Well it’s about time I got round to writing a tutorial about Facebook as I’ve promised so many people that I would. I joined Facebook in April and have written a few posts about it since, mostly offering promotions for my fans etc, but never really disclosed that much information about how to set up a page for your business and how to manage it.

My lovely Colin made me the most perfect lunch recently and I enjoyed it so much that I’ve been making it on a regular basis. It’s a lovely salad made up with salad leaves we’ve grown ourselves and croutons made from our own sourdough bread. You can vary the ingredients to suit what you have – it’s very yummy.

One thing that came out of my hair bobble dilemma yesterday was the discovery of a lovely tutorial on to make a fabulous display tree from which you can hang all manor of things. Karen Jinks of Chalk Hill Studio fame sent me a link and wondered if I could make something like this to display my hair bobbles. I don’t think it’s suitable for my hair bobbles, but I think it’d be great for my mobile phone charms and I know I’ve got some galvanised wire in the shed, so will be making one of these this week I’m sure!

I love making jam. I love the whole process, from picking the fruit, getting all the ingredients together, collecting the jars for months on end and the actual process. It’s so quick and easy that I thought for this week’s Tutorial Tuesday I would share this recipe with you and show you how to make Gooseberry & Elderflower jam.

My watchband is slowly disintegrating and I’m looking for an alternative. I found a tutorial on the Instructables website and think I’m going to make one of these. It looks comfortable and easy enough to make. I just need to get my hands on some cord – maybe something bright and colourful.

This week’s Tutorial Tuesday is going to focus on recycling CDs. I’ve got a ton of old CDs that I’ve been saving as I don’t want to chuck them in the bin and send them off to landfill, so I’ve been searching online for ideas on how to recycle them into something new. I found this great blog post with 22 fantastic ideas.

I want to make some small notepads that will fit into my pocket and that I can carry around and use when out and about. Nothing fancy just something simple that can be made really quickly and effortlessly. So I turned to Google to see if I could find some tutorials out there and I just stumbled across this great little tutorial by Daisy Janie. I think Google read my mind when it led me to this website as this is just what I’m looking for!

This is another fabulous tutorial from the ‘How About Orange‘ blog. Ever need to wrap a present in a hurry and don’t even have any wrapping paper let alone a gift bow to stick to the present once it’s wrapped? Well this is a tutorial for you. You could wrap a present in newspaper and attach one of these fab bows and it’ll look amazing.

I often send out CDs of my work in the post and as I buy blank CDs in bulk, they come without cases and I’m often at a loss as to what to put them in. I found this tutorial and it’s solved my problem in a unique and beautiful way.

This weeks tutorial is brought to you from Design*Sponge. I was looking for a way to jazz up a few empty jars as I wanted to fill them up with spices and give to a friend as a gift and I came across this tutorial on the Design*Sponge website, which was not only perfect and exactly what I was looking for, it also gave instructions of how to apply the same process to pencils! So two tutorials in one here!

I love buttons and have a huge collection of new and vintage ones all over the place – in jars, in boxes and in lots of drawers. When I saw this tutorial, it put a smile on my face as I realised I could stamp everything in site with button patterns or even make some badges with my own button designs.

These little chaps are a cheerful reminder that spring is just round the corner. These chicks would make an excellent Easter craft project for folk of all ages.

This weeks tutorial is brought to you from Creature Comforts. Wouldn’t it be nice to give a gift of chocolate, but to make it personalised rather than branded with ‘Cadbury’ or ‘Nestle’ etc. This tutorial shows you have to take an ordinary chocolate bar and make it into something really special. Maybe you want to celebrate a special event like an engagement or a wedding – you could create lots of personalised chocolate bars, all with little messages and greetings on them.
