If you get out and about in town or by car you are likely to have spotted the abundance of Taco Bell adverts for their Crunchwrap Supreme. Curious and excited about the prospect of having crisps in a folded quesadilla (think the love child of a crisp sandwich and burrito!) I decided to give my […]
As you might know by now (or not and that’s OK) I’m all about making things and fixing things and reusing things. That kind of thing! Anyway, recently our iRobot Roomba started clicking when he was working and he kept getting ‘Error 2’. (If you have a Roomba, I bet you said it in the […]
The 27th January this year marks the 10 year anniversary of living in our house so as a treat (and because we finally found the one we wanted at a price we liked) we are doing a quick vintage lounge update with a lovely GPlan unit. Unlike most of my friends we have taken our […]
With all the talk about Christmas and trees and suchlike, I thought it was about time that I shared my ideas on the alternative Christmas tree. Not only are Christmas trees a bit of a waste of tree life, they create a lot of work picking up the needles (especially if you have six furry […]
On the theme of ‘Make do and Mend’ here is another tip that I use regularly for repairing knitting with needle felting (we have also had some clothes moths which have cause me to do more needle felting this year!) In this video I show you how to use a clover felting needle, a normal felting […]

Sorry for the cheesy title of ‘easy cheesy veggie ham and onions scones’! I think the cooler weather and my slightly grumbly knee are sending me slightly more mad than usual. OK, maybe not, maybe it’s just me being punny! *groan* Anyway, there is something about being able to run up something handmade and delicious […]
I have been long coveting chalk pens after starting to try my hand at hand lettering so when I got the chance to get my little creative mitts on some Chalkola chalk markers, I jumped at the chance! As December has crept up on me somewhat sneakily, I am a little behind in my Christmas […]
I have been on a mission to create the best homemade vegan sausages as I wanted to make sausage rolls. Kind of an odd reason, I know. However, once you have perfected homemade vegan sausages, the world is your oyster for other sausagey dishes. If you can get the perfect sausage roll, you can get […]
There is something comforting about a big bowl of chunky veggie spaghetti bolognese that it needs to come into my life regularly. I don’t know whether it has something to do with it being one of my first ‘specialties’, or that it is so simple to make that makes it that way. Whatever it is, […]
