Waste Not Want Not

Every year in the UK we throw away £12 billion worth of food which could have been eaten. Love Food Hate Waste is a campaign from WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) which shows that by doing easy practical everyday things in the home we can all waste less food, which ultimately benefits our purses and the environment too. If we all stopped wasting food that could have been eaten, it would have the same environmental impact as taking 1 in 4 cars off UK roads. lovefoodhatewaste.com has lots of delicious recipes to use up leftovers, handy hints and tips for storing food to make it last longer, a portion calculator to help you cook the right amount, and information on what food date labels mean. There is something for everyone, whether you are a keen cook, or simply want to reduce the amount of food which you throw away.

Too Many Projects Not Enough Time ...

Oh dear - while doing my usual "blog hopping" (finding one cool blog then jumping to one of their recomendations and so on) I have found a couple more projects that are too cute to pass up.

I think a little mouse will soon be on its way to my new nephew, Oskar, and the ambulance is a must for my step-daughter as her daddy is training to be a paramedic and she loves dressing up in his high vis.

Jodie at Ric-Rac is an incredible inspiration.

I will keep you posted on my progress. And if I get brave I'll post my efforts on the Ric-Rac website.

Tied to My Apron Strings

Well I've been browsing the web again and have found another delightful website devoted to one of my weaknesses - vintage style aprons.

This site is sheer heaven - so my next project must be to make and submit an apron of my own!

New Year Blues and Blog Envy

Well clearly I have blown my New Year's Resolution to "Blog Daily" which I made in a moment of high optimism and possibly under the influence of Christmas alchohol - having blithely ignored the fact that my FMS is often so bad in January and February that I can barely string a sentence together verbally let alone on screen.

So on top of feeling blue because I just do at this time of year, I also get to kick myself for setting unrealistic goals and also for not living up to them. (Yes I know there is no logic to kicking myself for both, I just do!)

As a simultaneous punishment and delight then I love to visit worthier bloggers than I who do blog frequently and whose blogs and lifestyles awaken in me a deep envy.

My latest favourite is Wee Wonderfuls a blog so, cool cute and perfect that I want to be its best friend and keep it in my pocket.

So check it out, but don't forget to come back, I'm officially out of hibernation now!
