Holiday to see the Northern Lights – Iceland 2014 | cwyl
https://cwyl.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/holiday-to-see-the-northern-lights-iceland-2014
All my random interests in one place. Holiday to see the Northern Lights – Iceland 2014. We arrived in Reykjavik to rain, which quickly turned to heavy snow. This was a mixed blessing. When we had landed, the sight of miles of black sand and ash, rocks and dead grass had been a little depressing. The snow made everything look magical. However, the rain and snow meant that the weather was totally unsuitable for seeing the Aurora. We were concerned, but not too much so. The spa uses the heat from the hot v...

New soap moulds and colours | cwyl
https://cwyl.wordpress.com/2015/11/17/new-soap-moulds-and-colours
All my random interests in one place. In Baking and brewing. New soap moulds and colours. The new soaps curing next to the last of the previous batch. After a long while using the soaps I last made, I decided that it was time to make some more so that it had time to harden into better bars before I needed it. I was a bit unsure about justifying spending a lot of money on silicone moulds, and almost as unsure about how easy the cheaper plastic moulds would prove to be when it came to getting the soaps out.

Baking and Brewing | cwyl
https://cwyl.wordpress.com/baking-and-brewing
All my random interests in one place. Blackcurrant Wine after racking into demijohn. Partly because I have an allotment and get gluts of things, and partly because I have a bit of a hippy streak, I love to make things myself. I have recently just started making wine. From the fruits off the allotment – mostly to free up space in the freezer for things that cannot be properly preserved like peas and beans. Gooseberries mashing with yeast.

Second go at soapmaking – going slightly mad! | cwyl
https://cwyl.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/second-go-at-soapmaking-going-slightly-mad
All my random interests in one place. Second go at soapmaking – going slightly mad! Today I have had another go at making soap, and I decided to try several different things with the base soap. This may or may not turn out to be a good idea, but at least the experiment should teach me something. I only have two pieces of soap left from my previous batch, so I needed to make some more now and give it time to cure. Here it is:. Quite a few essential oils. Optional extras for soap. I measured out the oils a...

All my random interests in one place. In Baking and brewing. This Summer’s Blackcurrant Wine. This summer I have started off about 36 bottles’ worth of wine, after a fantastic year last year. 18 bottles’ worth was re-racked last night, and I was surprised to find that it has progressed so far – nearly finished in fact! 8211; within about three months.

Argentine Tango | cwyl
https://cwyl.wordpress.com/argentine-tango
All my random interests in one place. One of my favourite things to do is go dancing the Argentine Tango. I was watching Strictly Come Dancing with Tim sometime in late 2006 and we had liked or disliked various dances in turn, not always in agreement. But on this particular night we saw Vincent Simone. Dance a demonstration of the Argentine Tango. We immediately agreed that if we were to learn one dance, that was the one for us! Vincent and Flavia dance a stage version of the Argentine tango, which has m...

The Allotment | cwyl
https://cwyl.wordpress.com/the-allotment
All my random interests in one place. I have had a council allotment near my house for about seven years, and while this year has not been the best ever, I have had a few triumphs. This year, the beetroot worked, the blackcurrant bush outdid itself (and the capacity of my freezer), and the sage went mad! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Acceptance, A Start Date, & More Cute Fabric ~ Mom and Her Drill
http://www.momandherdrill.com/2013/04/acceptance-start-date-more-cute-fabric.html
Mom and Her Drill. Monday, April 1, 2013. Acceptance, A Start Date, and More Cute Fabric. Simply put: I was dreaming. And I always feel kind of cranky when my hopes get crushed. You'd think I'd stop hoping for sh*t and just settle down and accept life the way it is. You'd THINK. So I had to call the bank. Otherwise this was never going to happen. And I mean never. In the midst of my depression though - I figure we might as well enjoy the process right? I found those at my local Rite Aid for $1 each!

More Tiny Beach House, Y'all. ~ Mom and Her Drill
http://www.momandherdrill.com/2015/05/more-tiny-beach-house-yall.html
Mom and Her Drill. Friday, May 22, 2015. More Tiny Beach House, Y'all. I closed on this house yesterday. I know. MOMENT OF SILENCE PLEASE! This is my goodbye-post for 15 Wilson Drive, Tybee Island Georgia, the center of my existence for 3 years. :P. I never even got to finish all my custom window treatments etc etc etc. I will probably always be sad about that. And yes I have an extra kid in this pic). I'm not sure. We'll see. Saturday, May 23, 2015. Have a fabulous summer! Thursday, May 28, 2015. Tyana,...
