Rob Ryan Rocks!!

This week, My Wi Group the Shoreditch Sisters had the pleasure of having Rob Ryan as our guest. Rob is well known for his Paper Cutting, and he is an extremely likeable gent. We were even lucky enough to have had him design a paper cut for me and my sisters to try.

I must admit that once we started cutting, I kept sticking my tongue out with concentration. (I knew my that my photo was being taken). 

Although I didn't manage to finish all the cutting on the night, I had finished by the following evening.

This experience has definitely given me some big ideas for Christmas.

Glass Jar Project - Lavender Bath Soak

Glass Jar Project - Lavender Bath Soak

So I've recently found a fabulous blog called The Spotted Fox, and it gave me idea about what to do with my ever growing collection of glass jars, that I haven't used. Let the Glass Jars Project begin:

Lavender Bath Soak - (thanks for the inspiration Spotted Fox.)

This is relaxing and soothing way to end the day.

What you’ll need:

-1 part Bicarbonate of Soda
-5 parts Epsom Salts
-1 part dried Lavender Flowers
-5-10 drops Lavender Essential Oil

* Mix all ingredients together by pouring into a large container/a zip-lock baggy and shake, shake, SHAKE. I used a zip-lock baggy.

* Store in your chosen jar

* Tie on some pretty yarn around the jar neck and give as a handmade gift to yourself (if your feeling generous give away as a gift), I'm keeping this one so I didn't beau-ti-fi the jar too much

* Add a few spoonfuls to your next bath, if like me you plan to keep it!

Enjoy

Easter Eggs, Eggs, Eggs

Although we have now got easter firmly in the past, I though I should post my homemade attempts at Easter eggs.

Its incredible that some melted chocolate, spinkles and some ribbon should bring so many smiles on Easter Sunday.
