Wolfmother and Willy Pasta

Just got back from a Wolfmother gig and am writing this with my ears still ringing.

Such an awesome gig though, couldn't take any photos though as I am so short :(

I want hair like Andrew Stockdale!

Just on a funny note I wanted to share with you the comical pasta I bought for Christmas and finally got around to cooking today

Yes if you hadn't guessed that is willy shaped pasta haha!

I am so zonked so before my post turns to tired nonsense I am going to grab the cat and cuddle up with 500 days of summer, I'll let you know how the film was tomorrow and hopefully have some studio update photos for you too!

Studio Inspiration and Curry Hunt

Seen as I have 4 days off now after a long day at work (a whole weekend off work shocker) I am determined to get my studio finally finished, tidy and usable.

I have searching through Etsy Open Studio Flickr Group for some inspiration

There were so many beautiful spaces on there it was so hard to chose so I settled for 2 that were a similar size to my space:

Also today I had an accidental Meat Free day consisting of muffins, spicy noodles and I finally cooked the Potato and Pea Curry except it was Potato and Parsnip Curry, it was nice but I like curries with a bit more heat and flavour so am now on a hunt for some kick ass curry recipes, please please please tell me about any you know!

Another thing, I finally put a new piece up in my shop, its a new, very odd style for me but I'll see how it fairs, check it out:

Check It Out!

Toilet Roll Inspiration

Every time I walk into my toilet I see this

And I have a bag with abut 3 times as many of these in it too and I really want to make something with them, so in true 21st century style I went on a google, flickr and weheartit research rampage and this is what I found:

An awesome artist called Yuken Teruya.

Also...




That's right Manga Toilet Paper :D

Over the past few days Minni has decided she has some favourite new places

In the bath

Her little box which she likes to eat!

Meat Free Monday

Today was my first Meat Free Monday (that was actually on a Monday), unfortunately it was a disappointing one.

I had...

Humous on toast for breakfast

Egg and tomato sandwiches for Lunch

Snacked on baked crisps (which were lovely) a little Milka chocolate (one with strawberry yogurt filling and one with caramel filling, soooooo good) and half a blueberry muffin

For dinner I order veggie chow mein from the Chinese and it was a massive let down, it seems with that Chinese takeaway you take away the chicken and you take away the chow mein flavour. I knew I should have order the Quorn in Schezwan Sauce.

What I wanted to cook for dinner (a probably will later in the week) was a Pea and Potato Curry recipe I found on From Scratch A blog from one of the Red Velvet Art girls.


I have to admit I have a new addiction in the form of www.apartmenttherapy.com
Whilst flicking through its lovely entries I discovered this fantastic chart which should help me get my 5 a day!

Valentines Inspiration

This lovely entry at There's Something Hiding in Here got me thinking about Valentines Day.

I have never been very into Valentines Day but this year it falls on Chinese New Year (which I am much more into) so I thought I might do something, even if it is small.

Looking though Flickr and WeHeartIt gave me lots of inspiration for Valentines Day themed cooking and also Crafting

Introducing Minni: The Cutest Kitten Ever

Finally, last night, I got my beautiful bundle of joy that I have been waiting so patiently for and she is perfect.

So without further ado, here she is:

So darn cute!!

I have been doing quite a bit of cooking again, I'm just going to some it up with a few pictures

Lamb Steak and Accidental Red Rice

Apple Pie that was clearly so good there was only 1 slice left before I could even take a picture, and as for the Chocolate Biscuits I made too they were ALL gone before I could take a photo :D

8 Days Late, But Hey.

I finally took down my Christmas Tree YAY!

I'm hoping that despite it being 8 days after the 12th day of Christmas that I won't be burdened with loads of bad luck.

Actually I know it won't, as tomorrow I am getting are little girl kitten Minni eeeeeek.

Not much to say today as too cosumed with excited and tidying so I leave you with some gorgeous photos found on weheartit.
