Barbie head pendants
These are some pendants I made using Barbie heads, 40x30mm bezel settings, ball chain, charms, beads, rhinestones, and other jewelry findings. I'm not really sure what inspired me at first, I was just using an exacto knife on a Barbie one day(that sounds creepy) and decided to glue it in a bottle cap, which started my new obsession with making these pendants. I just recently opened a little online shop after getting a good response from people on the internet of my pieces.

Yarn Bombing
Yarn bombing/urban knitting/yarn storming, is fairly new popular trend that I am seeing more and more of although I must admit I have not come across any myself (but i would love to!) but my twitter and tumblr feed has been full of pictures of yarn bombing from all over the world, such a beautiful way to brighten up a dull high street I just wish someone would yarn bomb my town center!!!
I do not own any of these images if you know who i should credit please get in touch!

Corned Beef Hash
Ingredients
7 oz (200 g) tinned corned beef
2 large, very fresh eggs
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 rounded teaspoon grain mustard
1 large onion
10 oz (275 g) King Edward potatoes or whatever ones you have
2-3 tablespoons of oil
salt and freshly milled black peppers
Method
1. Start this off by cutting the corned beef in into four ½ inch pieces. Now chop these into ½ inch (1 cm) dice, then scoop them all up into a bowl. Combine the Worcestershire sauce and mustard in a cup and pour this all over the beef, mixing it around to distribute it evenly.
2.Now slice your onion. The potatoes need to be washed and cut into ½ inch cubes, leaving the skin on, then place the cubes in a saucepan. Pour enough boiling water from the kettle to almost cover them, let them simmer for just 5 minutes before draining them.
3. Now heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the frying pan and, when it's smoking hot, add the sliced onions fry them around in the oil to brown for about 3 minutes altogether.
4.After that, add the potatoes and fry with the onions, they also need to be quite brown. Add a little more oil here if necessary, keep turning the potatoes and onions over to hit the heat. After about 6 minutes, add the beef and continue to fry everything to allow the beef to heat through (about 3 minutes).
5.Fry your eggs and serve! (:
