Well, the long dark evenings really do seem to be the time to spend being crafty and making things, in between my habit of wasting a lot of time on the internet which I’m getting increasingly annoyed with myself for doing.
This time it has been seed beading and I have been making little Christmas tree earrings. [...]

This weekend was really good and productive for me, inspite of the weather forecast predicting rain and high winds it really wasn’t that bad during the day.
On Friday I got up late even though I’d plan to get up and start the day, over Christmas I got into the habit of not going to bed [...]
Home made clothes
Posted in Homemade, tagged clothes, college, Homemade, knitting, socks on January 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I was meant to be starting a soft furnishings and clothes making course tonight, but it’s been cancelled due the college not being able to find a replacement tutor for it.
I’m really disappointed, I would really like to be able to make my own clothes and learn to use a/my sawing machine to do so. But [...]
Beads, wool and spinning

Last week I was ill, it was the horrid flu-y, chest infection thing that everyone else has had and I promised I would get. It wasn’t very nice at all, and even after a week on antibiotics, and two weeks of large doses of Vit C and eating as much garlic as possible with every [...]
Bringing home the bacon…

Rhys finished making bacon today.
The joint was saved from a couple of years ago when we last had pigs (or maybe it was last year? Seeing as we’re almost at the end of this year it might have been last year, feels a lot longer ago though) for making bacon with and a couple of weeks ago [...]
November LETS meeting

Last night was the November LETS meeting, November seems to have come round really soon this year. It’s a very odd feeling to think about it almost being 2009…
The meeting was busy but I hardly ’sold’ anything, not even my homemade mustard (which has always all gone ever since I started taking it to meetings) [...]

I’ve finalloy managed to load the film of making butter on to YouTube, I’ve had to make the file a lot smaller than I wanted to but I think it looks OK.

Ok, this weekend are my first two days off the past two weeks, and I’m really glad of them. There is only so much you can get done in the evenings once you get in for work, just making sure I’m got enough clean work clothes (work and ‘animal’ clothes are something you have [...]
The Silly Things I Do
Posted in About nothing really, tagged Chocolate rice cakes, Homemade, shopping on July 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Somehow, buying rice crispy cakes doesn’t fit into my idea of ‘the simple life’, these ones didn’t even have chocolate in and you could taste it.
Homemade ones are fine, but bought ones just shouldn’t fit into the picture. Hopefully blogging about it will mean next time I’m not so temped. I really need to get [...]
