Half a metre and three fat quarters
Mmmmm, I didn’t realise Franklin’s sold fabric from the bolt as fat quarters. Why did I not realise this?! I also got…
MORE Debbie Bliss yarn
I don’t think this will become Ripple, I just can’t decide what it WILL be. Oh well!
Random Roundup:
I really will do a give-away soon, [...]
My bento box arrived last week, all the way from Japan. Errrm, yeah…
Second attempt at sushi
Noodles with peas
This was very much “wing it and hope” - I cooked some noodles and threw some onion, peas, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and black bean sauce into a frying pan and it turned out quite good actually. [...]
Right, that last post was a bit gushy, eh? Anyway. Back to the proper stuff.
Sock-cover-thing for my DS Lite
Pleased with this - it was trial and error getting the size right but I think it’s all right. The mattress stitch and grafting was actually quite nice to do (sewing seams… NICE?!) Anyway, I’ve got some [...]
Now THAT, is a GIG.
Possibly the best night of my life. Absolutely speechless. Some photos here, not very good quality but you sort of get the idea. If you ever get the chance to see Muse live, DO! I’ve seen them now at a 1,000 capacity gig and a 70,000 capacity gig - very different [...]
Mum suggested I try and post every day this week, but I seem to have overlooked yesterday. Oh well.
Organic pasta with feta, basil and peas.
This was dinner last night, which I cooked - that’s a first! Pasta is probably the only thing that we buy organic, but my is it tasty.
Lemon and ginger cookies.
These are [...]
Finally made some!
I really like making these - they’re simple and I can sew them by hand while watching TV What do you think?
Disclaimer: I can’t read sheet music
Two songs I’m learning (or at least attempting to) on piano - The Flowers by Regina Spektor and Coin-Operated Boy by The Dresden Dolls. Got The [...]
First attempt at making sushi
I got the sushi nori from a local Chinese import shop (which also stocks Japanese things.) I like looking around - it’s always a challenge trying to figure out what’s on the food shelves, although I did spot a translated label on a bag in the freezer which said “Frozen Chicken [...]
Just thought I’d make a quick post to say that I’ve left college for the summer now*, so this means I theoretically have the next two and a half months devoted to craft. There defintely needs to be some changes for me over this time; to manage my time better, be more productive, be less afraid [...]
Again, I’m sorry for the lack of blogging over the last couple of months. The next couple of weeks are pretty hectic for me (exams next week, lots of work the week after and then seeing Muse at Wembley Stadium!) but I’m really going to make an effort to blog more often (Haven’t we all [...]
