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 […]
Mr M is a LEGO fan. In the May the 4th sale, he treated himself to an Ultimate Collectors Edition Imperial Super Star Destroyer…. Mr M and Brother M hard at work. So, to go with his iPad case, I figured I may as well continue on the theme. I took this piece off the […]
I get carried away sometimes. I get too excited, I like to give presents, in fact so much that often I give things for no apparent reason, or give birthday presents early just because I am overexcited, or they have had a bad day…. or it’s Tuesday…. The upshot of this is that I had […]
After last week’s CraftBaketacular, I fancied doing some more felting, and have a little project in mind…. But I thought I would have a little play first. However, for this, I need equipment…. Wet felting is easy, requiring bubble wrap (yep, always have random bits about the house), sushi roll mats (£1.48 each from Tesco), […]
… having been so busy recently, time has really slipped through my fingers. Now a friend at work is due to go on Maternity leave (and now going a week earlier than planned due to pregnancy related Carpal Tunnel) and as part of her gift on leaving I had planned to make her a knitted […]
…. has involved not very much productivity. I was tired, I was feeling lazy…. I had planned to go pick Elderflowers ready for some cordial…. but the weather was iffy and a late call out last night left ne feeling a little less than perky….. So I did a little more of my current cross […]
This post was a bit delayed I’m afraid, this week has been super hectic. It is also going to be the last Herman post for a while, I’ve ran out of inspiration temporarily, and want the freedom to explore making other things. I have enjoyed playing with the Herman recipe, and it has given me […]
Ick. Rain. What to do on a rainy day? Well, it’s like rainy day playtime! Thankfully we didn’t have to go anywhere, or do anything today, so after clearing up from the party it was time to play! Not 5 minutes after we finished clearing the table, Mr M and Brother M got out the […]
