Vegans! Vegetarians! Anyone who likes cooking / eating amazing LIFE-CHANGING food! Here is my attempt at writing up a recipe for "daler bora", a treat from my childhood which is a lot easier to make with a food processor than it was for my mum having to grind the lentils using a rolling pin. Enjoy!
Lentil Fritters (“Daler Bora”)
If you’re vegetarian / vegan and you haven’t tried these, you are in for a TREAT. They are like a mash-up between falafel and onion bhajis and taste better than both. The recipe below i…

It’s that time of year again, where I remember how a mammogram saved my life five years go, and I proceed to hold my breath while I await my scan results. Don’t put off your mammograms, people with breasts: five minutes can make all the difference…

My clever dad plays the mandolin and banjo but he was frustrated that finding a string winder for a smaller instrument was a trial so he made some himself! Aren’t they beautiful 🤩 I might be able to offer some for sale with an option to personalise with initials. #music #banjo #mandolin #strings
Four wooden string winders in various woods.

Two photos, one showing side view, one front view. Oval wood slice with bark edge and burned design showing an orange octopus with green mossy bits and tiny white mushrooms growing on her. She sits under two red and white amanita mushrooms. There are plants in tones of brown and yellow that resemble gorse at either side. It is raining, the rain falls down across the scene and splashes on the deep green floor underneath the octopus. The huger background is a more vibrant green.

A little work in progress, still so much to do.
Hand burned onto the wood.
Work in progress on a circular wooden tray with burned design showing tentacles. My arm and the burner are in the photo. My arm is not very exciting.

I wanted new placemats for the dinner table for Christmas but they all seem to come in packs of 4 and I needed 5. I had a rummage in the loft, dug out some suitable fabrics and made some. They’re far from perfect but they cost me nothing but time.
Five fabric placemats folded in half, last one on the right have the corner folded to show the green fabric underneath. Topside fabric is ivory with a green and red leaf print. They sit on a wooden table.

Valknut goblet (an old one I forgot I had!)

It is old, it already had paint on the inside, as you can see in one of the photos. The spalting in the wood is beautiful.
Hand burned design to the front.

“Telling the Bees” wooden clog.

You can easily get size 9s in there, though I’d keep it as a show piece rather than a fashion statement 🤣
34cm - 11.5cm - 12.5cm
£56 inc Uk p&p
Large wood clog with scorch marks around details. Details include bees, honeycomb, beehive and text that reads “little bee our Lord is dead, leave us not in our distress”.

Reluctant sale! Purple crochet waistcoat, I sadly made it a bit too big. For reference I am a size 14, you can see in one photo how much I can pinch at the sides & crochet has some give to it. Price doesn’t reflect the time & material cost!
