Steampunk Eyepatch
I was busy crafting to the stars today for La Carmina. She asked for something pirate themed that she could wear on an upcomming travel show, so I decided to make a bejewelled light-up eyepatch. I ...

This kit from Hats On Heads arrived this morning and I couldn't wait to play milliner for the day. An hour or two later, my hat was complete. It was lots of fun to make but I'm not sure where I'll...

Key Cards
We found our collection of hotel key cards from our American road-trip. There were so many of them but there's going to be many more after we go back later this year. Mum & Dad came over this...

Urban Angel
Tom took me to see The Host this afternoon. I read the book last year but saw the film had scored 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, so I was worried about how bad it would be. It wasn't that bad actually.

Cartoon Heroes
We just discovered that you can watch our Google video in 3D and I'm such a comic book nerd, I think that's way cooler than it probably is.

Hopping Along The Street
I ordered some new shoes and a squirrel sweater from ASOS and they arrived today. I felt like I should hop along the street in them. We've had an amazing response to our Google video since it lau...

Springbreakers
We went to see Springbreakers at the Cameo today. It was a strange film but I kind of want my own pink balaclava with a unicorn on it too. Afterwards we went for dinner at Prezzo on the bridges. I...

Mini Maker Faire
It was the first ever Mini Maker Faire in Edinburgh today, so we headed along to Summerhall to check it out. It was very very busy with small children everywhere, which made it quite difficult to ...

10,000 Emails
I sent my 10,000th email with Chase-Up today. It's been less than four months since Tom first built it for me and though I'm sending ten times as many emails, I've never been more organized and I'm...

Diedododa
We went for breakfast at The Souther with my parents this morning. I tucked in to their mushroom omelette which was tasty but a little overpowered by goats cheese and a Bloody Mary. Afterwards we ...

Monster Mash
Graham was visiting Edinburgh from Newport today, so we met up with him and Mel for a coffee at Lovecrumbs. The sun was out, so we headed to a pub in the Grassmarket afterwards for cider in the bee...

Mongozo
We needed to have a trusted member of the community sign our book deal, so we met up with Kenny at the pub. He's a teacher and the most respectable person we know. As we were being so responsible,...

Bunnies & Chocolate
It was Easter today, which meant we got to eat chocolate for breakfast and wear bunny ears all day long. Mum, Dad & Nana came over in the afternoon and everyone had a mini egg hunt. All of our...

Nana's Birthday
It was Nana's birthday today, so Mum and Dad brought her through to Edinburgh for presents, cake and lunch at Loch Fyne. I'd picked up a sheep cake which I thought was way cuter than a normal birt...

Our First Book Deal
After nearly a year of waiting, we're finally able to pop the bottle of champagne we'd been saving for getting a deal for the first Cut Out + Keep book. Over the next year, we'll be working with my...

The Daily Spank
It was begining to look very pretty and summery in our office today. We always buy up flowers that are going cheap in the supermarket and our current bouquet is looking very pretty. Tom's old bos...

Snowy Hills
We've been busy trying to design the perfect pair of scissors for Cut Out + Keep's social media icon this week. I love these Eiffel Tower scissors Tom gave me for Christmas - they make me want to c...

Earl Of Marchmont
I've just finished off my latest Crafter To The Stars project which is a Paperdoll Necklace for Twinkie Chan. It was so much fun to make as she's got all kinds of cute accessories in her shop.

Krispy Kreme
Everyone has been talking about the new Krispy Kreme donut shop that opened in Edinburgh a few weeks ago, so we gave in to the hype and heading along to see it tonight with my parents. There was a ...
