Little Tin Bird

Today has been better. Yesterday was just one of those rubbish, non-specifically frustrating days that everyone has sometimes. I find that when I look forward to the weekend all week, and then not doing anything at the weekend, it really brings me down. When we moved back to Leeds I was adamant that I didn’t [...]

It’s taken me a week to get to this point - I think I’m getting quicker though. Practice makes perfect and all that.
I have also been doing some crochet today (today was Not Such A Good Day, but crochet helps I find.) and so hopefully I can post something tomorrow that is not just a [...]

I haven’t really given knitting much time lately. I’m pretty sure that it’s because I’m loads better at crochet than I am at knitting, and so crochet is always my “go to” choice of hobby. Plus I am so bursting with crochet ideas that I just want to make them ALL right now!
So I’m trying [...]

When I returned home form work last Monday, there was a Royal Mail “sorry you were out” card waiting on the doormat for me. Muchos excitement, as I had not actually ordered anything. Even more exciting was that the parcel waiting for me in the depot was a gift from the USA. Eeee! You see, [...]

… as to where we went yesterday! Yep that’s right, we went to York.
Lately whenever we go to York, we park at the McArthur Glenn designer outlet Park and Ride instead of driving into the city. York is a hideous place in which to drive and it is in fact the sole reason that I [...]

Dear Bloggy Friends,
Thank you SO MUCH for your lovely and encouraging comments on my last entry (especially those ones encouraging me to buy more yarn, hehe). Seriously though, thank you for encouraging me to offer my blankets for sale. I have actually sold the Sweet Pea ripple now, and this makes me so over the [...]

Weeeeell we sorted out all my yarn yesterday and instead of distracting me from babies all it really did was reveal to Andy just how much yarn I have. In my defence, it is the Stylecraft that makes it look so bad. And that is designated for the Granny Stripe, which I am deliberately not [...]

Yesterday was baby day. In the morning me and Andy went to visit Katherine and her beeeeautiful baby daughter Phoebe, who is overwhelmingly lovely (and a champion wriggler!) Here is Phoebe on her super blanket that Katherine actually finished just as she was going into labour (that’s good timing in my book)

Isn’t she beautiful? and [...]

I still have sooooooo many photos left from my holiday that I haven’t blogged yet! I keep looking at them and wondering just how on earth I’m going to post them all and not bore you silly. I desperately want to record the rest of my holiday on here because I love looking back through [...]

Today, Saturday meant: taking photos, watching Friends, waiting for texts.

Finding a 4 pack of brand new socks from last year’s birthday, hooking my new “Sweet Pea” (coloured) ripple.

Making spur-of-the-moment soup for lunch. Sweet potato, carrot, onion, garlic, lentils, pearl barley & stock = delicious lunch. Yes I know that’s a Christmas tray and it is [...]
