God bless Miss Cakehead. The world is a better place because of her and her cake, especially these Leveson enquiry-themed ones.
Stitching, Petra style.

This has nout to do with craft.
Instead, this is a blatant plug for a friend, Aidan. After years of wanting to do it, he’s taken the plunge and has started a wine blog – Aidan Has A Wine. And, he’s entered a wine reviewing competition and totally deserves to win.
If you fancy learning a bit about a French white, and making a lovely chap very happy, go and watch his video here and ‘like’ it.
People Who Craft are nice, so I reckon at least a few of you will have a look… muchos gracias indeed.

Book #2 of the week.
John Paul Flintoff (yep, that guy who wrote Sew Your Own) has a book book out. It’s part of a School of Life series, and it’s about how to change the world.
I assume you want to change the world? Yes? Good.

I WANT A KNITTED BRAIN.
Thank you Mind Hacks for the link to this wonderful knitted brain hat on Etsy.
I assure you, you must buy this.
I’ve been a big fan of Rosie since she started her amazing venture, DIY Couture. Now she’s only gone and written a book, which I have no doubt will be absolutely brilliant. Please do buy it from here.
And while you’re here, you should DEFINITELY go along to her launch party, on Tuesday 29 May in Hackney. Everyone is welcome. (Don’t fret – I am allowed to tell you all about it, she said I was).
