We then decided to take a drive and ended up in Musselburgh.

We then took a walk along the river to see the ducks.

I've finally finished my Union Jack cushion which I started in September 2010 and had to put away for six months while we went to America.

It feels so good to have finished it, even though the shops had started selling them and cut their prices for the sales since.

We did treat ourselves to waffle cookies with coffee and the movie, Marie Antoinette back at the Mews afterwards though.

For dinner, we had homemade pizzas with homemade mozzarella and Epic Ale homebrew.

We were sent a DIY Cheese Making kit from Urban Cheesecraft and decided to give it a go today.

It was fun watching the curds and whey separate and seeing the cheese take form. We made mozzarella in the end which was surprisingly simple.

We tested a little on bruschetta with pesto and it was delicious. I can't wait to try making ricotta next time. When we told Dad that we were making cheese, he said "you're turning in to that guy from Blur", to the horror of Tom who doesn't like Alex James.

We put our birdhouse outside for the first time. It had a webcam inside, so we're excited to see if anyone moves in.

I'm going to make a little feeder in the next few days to help attract some birds to it.

Tom designed me some stampers for Crafter To The Stars and they arrived this morning.

There's three designs in different sizes and I love them so much. It was great timing too, as I have another two projects to ship off to lucky stars.

It was Lynsey Munn's birthday today and I made her a moustache necklace as a present.

I know that they're EVERYWHERE but I couldn't resist because she'll suit it so much.

It got really stormy in the evening with strong winds, rain and even gigantic hail stones. Crazy weather for May!

Mum and Dad came through to visit today so we headed down to Stockbridge to enjoy the "last day of sunshine before the storm".

We went to Project Coffee today and had a really tasty flapjack.

We're starting a routine of trying out a new recipe every Friday to improve our cooking skills.

I decided to start with spaghetti bolognese from Jamie's Italy, using fresh rosemary from the garden. It was really tasty and easy - you just had to leave the Ragu to simmer for a couple of hours.

Tom and I were also interviewed on Folksy today!

I was sent a pack of Esslack food spray paints this morning and they're amazing.

I have so many project ideas for these. We're going to be giving away sets of them on CO+K next month, so keep your eye out!

We launched the Snippets 26, The Road-Trip Issue today with former Pussycat Doll, Melody Thornton on the cover. We started this issue while in Omaha so it felt so good to get it finished after nearly a year!

We tried to take a relaxing walk along the canal this afternoon but it quickly turned stressful and dangerous, when dozens of cyclists decided to speed their way home along the path. We didn't get very far before having to turn back in fear.

Tom spotted a bear in a chair on the way home.

After many failed attempts, I've finally got the hang of bokeh photography.

It's so pretty and really easy to make your own lens. I've added a how-to to Cut Out + Keep if you want to give it a go!

Traffic lights work really well for this. I took these photos on the walk home from the shops.

I couldn't resist making my own version of the cameo necklace. They're so much fun to make.

Tom and I were interviewed for a new website called Sprklng. As part of the interview, we got to give our interviewer Saar Babbel a challenge. We asked her to find a copy of the first album she bought on vinyl and turn it in to an awesome craft project.
