So in a few weeks (far too soon in fact) I will be performing in our annual Strictly show where I will be dancing the waltz with my ‘celebrity’, who up until Nov/Dec time had never danced before… my partner is shorter than me and so I am most likely going to end up wearing flats instead of heels for… Read more »
So this year and last I have been dancing latin in a girl-girl partnership, and because of this it looks much better to wear matching dresses. Last year Pippa and I whipped together this two-piece in a week for the first competition to match my partner’s existing dress and it has worked quite well so far. However I decided I… Read more »
So just before Christmas (on the day of a party of course…) I decided that I wanted to give a new lease of life to a Chair we had in our house which was looking very sorry for itself. This project was quite quick, definitely under an hour, and it is a quick way to brighten up the chair. Although… Read more »
Earlier in the week were considering our DIY projects in the garage and trying to find a set of legs for our IKEA worktop. We didn’t want to put cabinets under it and it turns out all of the other legs sold in IKEA and other places are all designed for coffee tables. So instead we turned our thoughts to… Read more »
Well I’ve been very busy in the garden the last few weeks trying to tidy it up and clear a few areas, but unfortunately there is still quite a long way to go. But I’ve accomplished quite a lot… Compost Bins: Well the transformation was quite impressive. Originally the area was very overgrown and messy (top left) and although there… Read more »
The inspiration for this was taken from pinterest when I was looking for oreo recipes and came across a recipe for cookie monster ice cream from Our family of Seven – given my previous cookie monster cupcakes I made, I thought it would be a great idea, unfortunately I didn’t have the chocolate chip cookies to make it complete, so that will… Read more »
I really like the look of pearl jewellery but in the shops it’s always so expensive. We managed to find some pearl beads online which were very good value so we bought some in order to make our own Bracelets. Pippa had previously made me a pearl necklace with similar beads which I wear quite often on nights out and… Read more »
Well I previously posted about my Rag Rug Project and it’s progress, well it has finally been completed! It took quite a while firstly just because it was quite large and fiddly, but also because it was quite difficult to find periods of time to actually sit down and spend a decent bit of time working on the rug. But now… Read more »
So along with our recent start on clearing up the garden we have also decided that it is about time that we started making our own compost and recycling the food waste that we produce from the kitchen. Since we only have a small garden we weren’t sure before about getting a compost bin, but our local council doesn’t do food… Read more »
Well the last week has been a little bit crazy leading up to our annual end of year dinner dance which I was organising this year. I was making presents for my committee and some macarons for the raffle prizes which was fun and they looked really cool but they took quite a long time to do… A recent cake… Read more »
