Oh boy did I start these in the wrong order. This is the second completed baby blanket of 2012 (certainly not to be the last!) but it is in fact for Baby Number 3. I started this blanket first (with a sizeable break for Jack’s blanket) which was a daft thing to do when I [...]

An early night, a late wake-up and a morning spent in bed with a cup of tea and a box of the good stuff. Just what the doctor ordered :-) (That’s if doctors are aware of the medicinal properties of crochet & a cup of tea.)

My latest trip home was for a sad reason and I don’t want to lose sight of that, but it would be wrong to be unappreciative of the unexpected family time that it brought me. I’d like to use this “On My Camera” post to remember all of the moments that I may otherwise forget [...]

One of the subjects that I intentionally do not talk about on here is my job. What if they found my blog and read what I said about it? Suffice to say though, I do not have the kind of job where travel is involved, or any kind of perks, excitement, fun etc. So colour [...]

I wonder how many of my blog posts are titled “Saturday”? Sometimes I feel a bit like a child at school tasked with a “What I did at the weekend” writing exercise and worry that you will all get bored. Weekends are the best though aren’t they? Two whole days of not being at work, [...]

Ahhhh SNOW! Now that my travelling up-and-down-the-country is over for a while, I am not feeling so anti-snow. It was even quite exciting watching it fall yesterday. I knew that Lucy and her family were heading out to the park for snow-time so after I got Lucy’s text (“Get your snow boots on!”) I trudged [...]

It started with a box of Stylecraft. I had thought that I needed to purchase another batch of Stylecraft for the impending baby blankets that I needed to make but when I had searched every corner of my home, I realised that I only needed to buy three new balls. Money saved! Fabulous. (I should [...]

Let’s try this again. It’s New Year’s Day! I am going to do lots of fun things and blog lots and lots and generally have a fabulous 2012! That’s how I intended to start the year anyway. Life looked at those thoughts inside my head, laughed, and said “Yeah, right!” January made my head spin. [...]

Do you all know the lovely Cuckoo? If you don’t, I suggest that you hop on over to her blog pronto, but only if you have a bit of time to spare because I think you’ll find it difficult to leave it ;-) I found Cuckoo’s blog about a year ago, shortly before she had [...]

I think I mentioned a few posts back that I already have three baby blankets to make this year. The count was already three by the time it was November! Best get busy with my hook! I have finished baby blanket number one, for Jenny, who is due imminently (how exciting!), but I can’t post [...]
