A perfect day for a picnic…

On Saturday, Edinburgh was seriously foggy. And cold. And damp. And very not picnic-y. Sunday’s sunshine caught me by surprise. (Plus I slept in as I wasn’t feeling well. Yup, fail!) So t...

I left my heart in Tokyo…

November 2008. I’m standing in Tokyo as a huge parade comes up a street in Asakusa. I can barely breathe with excitement. (I am in Japan! I am in Japan!) I stand at the back of a crowd and try ...

Guess who’s in Mollie Makes?

Yup, it’s me. How fricking cool is that? When Mollie Makes asked if I’d like to do a feature for them, I was like ‘hells’ and ‘yeah’… Well, I actually said s...

Wibble wobble… how to make vintage jelly in glass moulds

A few years ago, I bought a glass jelly mould. “We should make some jelly” I announced on bringing it home. I cleaned it up, put it on a shelf and promptly forgot all about it. Same goes ...

You spin me right round… my 80s record collection

It’s been a bit of a Manic Monday… so I thought it was time to go all 80s on you! Of all the thrifty finds I have acquired over the years, the most surprising is my collection of 80s reco...

Friday I’m in love… with printmaking

I have a new hobby. One I’m not exactly great at (which is a bit of an understatement) but one which I love all the same… printmaking. This studio is currently one of my favourite places....

The best ever charity shop… and the find that got away

You had me at cake… heart cake and heart bunting

Tuesday Bluesday… a YOKE screen print giveaway

A friend has a theory that Tuesdays are worse than Mondays. Mondays you expect to be kind of Monday-ish. But then Tuesdays just sort of sneak up on you! With that in mind, I thought today would be a ...

Weddingnesday… the night before (and doing wedding flowers at midnight)

So… back in October (eeek, where did time go?) I blogged about the run-up to our wedding. As a recap, the three days before the big day: there’d been a funeral, a minor freakout, a frenzi...

What’s the motto with you?

This… yes, this is pretty much my motto right now. (Except I actually say ‘I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway’.) I do like a good motto. So much s...

Bits and bobs and more sideboards…

I’ve been having an early Spring clean. That’s rearranging, chucking out, re-finding things I already own… So far this has involved: 1. Making a little wall display with my print fr...

Because it’s Tuesday… how to make ‘not cake pops’

For our wedding, friends and family made all the cakes, puddings and desserts. They were all supremely good. And we had too much. But two nights before the wedding I was worried we wouldn’t hav...

Hello Christmas, Goodbye 2011

Eeeek! Only 3 more sleeps to go! How on earth did that happen? (I still have about 10 days to open on my Grinch advent calendar!) The last wee while has just been work, work, work. Some of it good, e...

It’s beginning to look a lot like a rather crafty Christmas…

So Christmas has arrived… On Friday night, we bought our tree (and named him Bruce the Spruce) then on Saturday we set about decorating. A lot of last year’s decorations were looking a li...

Because it’s Decembrrr… letterpress gingerbread cookies

A while ago, I had the thought of using our wooden letterpress blocks to stamp letters into cookies. I tried it. It wasn’t a failure. But it wasn’t a great success either. Then my husband...

Because it’s Monday… Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom

Weddingnesday… scenes from an impending marriage

I picked up this book on my last visit to London. I bought it because I’m a graphic novel geek (not sure if I’ve mentioned that before) and I have other books by the same writer. I’...

Because it’s Monday… halfway to a hipster

When we were in Brooklyn, we played Spot the Hipster. From this, we learned that to pass as hipsters the other half would need to grow a beard, and I would need to get a fringe. There seemed to be ot...

Saturday I’m smitten… with NYC

Back in September I uttered those exact words (without the asterisks). We’d just discovered that the other half had not one but two weeks less holiday than we’d thought. So any idea of a ...
