I did, however get a nice scarf in a charity shop which I pulled apart in preparation for a winter hat project, photos to follow…

I highly recommend trying her method, it fizzes, smells funny, leaves an entertaining residue and is really granola!
I’ve decided that in the [...]

Inspired by listinthewoods’ Etsy shop (but discovered through her Bettyninja blog) I had a bit of a play with the camera-within-a-camera thing.

It always annoys me that people don’t make an effort when they hang their veggies from the sukkah, so I brought this along to our services…
