For Bella

This first post for June is dedicated to my darling rat Bella who was put to sleep a couple of days ago.

Rats aren't for everyone but I have had 15 at one point and we love them.  Bella was the eldest of my rats and we had her for 2.5 years, she started getting tumors and had about 3 in total.  Even though she was living her normal life as usual, one of the tumors was getting too big and she was becoming really skinny and was unable to groom herself.  To keep her around longer would have been too selfish on our part.

So she is now over the rainbow bridge with her sisters and I still have 12 little monkeys left.

RIP my sweet Bella, you were the best rattie ever! :)


She loved tea!

Kitchen stuff

We are currently packing up our little apartment to move to a much bigger house (fingers crossed we get the keys on Monday!) which is why I have been a bit absent lately.  All of my jewellery tools are away and packed as well as my polymer clay for my cake toppers.

What I have been doing is getting slightly obsessed with baking and the kitchen.  I have been buying some new things for the kitchen and he is what I have bought.

I love this little coffee machine and the colour is awesome, I also got the matching kettle!


Finally my new mixer has arrived and I LOVE it!  I haven't tried it out yet as I only took it out of the box for a look and then it had to get packed away again for the move. 



I think like most people I had the Kitchenaid V Kenwood debate in my head over and over, I always wanted a Kitchenaid but then I found this beauty and it had so many good reviews.  I can't wait to get into the new place and start using it.  Notice that it is red and not blue, thought I would mix it (no pun intended) up a bit.

I have always loved cooking because quite frankly I love food!  I even went to college and studied it and although I don't do it as a profession I enjoy cooking at home.  I have always thought about starting a foody blog too as I think this one would get a little overcrowded if I started adding my baked goods as well.

Soooo watch this space and hopefully my tools will be back out again soon, just in time for the Christmas shopping :)

Stuff I really, really want...

So today I was just admiring my favourites on etsy, as you do, and thought I would share.
First up is this uh-mazing scarf from TheFaerieMarket in fact I love her whole shop but this scarf is my fave, although now I am having trouble trying to decide which colors I like best.


Next up is this purse/wallet from MoxieandOliver the reason I love this so much is because it is big and has 2 zips!  I live in France and work in Switzerland so I always have 2 currencies on me and I would like to keep them seperate.  Makes life much easier when you are rooting around for change!  I think this will be my next purchase, this purse makes me happy :)
