You had me at cake… heart cake and heart bunting

It’s nearly Valentine’s… so that seems like the perfect time to talk heart cake… I came across this idea by I Am Baker before our wedding and thought ‘oooh that looks li...

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...

Holy moley, me, oh my… a baby bunting diy

So my first ever baby bunting… Before some of you get too excited, the baby in question isn’t mine! No when your friend who you’ve known since you were 14, who you went to uni with,...

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...

Because its January… or Jaguars Need You, Larry

So it’s January 2012. Or it’s Jaguars Need You, Larry according to my Cats Let Nothing Darken Their Roar calendar. (I missed out on getting one last year so I was determined to have the 2...

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...

Saturday I’m smitten… with vintage markets

It’s been a while since I’ve been thrifting… (and I’ve kind of been craving it if you can crave such a thing?) So with Christmas on the way, I got up early this morning to hea...

Because it’s Monday… Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom

One of the first things I ever blogged about was wanting a ‘Awopbopaloobop Awopbamboom!’ print. It was my Wayne’s World print… often coveted, considered, sometimes in the onli...

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 ...

The one with the Ferrero Rocher cupcake

So this weekend past I was in London. I was down to see my sister’s play, do some work and have belated birthday fun. Here’s this weekend in pictures, including the most amazing vegan Fer...

A dead good birthday…

At the weekend, we celebrated my birthday. Or my birthoween. That’s Halloween and a birthday rolled into one. Let’s just call it a dead good birthday. (Scots are allowed to use ‘dea...

Thrifty finds… and a shifty tiger cake

I have a cold. The kind that means you can still get on with life as long as you have a lifetime’s supply of tissues by your side and copious cups of yucky blackcurrant yuckness. So if this pos...

Hooray for Halloween…

 I freaking love Halloween. It is by far my favourite holiday of the year. Blame an early obsession with Count Duckula and The Trap Door if you like but some of my favourite childhood memories involv...

Blook Club… wine and wombles

I brought my new tote bag to the second Blook Club. Thankfully, everyone had read the book and not been reading wine labels instead. (Though I was feeling a little blurry round the edges myself thank...

I Do DIY… jam jars with bunting and hearts washi tape

Truth be told, I don’t eat a lot of jam. I do however like putting flowers in jam jars. So one of the first DIY things we did for the wedding was collect jam jars. We sourced them from family, ...

Saturday I’m smitten… with my new sideboard

I have a new sideboard. I didn’t need a new sideboard. (Actually in truth very few people ‘need’ a sideboard.) But here’s what happened: The wonderful little cake shop Auntie ...

Weddingnesday… a year and a half in the making (sort of)

Before the wedding, the idea of blogging about it seemed very simple. After the wedding, our wedding, well it feels quite different. Where to start? How to start? Should I even do it? I know some of ...

Friday I’m in love… with old suitcases

I love old suitcases. I love that they’ve possibly had lots of adventures before I ‘met’ them. We’ve been collecting a few lately for a future little project. And I’m al...

My type of thrifty finds… a new typewriter and more china

We’ve not had much time for car booting lately. All our theories of having a quiet life once married are yet to materialise. That said, we have picked up a few treasures recently… My favo...

Friday I’m in love… with Edinburgh

I’m not from Edinburgh. As a city it wasn’t my first love. In fact, Glasgow stole my heart first, then I cheated on it with Copenhagen. But by god, I have learned to love you Edinburgh, y...

The first rule of Blook Club…

Yesterday, I held the first, little trial run of Blook Club. Some very lovely blogging ladies came along and it seemed to go pretty well. We all liked the book for a start. We’d all cringed, la...

Ten years ago…

Ten years ago, I was living in LA. Ten years, I woke up to the phone ringing… My Dad saying “Zoë, wake up, America is on fire.” Ten years ago, I switched on the TV minutes before th...
