Today marked an exciting occasion. The first outing, in public, of my lady trolley: Oh yes. I can feel your envious looks from across the interwebs. I got it from Ikea yesterday while ticking off some more stuff from the endless list of odd things we forgot to get last time. Just you wait, next […]
A little while back I made myself some pattern weights out of DIY washers. Love them. However, after using them for a while, a) I lost one (Boo), b) I realised I could do with more. I got the inspiration for these little lovelies from an issue of Crafty Magazine. They used pebbles in a […]
Mr Marsh’s favourite flavour of Ben and Jerry’s is Cherry Garcia. The Fro-Yo even more so. And as he was so kind as to get me an icecream maker for Christmas, I thought I would indulge him and give making some a go. Trying to score me some wife points. Today we have been busy […]
Happy New Year! I have tried to make bagels before. It was back when they were doing them as a technical challenge on GBBO, and my friend Rhi, Pat, and I made some and took them into work, just as we did with the English Muffins. A happy bagel-filled day! They were however, to coin […]
EEEK! So, following on from last year’s post, it has now been 2 years since my first blog post. Steady on. Here are some stats for you: This year I published 121 blog posts, slightly less than last year, and only 28 of them included chocolate. Poor show. Must include more chocolate. The biggest event […]
All over for another year. So didya have fun? Didya spend some time with your friends and family? We did. Although it was over the internet rather than in person. Alas. Christmas dinner this year was just the two of us, but although it was just the two of us, it didn’t mean that we […]
This weekend we went out for brunch, then I took Mr M on his very first California hike (he had surgery on his knee a few months ago) at Almaden Quicksilver County Park: Then on Sunday we took a drive up to Daly City to the Dickens Christmas Fair. FUN! Although I so wished I […]
Ever since I saw the post on Did You Make That? about her Christmas PJs. I wanted some new PJs! I wanted to make some new PJs. I was very envious and in want of her material, but alas, not really available. I had no space to make such things in the old place, I also […]
Way back in November I bought a teeny tiny portable sewing machine. The reason? I had found and bought some cute chick print fabric from Hart’s Fabric, and wanted to make some baby bibs for my friend Pat. We had had a little bib making session together with both my pregnant girlies before we moved […]

But……………… is now awaiting a delivery slot so we can get it picked up from Oakland, and delivered to our new place……. Bah! Anyhow, […]
