Day 154:
We decided to have a rustic indoor picnic, with torn apart bread, baked Camembert, baked chorizo, and roast garlic, inspired by Joy The Baker. It was soooo yummy, and after eating far too much I had to have a food coma nap :)
Day 155:
More needle felting, and no injuries this time :) In case you can't tell, this is a little mouse .
Day 156:
The bureau we bought is still sitting in the living room, waiting to be treated and taken upstairs, but I wanted to tidy up a bit, and decided to put all my things into it, to see if it would all fit.
Day 157:
Still doodling :)
Day 158:
Another ebay win ( I am wondering is I have an addiction), lovely turquoise pyrex ramekins :)
Day 159:
I fancied baking so made a batch of gingerbread star cookies, then remembered just how darn addictive they are.
Day 160:
In my bid to make boyfriend the coolest web geek in his office, I bought him a Darth Vader mug :)
Day 161:
Boyfriend put up shelves in the outdoor cupboard for me, now it is tidy - kinda...
Day 162:
Lamb and potato pie. More yummy cooking? Well no, it was a failure of epic proportions, and, well, rank. We invested in a take-away.
Day 163:
I have been looking at pretty patterns and things - research you see :)
Day 164:
Not very exciting, but the census arrived. Must remember to fill it in.
Day 143:
Somebody has a birthday just around the corner, so I have been toy shopping again. I could have sworn these guys were supposed to be woodland animals...
Day 144:
Now don't laugh. This was my first attempt at needle felting. I made some balls. And yes, I also stabbed myself. I had read how much it hurt, and it really really does, more than normal needles, it left a sore spot on the ol' finger.
Day 145:
This is the latest addition for our spare room, well it isn't in there yet, it needs a bit of love first. We won it on ebay, I love it, it is a bit tatty but has loads of character, and a secret drawer...that I have already managed to jam, but that just makes it reeeeaaalllyy secret :)
Day 146:
Cupcake! No I haven't been baking again, mine wouldn't look this good. Boyfriend treated me to some lemon cupcakes, yummy.
Day 147:
To celebrate my friend Lyd's 30th, we went to The Peacock Bar in Clapham, on Saturday, for a cocktail lesson. A lot of fun was had, and we did try to tell her to drink sensibly, but would she listen???
We layered up our own shots - well mine is the one in the middle that didn't layer as well, but it still tasted yummy.
Mai Tai!
Day 148:
I have been spending a little time at my new bureau, doing a bit of doodling.
Day 149:
The new cupboard that I had been painting, is now standing up in the spare room, with door attached. I filled the first shelve up with gift boxes.
Day 150:
Pretty patterns :)
Day 151:
My new old tin that I won on Ebay (...again). I love it. Somebody, somewhere had this tin, I don't know if it was my nan, or a friend, or if there was one somewhere at school, but there is definitely a memory attached to it, and I was determined to make it mine!!!
It is now the home to all my polymer clay tools.
The spare room is still a work in progress, but I am very happy with this tiny corner.
Day 152:
Another item that will be added to the spare room. This orangutan was a present from my friend Liz a few years back. She is a very talented lady. I hope she doesn't mind me changing the frame, it was a black one, but the spare room is going to be white, blue and orange.
Day 153:
A good way to start the day. I awoke in a very good mood, and seems as it was going to be a long day, what with boyfriend going out on a work do, straight from work, I thought I would treat myself to maple smoked bacon, and cinnamon french toast :)
