About a month ago, my friend James brought in some Saffron cakes to work. He loves them, and on a trip back home to Plymouth had come over all overenthusiastic and bought 3, as they don’t generally sell them outside of Devon and Cornwall. He then realised that perhaps 3 was too many, and had […]
I did mean to make this yesterday… but time sort of got away from me, and I was completing my Star Wars education by watching Return of the Jedi…. Yes, up until this last week (when I bought Mr M the complete saga on Bluray), I had never seen Star Wars…. This was a recipe […]
When we had the Jubilee party, Saffy (of the mouse) the daughter of one of our friends, arrived wearing a super cute and very appropriate union flag patterned dress over leggings and a top. It was cute, and you could tell the crafters amongst us as our reaction was to try and figure out how […]
I realised something this morning… but more of that later. Another thing I realised is that it’s almost my birthday, and I still haven’t used one of my birthday presents from last year! Look at it… taunting me by still being in it’s wrapper! At first I was freaked out about having to grease and […]
It’s my birthday next week, and as is customary, I must provide cakes for everyone at work…. However, currently I work across 3 sites… 3 lots of people…. 3 lots of cake. For the first lot of cakes, which I took into work with me today, I made vegan gingerbread men (post to follow), vegan […]
So, I’ve made aprons before, as anyone who has been to my house is well aware….. I have many. Some I have made, some I have bought, some are souvenirs, but I love them all. So when my friend Zoe offered me a spot on an apron making workshop that she had won in a […]
This is another CrossStitcher Magazine project, I loved it as soon as I saw it in the June issue. I didn’t want to make it into a bag though, it seemed like a bit of a waste of something so bright and fun. I couldn’t resist it though, so thought I would do it and […]
I find myself increasingly annoyed when browsing pretty earrings. So so often they are made with nasty nickel containing posts and wires, which make my ears very sad indeed. I am like a nickel detector, even when things are plated in silver, still my earlobes weep. This came to a head a few weeks ago […]
Did I mention it was Mr M’s birthday today? 😉 As it was his birthday, I decided to make him one of his favourites…. Beef Lasagne. Being a vegetarian, I have never actually tasted it, although people tell me it’s good. I mostly just whack things in,according to the contents of the fridge/cupboards, but they […]
It’s Mr M’s birthday tomorrow, as is customary in both his workplace and mine, when it’s your birthday…. you bring cakes. Mr M wrote me a list, Bakewells, Chocolate cake, Millionaire’s Shortbread… But I thought I might experiment a bit too…. I had some Strawberries to use up, and Mr M had opened up some […]
