Tobin the Pancake

As Will poured out the last of the pancake mix he declared that this pancake was called Tobin.
It was the only pancake he'd decided to name.
It's also the only pancake that, once flipped, had a face.

Then we ate him.

Moomin

These are some late Christmas gifts that were given to us when mum and dad came down last weekend.
I love the Moomin illustrations.
The jar is from my brother and his girlfriend and the cups are from mum and dad but they were all gathered and brought over here to us by my brother and his girlfriend from their trip to Finland at Christmas.
I'm so pleased with them and am quite excited by the fact they've actually travelled all the way here from a Finnish shop.

I'm looking forward to making some biscuits and putting them in our new jar :)

Cromer

Mum and Dad came to visit at the weekend. On Saturday morning we went for a windy trip to Cromer before it rained.
I love the seaside when it's cold.

There are a few more photos on my flickr.

I Got Mentioned In The Paper!

The Craft Room was featured in the local paper, Norwich Evening News, yesterday.
It's very exciting!
Bryony is holding one of my cushion covers in the photo which is awesome enough and then I also get my name mentioned in the article too. And they spelt my surname right which, believe me, very rarely happens.

The article is online here.

Please pop in if you're around Norwich and please spread the word about the shop to anyone who'll listen.
It really is quite a lovely place full of all sorts of different things and has new items coming in all the time.

Me Mostly

There should really be a cup of tea somewhere in this picture.

The Snow: Look Up

And that is that for the snow.


There are some on flickr that I didn't put on here so if you're interested go have a look here.

Comics I've Read Vol.7

Swamp Thing (a bit vague but I can't remember which one it was) - Written by Alan Moore, Pencils by Stephen Bissette, Inks by John Totleben
The drawings in this were really pretty.

Two-Step - Written by Warren Ellis, Pencils by Amanda Conner, Inks by Jimmy Palmiotti
I was amazed at how much bad colouring can ruin a good drawing.

Transmetropolitan: Back On The Street - Written by Warren Ellis, Pencilled by Darick Robertson
This was really good. I do wish he'd stayed all hairy like he is at the beginning.

French Milk by Lucy Knisley
This made me, even more, want to go to Paris.
