1. I wish I had better teeth. Apparently I need another crown, which is rubbish (and expensive) news. The photo above was shamelessly stolen from My Milk Toof – why not visit their website and see how great they are (they’re certainly the only teeth I like at the moment!). 2. Another pair of hands.

Once upon a time I made a set of books using the packaging from some chocolate. Doesn’t sound dreadfully interesting, but they turned out really well – click here to take a peek. I really liked the finished books and thought that someday I would like to make another set, so I have. I treated [...]

On Thursday I received a surprise in the post. A friend had written me a lovely long letter (I do love getting letters and take especial pleasure in curling up with a cuppa to read them), and had also sent me a present. What’s in the wallet? Well, have a peek… The most beautiful notecards! [...]

…or possibly sometimes we just get lucky. Back in December, when all the pretty gift things were being displayed in garden centres, I was eyeing up a beautiful little cold frame. I really wanted it but at £20 it was a bit too expensive, especially as it was more decorative than functional (having room for [...]
