Tangerine Lemon Curd | Joy the Baker

http://joythebaker.com/blog/2011/01/tangerine-lemon-curd

January 23, 2011. I go to church in Hollywood. Most every Sunday. I step over super gross, drunken Saturday night vomit, club promo cards, discarded hair extensions, gum wrappers and street hot dog remnants. I kid you not. Hollywood is nuts. Watch your step. Some questions arise when I go to church. Is it rude to shush a chatty couple in church? Is it rude to ask a once chatty couple to stop making out during church? I love my church. I do. Have you ever made citrus curd? I also like these Brown Butter B...

Living with a boy: Tree project - the beginning

http://leaving-the-seat-up.blogspot.com/2009/09/tree-project-beginning.html

Living with a boy. Wednesday, 9 September 2009. Tree project - the beginning. A couple of months after we had moved in together we were sat on the settee watching television and the boyfriend commented on how much the tree outside had changed since we'd been living here. It had gone from a barren, twiggy mess to having a million little buds adorning his (her? We live on a main road so greenery is few and far between. This tree peers in the window at us morning and night. When they come to stay. Ive thoug...

The elusive purple poppy and other stories… | peppermints & poppies

https://peppermintpoppies.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/the-elusive-purple-poppy-and-other-stories

Where life imitates art. The elusive purple poppy and other stories… June 28, 2011. 8212; Katherine @ 5:03 pm. I waited two weeks for the other bud to unfold and the SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN! What are the chances? Obviously the purple poppy and our garden were not meant to be. This morning I noticed the universe had arrived at a compromise, and a half red, half purple poppy had snuck up in the night. One of the girls has found out the flavour (pink! What else do you need in a baby yarn? The other thing ...

Super Cute Scandi Style Embroidery. May 19, 2014. Some of you may remember a previous post. Of mine discussing a deal that I made with my son. So when I signed up to a blog-world mass crafting event I knew that I would have to make something for our home. After all… a deal is a deal, and we shook on it. So here’s the finished project, my super cute scandi inspired cushion cover embroidery. And the Monkey is ever so pleased with it. To quote him, “it’s fantastic mummy, its awesome”. Or how about Scandi-fy...

Happily poddling along...: May 2011

http://poddleblog.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Monday, 30 May 2011. A bit of brightness for the long weekend. Another big high for me was an email that was waiting for me this morning from Sascha at Piccoli Piselli. I won the amazing Pea Pod carrier she was giving away for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day! Isn't it just gorgeous? We get them flying over here almost daily so even that is perfect. Thank you Sascha. You've made my day. :). And a big thank you to Ana over at Stash Avalanche. I knew I liked the idea of that giveaway day. Sunday, 29 May 2011.

Myrtle & Eunice: Pfff...Pfff...Pfff...Pfff...

Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Er, no. I have not been away having a baby. But there’s a lot of head firmly in hands. I have been a crapola friend because I am never around and when I remember to return a call it is 3am. This has proven generally unpopular. I have shrunk (it’s not like I had a height excess thing on my side) as my spine slowly compacts with all the sitting about bizzo. TENACIOUS LITTLE GUY MADE MY HEART BELT OUT A BLOODY SHOW TUNE. Orange fungus is an excellent reason to drop in and say stuff.

The Making, Baking and Consumption of the Best Chocolate Bundt Cake ever. May 10, 2010. We have a system around here, don’t we? I bake something every few days, take pictures of it, and post a handful of those pictures in this little wedge of the Internet. What would it look like if I showed you a whole bunch of everything? The chocolate. The cake. The clock. The hike. The traffic. The indecision. The bourbon. The whole dang day! Duh It’s important and frankly, I can’t help myself. These are my stairs&#4...

Anna Maria Horner: The Stitch

http://annamariahorner.blogspot.com/2010/03/stitch.html

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. I've put together photos words that detail how I go about hand quilting. Quilting is such a vast topic with various approaches. This here is simply addressing the very stitch itself, as in how I start, stitch and finish each thread. To me there always seemed to be some mystery to the actual stitch and that classic motion of making it. Then I learned that you just have to begin. Once popped through the quilt top, the knot will then be hidden in the inner layers and not visible f...

Mme Zsazsa: Grow your own vegetables

http://mmezsazsa.blogspot.com/2010/05/grow-your-own-vegetables.html

Thursday, May 13, 2010. Grow your own vegetables. I've been growing my own vegetables for some years now, and I grow by crop rotation, which I will elaborate on another time - in short: all vegetables are grouped by crop type and those groups are planted on another bed each year to avoid the risk of diseases and soil depletion. Not all that easy, but I guess you gathered that. But everything is possible with a thorough system and I just happen to be an organizing genius. On the right, you can see my seed...
