Regarding Balance
One day, late in 2012, I looked up from my computer, crawled out from a pile of yarn, put my camera down and opened my eyes. I saw a house that was messier than I have ever lived in, a... Continue reading

A Year Well Lived.
2012. I have been staring at this post for awhile, trying to figure out what to say to you, my readers, on this last day of the year. It feels awkward to rehash this year and "thank you" is too... Continue reading

Non-Dairy (Scottish) Egg Nog
I am not quite sure what came over me, but on Christmas Eve, I was gripped with the burning need to make egg nog. Not being generally picky, I would have been happy to buy some at the store, but any eggnog, let alone the non-dairy variety, is non-existant this side of the pond. And so ...

Just 3 of Us
A rare treat - 2 parents and 1 big boy, with an opportunity to do something that we couldn't do if the toddlers were around. Just to be together, laugh, eat deep fat fried food and be just the three of us. Kevin won, Ellis can bowl a mean spare and I may have whined "But I should ...
Yay!! Being a designer is awesome! The math is a pain, but it does get easier, I promise!! Good luck!

How To Design a Hat (Part 2: The Math)
For the Math-a-phobic, stay back. There are sime heavy calculations going on below. There is nothing wrong with making a hat by eyeballing it or going by a pattern. This is just the way I like to torture blog readers. No really, this is most useful for people wanting to write their own...

Artists Shouldn't Procreate
Lying in bed yesterday morning, as Georgia sang "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and yelled "Wook at Meeeee!!!!!" whenever we turned away, and Theo ran around with a bucket on his head, while Ellis told me he was "Never ever going... Continue reading

Product Photography - Aliona by Anniken Allis
It is easy to take lovely photos when the subject is simply gorgeous. I have photographed 4 of Anni's items, each as lovely as this one. I had to wrestle them away from my model, as she wanted to keep... Continue reading

You know you are more than welcome!!!!
Thinking flower for parents to work on and headband for kids to work on, then sewn together? It would be fair to say I haven't done much planning, other thank being reassured others have done it and it will be fine. ;)

What's Brewing for 2013
This morning, my 2013 wall calendar arrived and with it, I began the exciting job of planning the year ahead. 2012 was a whirlwind and 2013 looks to be no different. To begin with, I will be teaching a Mother and Child class at Briarlands Farm on the 13th of January. Contact Mandy at info@...

claire- It was written before I knew anything about pattern writing. Yes, it needs stitches added in the next row (or YOs) for the buttonholes, but I can't edit it tonight as I have to finish a photography job. Can I get you the edited version in the morning?

Big, Thick, Warm and Quick {Cowl}
A grim determination has gripped me. Jaw set, needles and hooks in hand, I have decided to knit and crochet my way out of this funk. And while there are a lot of things going on around here knit and crochet-wise, there isn't much I can show you, bar this. The easy of easiest, knit in the car...

North Sea Kipper Handwarmers
Kevin lost his beautiful cabled handwarmers made out of glorious and expensive Posh Yarn...can we have a collective "grrr"? So I made him some new ones, inspired by the Herringbone Neck Warmer I made my mother in law for Christmas. This time, Kev's were made with cheap yarn. That knit up inc...
Kits
I have only been talking about it for about a year, but an invitation to join Not on the High Street was the kick to motivate me to get my designs made up into kit form! In reality, its not... Continue reading

You totally get the prize for longest comments! But that is because we live these oddly parellel lives and the fact that we share the same favourite song only cements it.
And you are bang on about the web address. Off to print more!

Kind of Like a Song That is Stuck in Your Head.
I have a long list of things I should be working on. Some new kit designs and a couple of designs for an upcoming project. They are on THE LIST. But what I actually can't stop thinking about is a completely different design in a yarn I shouldn't be using, in a craft (knitting) I shouldn't ...
you know that Sympathy for the Devil is my favourite song, right?

Its the Little Things
It used to be that when the sun shone, we would run outside to spend the day in its light. Sunshine is a precious commodity that shouldn't be wasted. Recently, sun means doing a flurry of product shots for myself and clients. Tis the season of stress and busyness, hey? Combine that with very ...
Catch up would be brilliant. Was thinking that the next time I head down south for work, I'm coming to visit you. I love babies, you know!!! Probably after Christmas some time.
Hope you are well! I miss seeing you around the Internet!!
