Hazelnut Coffee
While staying with my cousin Christine in Cape Cod over the summer, ricardo and I developed a taste for Hazelnut coffee. When we got back, we treated ourselves to a new filter coffee maker (we decided against the pod-type version in the end) and now, I can have a hazelnut coffee at home whenever I… Continue reading Hazelnut Coffee
Fave food
Asking me to choose my favourite food would be like asking me to choose my favourite of three children (I imagine - I only have the one child so that's easy at the moment). Bacon, cheese and bread make up my core fave foodstuffs but bread is a pretty strong contender as my Number 1,… Continue reading Fave food

I used a recipe from a good friend which is kind of healthy: Kinda Healthy Banana Muffins (or Loaf) 2 tsbp melted Flora Original 1 tbsp milk 2 mashed bananas 1 medium eggs 225g self-rasising… Continue reading Edible
Bird for the Soul
http://instagram.com/p/XGHKsEzfAv/ When time is so precious and work is talking over, it is very easy to stop doing the things that you love but that are not essential to your day-to-day life.

The last thing I crafted was the embroidery I sewed for our sew make believe lucky dip present and that was only because I had to (although I was so glad… Continue reading Losing my Crafting Mojo

I already had the charger plate from our wedding Portmeirion set and I… Continue reading Happy Halloween
Twit Twoo
This is what I made on Wednesday at the most enjoyable sew make believe Felt Owl Workshop. It was super simple and yet very gratifying. I have not sewn anything for ages and the meeting was welcome respite from my course. You can make see more about the workshop and find out how to make… Continue reading Twit Twoo
Winter Cabin
It's that time of year again when I can't help but add to my holiday felt ornament kit collection. All the kits are by Alicia Paulson and I love each kit (although I have so far only completed 2 of the 5 kits I now have). I love Alicia's kits because they are beautifully designed,… Continue reading Winter Cabin
My Future
I am guessing that the creators of this writing challenge (and the vast majority of the Tumblrs participating in it) are still fresh, young things with their whole lives ahead, unmapped and unplanned. I, on the other hand, may be a wizened old crone, but I still have hopes and dreams for the future: to… Continue reading My Future
