Day 167 - diy pencil case

I found a link to buy one of these on pinterest this morning and after a bit of planning managed to create one in a whizz. It's very cool and practical, it solves the problem I have with rummaging around. Definitely going to make more of these for gifts.

Day 166 - diy notebook

Made a notebook for college with some sections for different subjects and a handy post it holder on the front.

Made from recycled cereal box, a lined refill pad, some old leather, nice fabric and a few bits of card. 

Half way break...

Its been a little while since I've posted anything, thats not to say I haven't been creating things, but its been mostly food and as always I eat it before I think about blogging it. Anyway, I am currently on a sort of holiday (still working) before I begin my new hectic life as a student and worker next year, I intend on continuing my project but it will definitely not be daily, possibly not even weekly. I have hit the half way mark in my 365 (though it has taken me almost a year to complete just that much) I will complete it but who knows when...

In the words of Arnie, "I'll be back..."

For now here are some artistic photos and moments from my last week or so...

Day 165 - star biscuits

So simple and yummy, I didn't have a recipe I just made stuff up and it tasted good so here it is. I made them into stars to honour my new found addiction for Pokemon, which somehow I have missed until now...

100g flour 

100g marge

75g light brown sugar

75g oats

1 tbsp poppy seeds

1 tbsp golden syrup

1 tsp vanilla essence

Cook at about 160 - 180 for 25 minutes, flipping half way. Sprinkle lightly with sugar when cooling. Yum!
