There are some friends that you have forever. No matter how long it is since you have seen them, it’s as if you have never been apart. My friend Rebecca is one such friend, we met at Rainbow playgroup when we were about 4 or 5, our mothers were firm friends (hers a Speech and […]
One of my ultimate favourite summer drinks is homemade Elderflower cordial. It’s delicious. However, due to a mixture of hecticness, and the particularly rubbish weather we have been having lately, I haven’t had chance to go for a proper flower picking session. Next best thing? My Grandma K’s Lemon Cordial. I make it two ways, […]
I have been a little lax in updating recently, but to be honest, I haven’t had anything to post. A combination of working on something fairly large (that I can’t update until complete because it’s a secret! Shhhh!), and being poorly sick last week (was almost sick in the street while walking home from work, […]
….the time had come to finish off bits and pieces. You know, those things that you start, but don’t quite finish? When we made the Kindle cases a few weeks ago using wet felting around a bubblewrap resist, the intention was to embellish and decorate them. After about a week (yes, I know! A week!), […]
I was meant to be going to watch a load of planes today. I didn’t. I was tired, it was raining (and has been for the past two weeks or so), the fields around the airstrip would be a mudbath. Instead, I played with a few sewing projects, utilising some more of the random bits […]
Mr M wasn’t feeling too good today, so while he snoozed, and Brother Marsh snored…… I decided to make stuff. First off I decided to finally embrace making some Polaroid charms/ pendants out of Fimo…. But more on those later…. Then I decided to experiment. First some squared off sausages in yellow (10) and actually […]
I woke up on Thursday morning, up out of bed… Did I get in the shower? Oh no. I went to go feed Pauline, ready for some Sourdough bread making action when I got home from work! The first thing I realised when I got home was that perhaps she needs a bigger pot…. While […]
With it being my birthday yesterday, it left little time for baking…. But it’s the birthday of one of our good friends today….. and we were due to go for drinks at 8pm…. I don’t get home from work until 6pm…. I need to bribe people with cake to be my friends….. Ready, set, go! […]
Woo! It was my birthday yesterday, and as such I got a whole lot of love from my friends, and some exciting gifts, including a recipe book, cheese grater, Jane Austen knitting magazines, a Kindle, and this bad boy: I have been wanting to do more bread making for a while, and as a Microbiologist, […]
Up until about a week ago, I had never seen Star Wars. I know. Mr M bought me these: …so as part of my birthday stuff for work i decided to make some Wookies. Cue attempts to sound like Chewbacca……and utter failure! Each time I take things into work I try to do some vegan […]
