Everyone else seems to be fixated on pie. Pondering pease porridge. (It's easy to lose a seven-pound black dog in the November nights.) I've been to my very first ever Christmas craft fair. The dog now has a new winter coat. It's reflective! At least with the raspberry vodka, I can skip the mix...

Boo Who!
I get sent a link to the Martha Stewart site by a friend. She had a guy on there showing how to make skeletons out of a pair of white socks. It was so cute, I just had to show the kids. Sophie got super excited, and wanted to make one right away. So we started going through Chris' sock drawer to...
Where did the time go?
The summer was very busy with all the family here - we had such a fun time, but all good things must come to an end. I've finally got around to taking pictures of the 'stuff' I've been doing in the last few weeks, since everyone left. Although I did have one completely non-productive weekend when...
New handbag for Claudie
While Claudine was here with the family in the summer, she brought with her a much loved handbag which was 'dying' - 'Can you make me another, please?' she asked. No problem - but it encouraged me to buy another new 'gizmo' . The front flap of the bag - see below - is embellished with hot-fix...

Star Trekkin' Across the Universe... in 2009.
I was tired, grumpy and headachy. The last thing I wanted to do was go out for a movie - particularly as I'd just spent £60 on repairing my glasses. But my parents callously roused me from my slumber and delivered me to the house of a friend who frequently takes me to the cinema to see movies. I...
The Escape Artist - Act I
I was late! Thanks to an earlier business meeting with two obviously gay clients who seem to be more interested in keeping me than the project. Finally I was able to graciously excuse myself and catch a cab going to Makati. Shit this is so embarrassing! First meeting and I’m freakin’ late....

Design Trend - Owls
Owls first appeared as a design trend back in 2007 but it appears they have some staying power. I recently opened up spin magazine and saw they were doing a small article on cd and music poster art. Staring back at me from the pages was this little guy. I adore owls and I noticed that it isn't just...
