It’s International Homemade Hobnob Celebration day! I spent the majority of the morning in bed reading my Kindle. The benefit (and indeed, the drawback) of the Kindle, is that when you finish one book in a series… you can just download the next one… until you run out of books of course. Eventually however, I […]
A little while ago I saw a tutorial for a funny little monster. I loved him. For our little crafty afternoon Rachael and I decided to use up some of my fabric remnant stash and make some. Crafting! (Surrounded by piles of stuff – the way I do all my crafting. There was another picture […]
I was really really super duper excited about this post, but alas, I had to contain it, as it was a birthday present for my friend and I couldn’t post it until I had given it to her, just in case she saw it and it ruined the surprise! However, today we lunched and had […]
I have been busy I tell you! Granted, the majority of these were done yesterday when I had the day off work, but I did two of the little ones tonight. I think I might be getting the hang of it! Here’s a close up of the large ones: They are constructed of alternating rounds […]
Woo! 2013! Do we think it’s going to be a good year? This wasn’t originally going to be the first post of the year. I already, in fact, had written one ready to go… but it relates to my super secret thing that I have been working on, which is a present for someone so […]

I don’t know about you, but it had been a hectic time this year. It has been good to see people though, and I have had some splendiferously crafty presents, which has been fabulous! My friend put me together this apron kit: I love how she also included this tag to add to it: Haha! […]
This year, Christmas was a little odd. I was working over some of Christmas day, so we went to visit my family the weekend before, and did some present swapping, relatives visiting, and of course some baking. My Mum has been keeping an eye on my crafting and baking goings on via the blog, so […]
Once again, one of our members of staff is leaving us. It is a particularly sad time, because it’s another one in a long line of people who have left meaning people are thin on the ground and stressed out, and because of her positivity, joyfulness, and general all-round fabulosity. Her nickname is Moose. Because […]
I saw this tutorial on Pinterest a little while back, and as I had made an apron for my friend Miss W for her birthday, I decided to make her some matching potholders for christmas! I printed out the template and enlarged it to make the templates for cutting out: I cut out one […]
