My first attempt at making tofu Several weeks ago, I bought a Soyabella soya milk making machine, and since then I have made quite a lot of soya milk. I mainly use it to make yoghurt, which works extremely well; it thickens like dairy yoghurt, unlike yoghurt made with nut milk. Also, I…
Warning - medical details. Bladder woes As I have mentioned in previous blog posts, I've been experiencing increasing problems with my bladder lately. This is a common problem among "ladies of a certain age" but I have always felt that my problems didn't really fall into that category. I think as I am…
First of all, sorry not to have got round to visiting everyone last week. I seemed to have a very busy week and time simply ran away with me and I got behind with everything. I hope I'll do a bit better this week! What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I'm still working…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? UFO time! Black sideways-knit jumper The black sideways-knit jumper is now finished, washed and ready to be put away for the winter.

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? We have now been asking each other that question for a total of eleven years now! Not that I was involved at the beginning, but I've been around for a good few years. We usually do an ATC (Artist Trading Card) swap to celebrate the anniversary but…
Next Tuesday is my hubby's birthday. As I mentioned in my recent WOYWW post, I decided to make him an accordion card featuring some of our many teddies. He has always loved teddies, and tends to rescue poor abandoned ones he finds in charity shops, to give them a good home - a…
