May so far has been pretty good fun overall but it is too busy for me. I've been 'up north' twice - Cambridge and Norfolk being up north for people who live in the deepest South (Brighton) I've been to circus acts, burlesque, dance for the festival and the fringe... Continue reading

Itty Bitty Rabbit

A couple of months ago I blogged about making this rabbit which I was making for my other new nephew, Freddie who was born in March. We finally got to meet him this weekend and so it was time for a new scarf and a few stitches for his mouth...... Continue reading

The Baby and the Blanket

I am having such a lovely weekend. Sleep deprived but nonetheless pretty lovely and it's still the weekend because it's Bank Holiday! YES! The sun is shining and I'm writing this in the garden with both children sitting in a sledge on the patio munching ice cream. Forget the frenzied... Continue reading

Sun, sea, batman

The last few weeks have been filled with going to the beach in the sunshine... ...watching Ruby learn to skip. And then watching Ruby skip at every available opportunity. And arguing about her skipping in the kitchen or skipping when she isn't changed for school. Ebaying and decluttering like a... Continue reading

5 - The Rainbow Cake

It is an age ago, Ruby's birthday but I have finally got around to blogging about THE CAKE. I originally started baking the Martha Stewart version on the Thursday but despite measuring out the batter to the gram and going through all the hassle of dye-ing all the layers, it... Continue reading

Clutter clutter clutter

Oh my days I am surrounded by clutter. Clutter is just spewing from every box we unpack. Just like last time. Items that are not used, don't fit, are completely unneccessary, not wanted, not appreciated. Papers? Don't even get me started on that! Everything in the last few weeks has... Continue reading

Yes, they are upside down. It is not deliberate. Probably one of the reasons I have not been in this space for some time is because I was very busy with a certain little girls birthday party last weekend and I've also been unpacking endless boxes of things and rediscovering... Continue reading

We're in the new house! There are boxes EVERYWHERE. Moving day was just endless, there was so much to clear out of our rental. We definitely have more stuff than last time when we moved, bunk beds, another bed, a picnic table, toys, toys and more toys (and more crafty... Continue reading

May Cause Miracles

In the new year I read this post on the healthy crush blog (one to follow) and I went straight out and got the book. I was definitely up for a bit of New Year Inspiration. In her own words Gabrielle Bernstein 'shows up' for her work, guiding people to... Continue reading

It was bloody cold all yesterday and snow was in the air. When we woke up this morning it was everywhere. Lots of cars wonkily parked in the street where people had decided to try but absolutely failed. It took the school until EIGHT to give us parents the green... Continue reading

Happy Mother's Day

Brighton Half (Again)

At the beginning of last week I LOATHED myself for signing up for this race again. Training in December and January was scant and underwhelming. The dark nights, the ice, the interrupted sleep... I knew I was hugely underprepared. On Thursday I spent half the day in bed sleeping off... Continue reading

Crochet & knitting 2013

Wow, this is the first crafting post for a LONG time. Don't know what happened to January, there seemed to be a fair amount of bad news and snow from what I can recall. I just kept my head down and took the children to school, met friends and tried... Continue reading

Hey, thanks for visiting my blog. Glad to hear that romance is not dead in your neck of the woods either ;) Good luck with the placemats, I must sew some washable ones, I am sick to death of having to clean the woven ones every morning from porridge oats. Will check back to see how you get on. I am not allowed (self imposed) to start anything new until I have hit up my craft list of unfinished projects that is up on the wall. It is mid february and I have no finished projects for 2013 yet! It's getting desperate!And I second pinterest. Are you on it?

Valentine be mine

Happy Valentine's lovers. Anyone ACTUALLY get a card? I used to get a card every year from my dad. They were always very poor quality cards sent second class and the address was always written in a beautiful calligraphic hand. I do miss those cards. An age ago a card... Continue reading

I've been cracking on with the sleeves for the jumper this weekend. I got another 20cm of length finished before I realised I had made a big mistake with the cable pattern and was including 2 rows of pattern that shouldn't be there. I spent all Thursday evening babysitting getting... Continue reading

Jumper Jumper Jumper

I'm trying to finish all my UFO's (that's unfinished objects) before I start anything new in 2013. So I pulled this flipping jumper back out of submission in November, I finished the back neckline which had eluded me and now I just have two sleeves and a neckband to do.... Continue reading
