Over the past month or so I have been working on a little something….. But before we get to that, this is a little post about Pom Pom making, and a few different techniques for doing so. They range from the low tech to the gadget filled. Pom Pom making can be done while watching […]
Around this time last year, my brother got a spangly new job and he and his girlfriend moved to Ireland. Being the bad sister that I am, up until now we had yet to visit, which is part due to the crazy Ryanair pricing and part hectic hecticness. We arrived late Friday night, spent a […]
……….Mr M has been working a silly amount of hours for the past few weeks in the final stages of a project, now it’s delivered, he decided we should have a little break… Enter his favourite place: The Scarlet. It’s a little(ish, only 37 rooms) hotel in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, just along the coast from […]
Sorry, normal service will resume shortly. Mr M has been working very silly hours over the last few months, so now that project is over for now we decided to get away for a few days….. midweek….. as I couldn’t get any Fridays off until January! But here is a little picture of my cats. […]
….today we had a little outing. An excursion of fun. Some friends of mine from work and I, along with Mr M, went to Go Ape! in Bracknell and had a play in the forest…. on Segways! Yep. It was awesome. They have some trails in the woods with bumps and hills and curves. To […]
This is another project from Tina Barrett’s Knitted Dinosaurs book. After making the Pterodactyl, I wanted to make all of them, so am slowly making my way through the book, making them for each of my friends and familys children! (I so want one of each for myself, but I can’t really justify it!) The […]

My poor Kitchenaid (Kenneth, he’s big and strong and manly) when not in use lives, shamefully enough, in a reusable bag. Poor Kenneth. So I decided a […]
I know I said I would work on a bit of a sewing project on Saturday… but the post arrived and with it some fabric for a cross stitch project that I had planned to make from this month’s edition of CrossStitcher. With it estimated to take 65 hours to stitch…. I thought I had […]
I had the afternoon off today after a very long (super duper long and stressful) day at work yesterday. So after indulging in a spot of Christmas Present purchasing, along with some crafting supplies…… I baked. I started off another little sourdough recipe from Paul Hollywood’s book, but then I decided to make one of […]
There’s a guy at work. Our IT guy. I made Custard Tarts once, and brought them into work. They were a big hit. They now are my go-to thing to make for bribery. Last week however, he fixed one of my IT related problems, before I even nagged him the second time (and before he […]
