RSS FEED IDEMS: Miss Kerry Turner - A Charmed Life
- A breath of fresh air.
As you can see, I've been tinkering with the site again. I finally got round to ditching the old, table-based layout and redoing it in lovely clean CSS, and I'm delighted with the results. I'll post a bit about how I did it next week - there were some quite ...
- Hurrah! Well, sort of.
It turns out that my sewing machine isn't broken at all - I'm just extraordinarily thick and/or clumsy! While initially somewhat distressing on a personal level, this news has cheered me up enormously. Pyjama pants ahoy!
Top marks to the nice chap in the service department at Singer Direct. He didn't ...
- No, really.
I believe that I may have found the world's most unnecessary recipe.
- Oh, what a beauty!
I've noticed an increase in visitors from Ireland over the past couple of days. I was curious, and did a little probing into my stats. Unfortunately, it's not because I've been mentioned in any Irish magazines or websites - instead, it seems that people are searching for the "Miss Kerry" ...
- I was going to go for a sewing pun here, but I decided to spare you all.
I was hoping to show off the results of my latest hobby today, but it was not to be - the sewing machine that my mum bought for my birthday is refusing to work, so you'll have to wait until I get my replacement before you can admire my fabulous ...
- It is all glamour, you know.
My dear friend Joelle had a belated Easter party this weekend (presumably because we didn't all eat enough last weekend). Tea and cakes and eggs all round! While I can't take credit for any of the delicious baking, I feel obliged to show you the spectacular results of my cake ...
- Sunshine and showers
I had a lovely Easter weekend. Not only did I put away an impressive number of chocolate eggs and assorted truffle-filled novelties (chicks, bunnies, etc.), but I also learned how to make truly delicious Scotch pancakes (or drop scones, if you will). As I'm sure you can imagine, I'm now ...
- Of course, they’re not really that big.
I've always described my bracelets as "wearable art". Thanks to a tip from Mimi over at miSPA, I can finally give them the treatment they deserve!
Of course, I just had to get carried away:
This was all done using dumpr, a neat site that can do all sorts of silly things ...
- 1. Shampoo hair 2. Condition hair 3. Dry hair
If there's one thing I love that isn't jewellery- or geek-related, it's making lists. Actually, that is a little geeky, isn't it?
Anyway, I have just discovered Ta-da List. This is exactly what I need! I write down pretty much everything in my diary at the moment, and it's so full ...
- A belated valentine for Mercedes Colomar
I've just finished creating this rather fabulous charm bracelet. It's called Flor de Muertos, and it's gorgeous - all chunky Art Deco faceted beads and delightfully eccentric skull and flower charms.
The inspiration for this beautiful charm bracelet came from Grim Fandango, a game set in a noirish 1930s Land of ...
