ohhh, they’ve come, they’ve come

and just like Fresholi, it was lightening quick service.

My luverly soap moulds have arrived.  This is the Funky Chunky small loaf one, and I also have the 2 rounded half soap moulds, the pryramid massage slab and the primitive ribbed.
Unfortunately, no soap making for me today though as I have to take Toodles to the [...]

He’s barking mad…but fingers crossed that the lovely Mr Olver makes it

from Bristol to Edinburgh.  I still can’t fathom why this lovely, and slightly chubby (in the best possible way) comedian would even contemplate such a momentous challenge…..but he’s due to leave early next month on quite literally the walk of a lifetime.  The trip is around 400 miles, and he’s going to try and rely [...]

I’ve been wombling, but no crafting as such

I got so desparate for access to a PC at the weekend (with oldest one of the laptop, Guy on his work laptop, and the youngest on the PC in the studio) that I scuttled off and got myself a shiney and handsome Toshiba laptop.  It’s passworded, so none of the little blighters can get [...]

Soap Batch 1 Cut up …. and Batch 2 tucked up in its sleeping bag

here you go – all cut up, bit rough around the edges, but I like my soap like my men!
Worried of Kent though, as it is very soft.  It was pointed out to me last night that I should have run the recipe through Soap Calc, and the lye was a bit off, so not [...]

I’ve just lost my virginity……….

of the soapy kind – nothing rude, trust me!
Not blogged for over a week, as have been so blessed busy at the Kingdom of Blah, and I’ve only really felt like vegging out in front of the telly with a good book – oh yessss, my soap books arrived.
The necessary items were rounded up in [...]

I’ve been lazy, lazy, lazy today

and apart from cooking breakfast this morning, and dinner tonight, have been in my PJ’s all day surfing the net from Guy’s laptop by the log burner……….oh you lazy cow, I hear you all cry!
True, it cannot be denied, but after another frenetic week at work, and then dash to London yesterday afternoon, I’m all [...]

Getting to know my brayer – 101

I salivate over the lovely things pieces of work that Zindorf produces, and have resolved to definitely get to know my brayer.
I’ve set myself the target of doing 101 pieces of artwork with it - not every day, but at least once a week is the plan – and then hopefully by the end of that the [...]
