Five Years.
This year Mr M and I celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. Time flies when you’re having fun it seems, and for year 5 the theme of gifts is Wood. *insert inappropriate joke here* A while back I saw a pin on pinterest for a sign made out of an old pallet (you can find plenty […]
Sorbetto Variation: Crossover Back
Man it has been toasty warm of late here in good old Blighty! It’s almost like it’s what is that time of year called again? Oh yes… Summer. Which has of course been somewhat unpredictable, rainy, and generally not all that summery for the last few years. Ick. Now it has returned, or at least […]
A quick post about Cake.
Just a little wee post today. I had a little get together for my birthday yesterday, made a couple of quiches, had the obligatory cheese and pineapple on sticks, all that jazz. Mr M fired up the BBQ, so he could stand around it with other men and cook meat. The sun shone, the blue […]
A Birthday trip to London
So, this week was my birthday…. One of my presents off Mr M was this new toy for my camera: But also, Mr M took me to London for a couple of days. On the train. I love travelling by train! I guess this is partly because I have never had to commute by train, […]
DIY Child’s Apron Tutorial
While I was at my cousin’s place at the weekend, I made his wife Z an apron out of an old skirt (I had taken Bernie with me specifically for the purpose): She loved it. Especially I think seeing the material actually being used for something, the skirt in question she had made by a […]
Baking… baking… baking
So we returned from our weekend away, beautiful sunshine, fabulous family times…. and I have most of this week off! Score! Mr M was however in cake debt with work, whenever it is your birthday… you must bring cake. These days he doesn’t feel that he can just bring a bag of doughnuts like he […]
Wigwamtastic!
Ok, so the reason I have been so busy this week… (or one of the reasons… I also was at work all week… and on call on monday… and something else but more on that later) is because when we got back from our weekend away on Monday, I got straight on with making a […]
Mocha Tarts
Man this week has been a busy one! So busy in fact that I have had no time to write this little post about something I made for last weekend! (The cushion post I scheduled a while back, but didn’t want to post it until after we had given them away!) It was Mr M’s […]
A good guest always brings gifts!
Or that’s what they say. As it’s my big 30 this year, it seemed like an ideal occasion to have a family get together. The location for this get together is my cousin’s place, the most relaxing place ever. Among it’s many fantastic qualities, it has acres of woodland, a large trampoline, and a permanent […]
Stag Beetle
Another Cross Stitched project complete! This, again, came from issue 256 of CrossStitcher Magazine, submitted and designed by Genevieve Brading of Floss and Mischief (I also love this Snout-esque Beetle available online). Things are a bit up in the air at the moment at Marsh Towers (hence the need for stress-reducing stitching), but we shall have to […]
