Hi Misscara. If you hadn't been working you would probably have been tempted away to cakes at the other end of the street Hope your new place is working out well btw. It was a small group at Crafty Pint but still good. First one that Linda has ru…

Raspberry brownies baked this morning to feed the Crafty Pinters

Yes I hope it does go well. Really pleased to see something new that's so positive and creative for young people around here. Surprising in the art cuts climate, but definitely needed. The cafe is open to the public, I'll go and check it out soon.
-
Yes in dreary Feb please. Far too much to do in December and already a lot of indulging lined up. In February we will be desperate for cheer. I promise I will save some sloe gin and do some kind of free workshop if you like.

Epping Forest too, there's a bit near a lake that's laden. It's getting quite late though. I usually pick them in September and get some damsons at the same time. This year it was the end of Sept and most of the damsons were rotting. Still got some,…

Sadly I can't make either of the dates, but very keen to do it if another one is organised.
-
I'd love to do this as well. Thanks Misscara. Maybe we can all whisper our email addresses to you so you get as good a take up as possible once the dates are chosen.
-
Ah I'm really glad you mentioned this! I'm busy on Sat & Sun so didn't even look at the Open House listings, but this is so close I'll be able to get there if I go early. I've wanted to nose in there for ages!

Here's a link for more info and bookings for the bow tie making workshop. People went mad for this one when we did it elsewhere recently, and we have a good range of fabrics so you can make very subtle ones or big loud ones depending on who it's for…

I got the email ok a week ago

I use Art & Soul on Marlborough Rd, Belgravia Workshops http://www.artandsoulframes.com Very good quality, great range of frames, a lovely person, and cheaper than the high street.

I've found the roamer useful a few times, and there's always been a lot of spaces left where I've parked. You have to be a bit careful with the permit / pay & display shared bays though. I parked in a shared bay in Clerkenwell, meaning to leav…

Yes you can make clothes with the fabric we'll print, but you're unlikely to print enough of it in that afternoon itself. Also, you'd probably want to choose your own material as a starting point as we'll only be using a lightweight fabric in a plai…

It is possible to put together a bland meal in Jai Krishna if you end up ordering a bunch of curries that all have the same tomato-based gravy. But I'd never call their Jeera Aloo, Sabji Bahar, Patra, Bhel Poori, Spinach Bhajias or Rasam anything ot…

@Toddlesocks did you see the Crafty Pint thread? You should suggest a workshop for that. Can you think of something that would work in the Stapleton on a Saturday afternoon? They don't mind it getting a bit messy if we protect the floor and tables a…

Great to meet you Misscara! @Margolada, yes come along! Sorry not to post an update sooner, it was a really nice event. Crafty Pint blog Seaside Sisters blog The next one is July 16th & we're printing on fabric with some 50s & 60s inspired …

Quick reminder that it's the Crafty Pint workshop today from 2 - 5pm. I'm baking a rhubarb & custard cake to bring along for people who join in. Here's a peek at the brooch styles we'll be making today.

I'm not usually a fan of those express versions of supermarkets, but Hornsey Road does really need some help. It's been a wasteland as long as I remember. Thanks for posting the Open Street Map. I've seen it used in an iphone app but hadn't looked …

Or the musical saw, you can learn how to make pleasing spooky noises within a few days.

That must be some kind of record. Are you sure someone doesn't just keep replacing the goldfish? Mine always ended up floating lop sided with a weird bit of mould on their sides.
-
@Misscara Great! See you there @missisclack Ah that's a shame, but we'll be doing another in July and if people like the idea I hope it'll become a regular fixture. I've been running around SGR hugging trees in order to tie posters to them with ri…

That website is blinding! I missed this too, a shame as I like a fayre. When is there going to be a nice old fashioned fete with guess the weight of the cake, tombolas and the confusion game with the wire & loop & buzzing noises etc. ? I wa…

Fangs, Bones, Outer Spacers... There's a display of crisps in the Museum of Brands, Packaging & Advertising in West London

Well Boris was down the road at Highbury Corner earlier, opening the East London Line extension
-
I like Haberdashery on Middle Lane. They serve everythng on mismatched vintage crockery and it's a small but pretty looking place. It gets busy on Saturdays though. Hope you have a nice time.
-
I love Petek, but definitely think there's room for a good place with a fire pit and non-fancy seating. Like Bingol on Green Lanes, opposite the Salisbury. They do a dish with cubes of steak and an aubergine tomato sauce that makes me salivate just …

Just read the letter again and the cross-borough parking is only for 10am - 2pm, so no joy for parents wanting to lurk in parking bays for the school run. Well, they'll do it anyhow but not with permission. So should also be less of a problem for ba…

I got that letter too Ian. All welcome changes, though as I live opposite a school, I'll now have to accept that if I drive home with a car full of stuff to unload any time near 3pm, I won't be able to get near my house. I wish more people would wal…
