Petite Post - Finding The Lower Limit Of Postal Dimensions

Royal Mail has quite a lot to say about the maximum sizes and weights of items to be posted, but surprisingly little about the minimums.

This is the start of a little project to try to discover just how small an item can be successfully posted.

Recycled Christmas Card Gift Boxes

These little gift boxes are made from recycled Christmas cards - they're easy to make and can be filled with tasty treats or small gifts for the tree or as stocking fillers.

Self-Organising Custard Pie

This is a baked custard pie with a difference - because it essentially makes itself.

All you do is mix all the ingredients and bake - and when it comes out, it has a soft pastry crust on the bottom, and a moist wobbly custard filling on top.

Spiced Apple Scones With Quick Blueberry Compote

These moist and crumbly apple scones are delicious just split and buttered, or spread with jam.

Even better, this recipe also includes a quick, simple blueberry compote that complements them very nicely.

Making A Recycled Plastic Boat

Many of my past projects have thumbed their noses at convention or have been absurd, foolhardy or otherwise non-conformist, but this one extends the boundaries further than ever.

I'm going to try to make a boat by recycling plastic bottles.
