    Clutch and card holder

    I had an idea to make a change/phone purse. Now a sensible person would have found a pattern and I think I will next time. Every time I knew I was making a mess of things an idea to fix it would pop into my mind. So again a sensible person would take a break […]

    Sourdough discard crackers (vegan)

    Sourdough discard crackers (vegan)

    Well my sourdough starter still is not behaving. I am losing hope it will ever be useable. I am over a week out and it still looks like a two to three day old. Due to this I am still discarding and feeding. I collected up a good bit of discard and decided to make […]

    Wall-hanging…10 years in the making

    Wall-hanging…10 years in the making

    The story begins a long, long time ago in a land far, far away. About ten years ago while living in Texas. I got it in my head that I could be a quilter. I think this started when I discovered the Elm Creek Quilt series of books by Jennifer Chiaverini. I found a quilt […]

    It’s sour and it’s dough but is it sourdough?

    It’s sour and it’s dough but is it sourdough?

    I have been attempting a sourdough starter along with the rest of the world apparently. I managed to find some plain, white flour and on a whim I went for it. I had tried this once before but it got really watery and I didn’t know what to do….this time has been different. I added […]

    Up-cycled sewing table

    Up-cycled sewing table

    I wanted a big sewing table. I mean BIG. This thing is 1.2m x 1.8m. Now anyone from the US might not understand how but that really is but a living room here is often not that much bigger than this table. Luckily we are currently in a house with a big living room. Now […]

    Best-Laid Plans…

    Best-Laid Plans…

    The plan was to do a 4.5 mile walk starting in Aldbury, Hertfordshire. This is just outside the Ashridge Estate and not far from Ivinghoe Beacon where we walked last week. Please note that I didn’t have a clue where Aldbury was other than in Hertfordshire when we left the house. We packed up our […]

    Ivinghoe Beacon

    Ivinghoe Beacon

    Alan and I did a rather short walk at Ivinghoe Beacon. It is the end point of The Ridgeway and the beginning of the Icknield Way (if I recall correctly).  My pictures do not do justice to the steepness of the hills, but they are short lived.  I am currently in terrible shape.  Between joint […]

    Spanish Omelette

    Spanish Omelette

    I don’t know if my take on the Spanish omelette will make a Spaniard’s eye twitch but it tastes good and is very filling. I start by thinly slicing potatoes (about 9 for my T-fal pot roast pan) and two medium to large onions. Next we season the potatoes and onions. I like salt, pepper […]

    Potted Pin Cushion

    Potted Pin Cushion

    I saw something online….maybe on Pinterest, I don’t know.  It was a cute little donkey planter that had been turned into a pin cushion.  Well, I thought that was a fine little idea as it would maybe make my pin cushion stay put and be easier to aim at when sewing at the machine.  Now, […]
