Assorted Babies

I am now a very proud Auntie to an adorable little girl! 

Here is Isla Margaret modelling my blanket:

I can't wait to meet her! And to be honest I'm getting the urge to get the pink yarn out...

More science keyrings!

I've now added two new keyrings to the range: the test tube and the conical flask!!



Still I feel that something isn't right :( they just don't seem to have the professional look that I'm going for...
I think these need more work.

Since it is now October, I have decided that it is acceptable to start Christmassy crafting!

I am now in the process of developing my fruit drying technique! My latest exciting discovery is that you can DO IT IN THE MICROWAVE! Convenient or what?!

Preliminary results shown below:

All 5 slices produced!

A close up of the 2 successful un-burnt slices!

Main findings:
- They burn if you don't pay attention.

Implications for future research:
- Try other fruits too!
- Find a way to dry them out more as they are still kind of sticky - even the burnt ones

The plan now is to see how long they last before going mouldy!
