Crocheted marble fiddle friend

Super-galactic travelling friends,

last week I wanted to make myself a quick little fidget style toy to have in my pocket while travelling to visit my parents. Waiting around for your next train can be boring, I didn't really want to get a book out to read, and my tickets were on my phone, so I didn't want to use it too much because it's getting old and the battery isn't as good as it used to be. Also I have general anxiety, so sometimes having a little thing to fiddle with can be nice, and help get my mind off whatever is bothering me.

And so I went onto Pinterest to get some ideas, and came across marble fidget toys. There were some simple ones, and some cute ones, so I decided to take these two styles and combine them to make my very own marble fidget friend.

I played around with some ideas, but in the end decided to go for a poppet style design. I liked the idea I was transferring any and all of my boredom, anxiety, or stress into the little doll. Also, I love spooky stuff as you know!

And this is how my little guy turned out:

Halloween snack buying has begun!

Super-galactic travelling friends,

It may only be the beginning(ish) of September, but Halloween vibes are already in full swing, from decorations to costumes, to delicious snacks.

I thought this year I'd start early with the purchasing of Halloween snack food to try and make sure I get a chance to try as many as possible, and my first top was Marks & Spencer.

Quick and delicious savoury snack to use up puff pastry

Super-galactic travelling friends,

The other day my partner made a delicious savoury mushroom, squash and spinach feta strudel with pre made puff pastry. Whenever we make something with puff pastry there's always some left over, and we never have a plan for it...well this time I did, in the form of marmite and cheese twists!

What flavour crisps are the London underground lines?

Super-galactic travelling friends, 

the other day my partner and I visited London for the day, and while there it reminded me of a conversation we've had the last couple of times we visited...what flavour crisps are each of the underground lines?

Below is each underground line, and what flavour they could be. Some were fairly obvious in their flavours, while some my partner and I debated about. Let's see if you agree or disagree with our conclusions...

Third time's the charm?

Super-galactic travelling friends, why is receiving a delivery so dang hard!?
