gifts

What I made for my mother - her diary is always jam-packed and bursting at the seams by June, so I got a small ring binder and some punched lined paper from paperchase, printed the diary pages myself and added lots of pockets, envelopes and pouches for all the receipts, notes and who-knows-what that will be stuffed into it over the year! The idea is that she can get herself refills if she needs more paper in there. I decorated the important days (my birthday especially...) and finished it off with black elastic, taped and glued for double strength at the back.

Really like these 'bad Christmas jumper' t-shirts from Vardagen. My own personal bad Christmas jumper is primed and ready for the trip home. Feeling Christmassy yet, loves?

This is a chestnut, mushroom and garlicky cream pie that I made t'other day and had to take a photo because, frankly, I was so proud of myself. Took bloody ages to peel all those chestnuts though!

If cows were really colours like these, how much more exciting driving through the countryside would be...

I've splashed out on these two deliciously-coloured hides, for making of nice deliciously-coloured things. Magenta leather shorts, anyone?
