(aka: A Hair Odyssey) I have always (always) wanted to dye my hair blue – BUT the whole bleaching my hair thing put me off because, let’s face it, my hair is not exactly in the best condition to start with. (We have a love/hate relationship, me and my hair.) Since I’m embracing the last […]

Tree of Life
I’ve always loved Tree of Life pendants. I received a great one from a swap on craftster many moons ago: I never tried to make one myself because I figured I couldn’t. It looked too complicated. Plus… Well… You know me. Give me a bunch of wire and there’s a pretty good chance I’ll poke […]

The Ending That Should Have Been
It’s a well known fact that my favourite movie of all time is Francis Ford Coppola’s version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. My heart just melts when I watch it. (Incidentally, my husband HATES the film.) BUT I can’t watch it the whole way through. I stop it right when the men walk into the asylum, […]

Bingo!
In December last year, my husband’s grandmother had a serious stroke. You can imagine how we felt… The year before his mother went into hospital and was diagnosed with cancer at about the same time. It didn’t look good. It was so bad, in fact, that his father flew all the way home from China. […]
