I’m lucky to have it, but it’s generally full of piles of stuff everywhere…. like so: It wasn’t very inspiring, and I had random bags with bits from different old projects, new bits of material, scraps of material………….. MESS! So it was definitely […]
Moustachetastic Neck Warmer

We’re spending a few days in San Diego, then flying up to Portland, spending a few days there and meeting a friend of ours, driving up to Seattle, spending some time there including a trip up to Whistler for some skiing!

Much like every other time I bake… I added a little something extra when making these cakes…….. Ginger! Ginger and Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe – adapted from Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache […]
Lemony Smoked Paprika Hummous
Work really gets in the way of my life. Well…. that, and that we went to Switzerland last weekend…………………….. ……………..and did some skiing, and for the first time in 3 visits…. I did not come back with an injury! Wooo! (previously I have hurt my shoulder, and then the next time we went I caught […]
