This is what happens when you decide you’re going to make all sorts of fun things, but then it snows and you really can’t be bothered to go to the big supermarket where they would actually sell you Paneer, so you decide to make it yourself. The true blame for this escapade lies first with […]
A little while ago I blogged a little about some crochet I had been doing, practicing for something bigger by making a new craftacular case for my crochet hook set that I had as a Christmas present. This project came from this Magbook: …..and…… I finished it today! Woo! The progression of the project followed […]
I was feeling the urge to make something new. In this case, from my Veggie Burgers Every Which Way book, which I bought a few months ago with some Waterstoones vouchers I had… then hadn’t got round to making anything out of! In the true style of Sunday cooking… I didn’t have any onions, and […]
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 […]

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 […]
A year ago today I published my first blog post. Just a simple little Hello. 1 year later, and I this is my 189th post. 45 of them included chocolate. At least 80% of them were probably fueled by chocolate. Or Chocolate Microwave Brownies…. Some major events have happened this year, for us Brits in […]
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! […]
