There is nothing like a nice cold glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Particularly if consumed with a fry up and a coffee (just my personal choice haha!). Unfortunately in my quest to go zero waste, though the milk man does offer orange juice in the same glass bottles the milk arrives in, it’s unfortunately this sickly sweet synthetic tasting …
I have a bit of a fixation with second hand shirts from charity shops. I go a bit magpie and get attracted by all the pretty patterns. They’re usually from the 80’s and sometimes men’s shirts. As you can imagine they aren’t always the most flattering shape, this shirt being a case in point. But I love the pattern and …
A few months ago I got a bit carried away at the fabric shop and brought three different colours of stretch velvet. I started on the offcuts table and then discovered all the other colours from there! A long time ago I pinned this little number on my Pinterest board, its sold by Oliveclothing.com and I really wanted to recreate …
We recently made a very middle class splurge and brought an exceedingly posh blender. I am very much in love with it, apparently it can blend an iphone but I shan’t be trying that for now. This is my first smoothie in this blender. I’ve never been much for recipes, I prefer to improvise, so I looked at what we …

You don’t NEEEED beautiful organic cotton produce bags …
This week I’ve spent most of the weekend organising the pantry. Mr Womble kept buying duplicates of everything, I kept telling him off and he pointed out (I suppose rightly) that how was he to tell what half the stuff was. I have a habit of throwing stuff in jars without labelling them (I usually chuck part of the …
After I decided I wasn’t going to make my own wedding dress. I set to work on hubby to be’s shirt for the wedding. I’ve made a few shirts in the past, some for me, some for Mr Man, so I figured this would be easy. I had a well fitting shirt for Mr Man already so all I had …
A life long goal of mine was to make my own wedding dress. It was going to be the pinicle of my sewing life – a culmination of everything I have learnt so far into one of the most meaningful items of clothing a person can ever wear. I did a lot of research into this, I brought THE wedding …
