And here it is, behold: the actual cake that last week was the practice for 🙂 Tis a gluten-free apricot jam cake, recipe tweaked a little from last week (and still not perfect, but better than it was) filled and iced with Italian meringue buttercream, flavoured with pistachios, mashed strawberries and rosewater. Decorated, as per […]

This week, a practice cake. I needed to test out the recipe before using it for a Big Paid Cake ™ so here we are. I’m glad I tested it first, as it does need a couple more tweaks. The verdict in the staffroom was that it was great – but notably, there were still

Some random sketches this week, done over the last two weeks. Honestly, it’s a miracle I’ve had time for these even, the last week has been so busy >.< This one was actually done three weeks ago in my diary during a brain break: This one was down at the local park/playground while the kids

Art, this week. This is a boerboel, or South African mastiff, and this is the (unedited) art for an upcoming Fan Kit, whee! Keep an eye out for that Kickstarter campaign in April, or grab a Fan Kit direct from the Inkprint Press website from May onwards <3 Also this is a quick reminder that

Trying something new this week… Was chatting to friends at work last week about a new way I’m working on of organising my recipes and nightly cooking so that I don’t have to THINK about what to have for dinner, and what to shop for each week, and so on and so forth. We spiralled

Sooo, a bit of a sneaky Made-It Monday today, because really the week has been work-parent-sleep, work-parent-sleep. That’s totally fine, I’m just having to go to bed really early as I recover from ~14 weeks of severe insomnia, so I haven’t had much time or brain for creative… ness. SO in terms of Made-its, this

Le child’s birthday party impends and thus the house is full of various Pokemon-themed crafts in various stages of construction. Last night, it was Pin The Flame On The Charmander time. I decided to splurge and use the copics, because I haven’t used them in two weeks and wanted to crack them out and just

Heh, mostly dealing with insomnia last week and trying to rest in preparation for getting back to work this week. So just super low key, not doing anything too thinky – no writing or even reading, lots of hanging out with friends. Not terribly productive, but a good week. So really, the only makey-things were

As mentioned last week, I spent a lot of time over the holidays doing art stuff, which has been amazing. I’ve been missing art the last few years a lot – I didn’t have time for it much while I was working full time, and it kind of fell by the wayside in uni in

Over the holidays, I took my markers away with me and had the chance to spend a rather idyllic week doing not much other than napping, swimming in the pool, writing and drawing. It was an amazing reset, and I’m terribly grateful for the ability to have that time away from my house, especially with
