You guys! Look! Look at what I made. It may have taken me longer than I care to admit (hint: it did), but I’ve made myself a little home on the interwebs!

As you may have spied in my ‘About Me’ section (I promise it’s not too self indulgent), I was very recently gifted with a KitchenAid all of my own. After naming him Bruce (he was made/born in the USA and Hubby and I are rather fond of The Boss…you get the idea), I then set about finding something delicious to make for my maiden cook.

I settled on a David Herbert Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake (drool).

Seeing that delicious, chocolatey, peanut buttery beauty made me realise that there had been a Bruce-sized hole in my cooking life. With Bruce’s arrival, I felt my kitchen was now a little more complete. That I had my own little team. Just Bruce and me. But what next?

I’ve thought about starting a blog for a little while, so with Bruce by my side I thought “what better time than now”? And so it was done (AND without any tears and minimal tantrums due to my lack of website-building savviness).

So what’s this ‘michellemakesthings’ all about? Well, it’s here where you’ll find home to all sorts of Michelle-made ramblings; some of them food-based, some of them crochet-based and no doubt some of them Archie-based (my cat).

So, where will this blogventure take us? I haven’t the foggiest, but I’m sure as heck excited to find out!

Enjoy!
