Sssssshhhhhhh…..

Ssssssshhhhh….somebody, somewhere is getting this gift from me sometime soon….I can’t say who, or what it is….because I’m mysterious like that. Or, more to the point, the recipient might be reading and then it would be no surprise at all would it?
This is my offering for the Art Exchange project I blogged about a few [...]

Help!

Can’t…stop…making…stuff…
Crappy iphone shot. Arms are both broken after shooting the valentine’s garland. Occupational hazard I guess…
This is mostly Julochka’s fault. She’s either my ‘enabler’ or my ‘craft stash pusher’ (her term), depending on how gracious I’m feeling. Last night she was tempting me with a Gocco printer, but I fear my craft budget has been [...]

I thought that you didn’t like me

How can a little badge be so sweet and yet so needy all at the same time? I hear the words said in a whiny voice, “I thought that you didn’t like me” which surely begs the response, “Actually, I don’t…you moaning minnie”.
That’s an aside. My point is that, hoorah hoorah, here I present wibbly [...]

Sunday…Diggy’s 3rd birthday…I made a birthday cake, the first one I’ve ever made (and one of my 39 before 40 tasks)…it turned out better than I dared hope and tasted pretty good (faints in amazement)

And then [...]

Time, time, time…

…see what’s become of me…(bonus points: name that song)

Lemon Drizzle Cake – AKA baking for non cooks

I’m a can’t cook won’t cook kind of person. I can just about manage to feed my children otherwise all cooking is the responsibility of MrSpud. He went away a few weeks ago, the neighbours ending up feeding me one night out of sheer pity.
