On Game Days We Wear Teal……
After many months of eyeing up Sharks fabric at Joann, and then finally buying some…. then it sitting on the shelf…. I took my friend Brooke to her first Sharks game last night, so even only having my comedy portable machine, I decided it was time to make myself a top! (crappy phone picture of […]
Overnight Wholewheat Pizza Dough
Hmmmmm…… Another long absence. But good news people! I passed my Physics exam! Woooooo! Possibly my finest achievement yet to date, as I really hated it, and forcing myself to learn it all after 15 years have passed since the last time I did Physics? PAINFUL. But one more hurdle overcome in my quest to […]
Knot Cushion
This project originated way back in August, when my friend Rachael and I were sat in my old local pub in Bristol (Yey for The Old Stillage!), and she was telling me about these cool knot cushions she had seen while on holiday in Iceland, but couldn’t justify £150 for one cushion. being crafty ladies […]
Waffled Leftovers. With added Cheese.
Well hello! For Christmas this year, this lucky little lady got a shiny new waffle iron. Yup. I had been eyeballing up waffle irons for months after having been indulging in ogling some food porn of various waffled items, mainly inspired by the blog at willitwaffle.com. This morning Mr M made me sweet waffles for breakfast […]
My Borderline Inappropriate Christmas Dress
You guys! It is only blimmin’ Christmas! And quite importantly, I only have one more module of Physics and an exam to get through, and then I am freeeeeeee! Until going back to school (hopefully) in the Summer. Anyhow, while work commitments, distance, and a general lack of organisation have prevented me from writing Christmas […]
Popcorn and Cranberry Garland
Last year we didn’t really embrace the holiday period as our belongings didn’t arrive until the 23rd, and we could only feel so much festiveness while living in a rented apartment. Sad times. Poor show. And this year? Well I have been slacking. Slacking in that I have done very little thus far to prepare. Hardly […]
Fiery Cinder Toffee (with Chocolate and Ginger Cupcakes)
Today I contemplated the purchase of some sparklers. A little bit of low key fireworks to celebrate the 5th. However, the only place in Santa Clara County that you can buy fireworks is in Gilroy….. So I decided to do a bit of alternative celebration by making some delicious cinder toffee. Fiery Cinder Toffee Recipe […]
Scientific Scrubs
I have been hankering after some nice comfy tops to wear to work. A couple of the people who are training in our lab right now are from another lab, and wear scrubs to work…. Maybe I don’t want proper scrubs, but some scrubs inspired by my Souvenir Alcatraz top? Yeah! I took a pattern […]
Mexican Sugar Skulls
It is almost time for Dia de los Muertos! My friend Brian and I had been talking a while ago about all the different traditions around it, and we looked at all the fabulous pictures of sugar skulls online and he said how much he wanted to have a go at making them. Then I saw […]
Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
This weekend was spent with a friend of ours who was visiting from England. On Saturday we went to Arata Pumpkin Farm, got slightly lost in the Maze, but were eventually victorious, found the Minotaur, and emerged with our golden pumpkins! We also bought some pumpkins of various shapes and sizes to take home and […]
