OK, despite me slightly messing up the dough, this was absolutely bloody delicious!

Tastes a lot like an apple doughnut but without the hassle of frying.

Today’s focaccia is Brown Butter Apple Fritter Focaccia. First time I’ve tried this so fingers crossed.

Bought this wee photography cube yonks ago but never got round to trying it. Rather irritated that I haven’t been using it because it’s actually pretty good, although only work for small things. But it does mean I might be able to photograph at night, which is great at this time of year.

Reminder: your phone camera has a lens and it can get very grubby!

The bookshelves in question - they’re by a company called BrickBox and they were a pricy indulgence and I still love them SO MUCH.

Lacey Ostermann’s brown butter cinnamon roll focaccia. This recipe isn’t in her book but you can find it online. @catvincent.bsky.social declared this one ‘a real winner’ and I thought it was delicious too.

Made focaccia using the Lacey Ostermann recipe from her book 3 Doughs, 60 recipes. I didn’t quite nail it (my dough was slightly too soft, so it’s denser and flatter than it should be) but it’s very definitely bread rather than flatbread and it tastes delicious. A successful first experiment.

I’ve not been great at posting my art lately (I’ve still been making every day but not documenting so well) but I’m trying to get back to it both here and over on Instagram.

Here’s a completed page in my collage journal.

More finished Happenstance cards. This is a lockdown project that got a little out of hand - these are cards 452-455 in the ongoing series! All made from blank business cards measuring 5.5 x 8.5 cms

A finished page in my Scraps journal. I do love those angular Letraset quotation marks.

Today’s art is an unusually empty art journal page. I don’t often use this much white space but I just couldn’t bear to lose that gorgeous ink stain with all its lovely colour separation and oxidation.

Time for some more art. Another finished page in my Scraps journal.

Another finished journal page, this time in my Scraps journal.

This is a journal where I use up some of my waste paper, so many pages, including this one, have paper collaged into the background as texture.

Two completed pages in my collage journal. This is one of my favourite journals to work in.

OK, let’s try this with an image.

This is a finished page in my monochrome journal. More details in the alt text and more images on my Instagram.

Luna will only sit on my lap if a cushion is provided.

Happy Halloween!

The current state of play showing the terraced beds made from recycled plastic timber. It’s very skeletal right now, it’s going to be clad with blue painted wood.

The next visit will be putting the plastic baseboards on, getting the gravel back down and topping up with manure and more soil.

During the build, it’s much further on now.

Success!

Bought Luna a cat bed to stop her stealing my computer bag and after some initial suspicion, she’s actually using it.

Oh, did you want your computer bag? Tough, it’s my cat bed now!

Luna loves to touch her people. If she’s near one of us, she’ll almost always be making body contact. It’s very adorable.

Our Luna says hello to your Luna.
