My first quilt

i've been working on a quilt for g for his birthday. It's my first ever quilt and i don't have fancy cutting boards or knives just some sharp fiskars and the contents of my wardrobe so i'm doing it in squares. i have about 100 of my estimated requirement of 150 and i found a back, it's an ols curtain i found in a charity shop, it's gold and fancy :)

Tara's bloody amazing chocolate cake

So because g had taken such good care of our pizza needs all night on the 29th i thought he might need a cake the next day as a thank-you. i thought i'd try a new chocolate cake with some tasty icing,so i looked in sarah kramer's'la dolce vegan' to see what we had ingredients for and we had everything for tara's icing,so i made it. Then i looked at cakes and we had everything for tara's chocolate cake too so i made it,baked it,cooled it,iced it,marked it with a 'g' and we all tasted it...it was amazing!like really amazing and you should make it now!and invite me to your house to eat it!or bring cake to me!mmmm...

First Annual Vegan Pizza Day Saturday 29th January 2011!

This was my tasty pizza! It had linda mccartney sausage,olives,the tastiest tofu ricotta from the 'vegan with a vengeance' cookbook,red onions,peppers,and aubergine and courgette in olive oil. G made the most amazing dough for the three of us-his brother was over-and a bangin sauce and we ate a couple of pizzas each and chilled all night.i think we might've watched jersey shore 'cause neither g nor i knew what it was,they like to fuck huh!

Christmas in the U.K.

We spent the bird's first Christmas in the Shire with family.She was really spoilt and handled a lot.
We got some vegan cookbooks, i got a knitting book-yarn bombing,we got food,g got beer,the bird got so many clothes,play mats,sooty and sweep puppets!,books-she loves books and she had a blast with all the wrapping paper,she even pooped some out.
It was nice to spend time with g's family for a change as we stayed in his mom's lovely house this time,i don't think my mom was impressed but it had been planned that way for a year so it wasn't like it was sprung on her and she was over every day to see the bird. We were surrounded by lovely decorations and food.It inspired my to go all out this Christmas even if it's just for the three of us,although people are welcome.g's sister had a cool book that i've bought for inspiration-The Christmas Book by Sheherazade Goldsmith.So i need to get on it,this year i don't want any of that guilt that comes with being a disorganised pooro,people need presents and gifts.i still haven't thanked everyone that sent baby gifts and she's six months,i know that's terrible,the guilt is slowing me down.
