Random babbling about sewing, life and whatever comes to mind.
It’s amazing how you can google almost ANYTHING and find an image… Anyhew This is a pretty busy week (as I’ve probably said before, but hey-ho, I’m getting on). I work full time, and I’m having a tooth out on Wednesday afternoon. This is a really big deal, as I’ve NEVER had a tooth out … Continue reading No zebras, just cake …
The wife’s gone off to London to do some family stuff. I couldn’t go because I had a tuition appointment this morning. I’ve done three loads of washing, played stupid games on FB a lot…and some slightly more interesting stuff. First, I got busy with the cake. I made up a whole LOAD of butter … Continue reading More zebras and some cake progress
Geddit? geddit? I’ll get me coat. Anyway, all I meant was, having had a lovely bacony breakfast, cooked by ma belle femme, we trotted off to the shops and got the required coconut, plus a whole heap of goodies from our local cake decorating emporium… My niece has asked me to make her daughter’s birthday … Continue reading Bacon, bake off

No coconut. Bum. Ah well. I’ll share the recipe while we wait: 2 level tablespoons golden syrup 5 … Continue reading ANZAC day
I can’t go into anything very specifically here. Those of us working in education have to watch our backs out here on the big wide tinternet…but I do want to vent a little evil glee. Some months ago, I had a run-in with a student. He was agressive and threatening. I refused to teach him … Continue reading If karma doesn’t bite him in the ass, some one will…
Well, I had to really, they sent me vouchers… First MyFabrics, then TiaKnight, a terrible temptation as I’m a fan of both. Since making the shirts for the missus, I actually fancy one for myself. I stopped wearing shirts some years ago, when my boobs expanded and RTW shirts all gaped unbecomingly at the buttonholes. … Continue reading Payday and lack of self-control
A short post, and unfortunately rather blurry pics of the work in progress…I promise I’ll take better ones when I get this done! The fabric is of course from The Textile Centre on ebay, I bought 2 panels, each with 3 large orange roses on a random graffiti/newsprint background. Dawn didn’t really fancy large roses … Continue reading Graffiti and roses
