To begin with, this was my meal prepping last week, which I didn't manage to upload. Allotment Cottage Pie I made Jamie Oliver's Allotment Cottage Pie, which is a brilliant recipe - full of goodness and flavour, and another of those great recipes that you can bung in whatever you happen to have.…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sorry I didn't make it onto WOYWW last week. I've had a bad week with my ME, and was quite poorly with a cold, and I had hoped to have my slippers completed but didn't manage it. However, in between, I've been quite busy and have made…
At last I have finished my embroidered felt slippers. This post is a complete account of the project from start to finish. Each stage has been covered in previous posts on this blog. I bought these slippers in Totnes at the end of March. I fell in love with them and just had…
It was a lovely sunny afternoon so my hubby suggested we go out for a bit, taking the Trekinetic with us - I haven't used it very much lately, because whenever my hubby has been free to take me out (and he's been so busy lately that that hasn't been often), I have…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Not a great deal on mine... but I have been busy away from my desk. I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold which started over the weekend, and since I didn't feel much like doing anything else, I spent the time on the recliner cuddling up…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A bit of a mixed bag this week! I have managed to do a bit of tidying in my studio. I've been doing some more experimenting with the bleaching of the teabags, sewn some more teabags, and made further progress on my slippers. I've had some problems…
Just to warn you - this is a very long post, but persevere, because among the many photos, there may be something that you find interesting. Plenty of different styles for different tastes! On Thursday 26th September I went to the Creative Crafts Show at the County Showground at Westpoint, just outside Exeter.…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Good stuff first... Teabag bleaching I have made some progress with my teabag bleaching project. After doing a bit more online research, I found that you can make a paste with bleach and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda). Apparently the bicarb enhances the action of the bleach…
My regular meal prep day, after my grocery delivery in the morning. The freezer is quite full now, so I ordered a bit less this week. Here it is, prepped and ready for use. I realised later that I forgot to include the leeks and spring onions in the photo. They were drying…
