Minion Cake
As I mentioned in my last post, it was my friend’s 21st birthday a few days ago and my other friend and I decided to make him a cake. But not just any cake. Oh, no. We decided to make him a minion cake. If you’ve not come across minions before, they are basically the …
Yarn Bag Ta Dah!
I realised I said a little while ago that I should have a Ta Dah post coming up soon and then actually forgot to do it! This whole project has been a bit delayed really, as it was actually meant as a Christmas present for Heather but I only got around to making it at …
Christmas Bake Off Challenge – Gingerbread House
I have FINALLY finished the little (haha) project that I’ve been working on for over a week now, and as you’ve probably guessed, it’s a gingerbread house. I had the idea to make one when they had to do them on The Great British Bake Off and was going to do one for a bake …

It’s Done!
I wonder if you remember my scarf? It was my first attempt at knitting an actual something rather than doing a few rows, getting bored and hiding it away somewhere. Well, I bought it home from uni where I’d just been doing a bit now and then and I took it up to Heather’s when …
Spontaneous Art
On Monday this week, I had the house to myself and started the day by catching up on a few blogs. One of the blog posts I read was this one of Lucy’s. It showed a print of a collage that she bought from Caroline Rose Art after suggesting the idea of using a caravan in one …
Ta Dah!
In my house, there’s a dining room. And in this dining room, there’s a chest. And in this chest is any type of material in any colour you could imagine just waiting to be turned into something. Over the years, as we’ve dashed into haberdashery shops or traipsed through charity shops looking for costumes for …
