Remember a while back I was planning a holiday scrapbook for our West Coast adventure? Well, in all honesty, it stalled a little bit. It started out well – I managed to write up what we were do...
I spotted Elise’s photo walk idea recently and was really excited when she issued an open invite to play along… It’s pretty simple – you give yourself a theme and a limited am...
Trouble is, the only things I have that fit me for this weather are these And these I feel a shopping trip coming on… In other news, the blanket is coming on — I’m over half-way thr...
… with news of an exciting launch. So you know Glossybox and the like? Where you get a box of sample-sized cosmetics through the post each month for a set monthly fee? Well the craft equivalent...
After a mildly torturous wait, I finally received my RSN piece in the post along with my mark for module one… here it is, in all it’s finished-up glory And the verdict? A pass with 76%. P...
I caved. I couldn’t help it. I cast on a hat for Junior this morning using this simple pattern and by 3pm it was done. Can’t say fairer than that… I love the colour (the yarn is Sir...
It’s fair to say that my sleep pattern is becoming pretty interrupted now and it seems to have sparked a minor case of ‘startitis’. All I can seem to think about while I’m try...
So the cable blanket is coming on much faster than I expected (Clearly I had quite low expectations…) It’s a nice, easy knit and the yarn is gorgeously soft (I picked Artesano Superwash M...
I always knew that this project would take time, but I’m just beginning to realise how long… Even so, I’m loving it so far. It might be fiddly and take ages, but I think it might en...
The best coffee The best crab and cheese toasted sandwiches The best ginger beer The best ferry rides The best road trips to Bavarian themed villages in the mountains. Really. The best friends to spe...
Brunch at Mother’s Beer tasting at Deschutes for Mark… Voodoo doughnut tasting for me… Brunch at Kenny & Zuke’s Dinner at Ping. Completely outstanding. Up-in-the-air cable...

Finally, after a week of feeling very sorry for myself, I’m back in the land of the living… and even though our holiday feels like a long time ago now, I wanted to share a few snaps from ...
I managed to bring a nasty chest/throat thing back from holiday, so I’m laid low for the moment and checking back through holiday photos or doing anything constructive on the crafty front has t...
We just got back from our two week trip… it was amazing, but I’m still sorting through photos so more on that later. In the meantime, I was really excited to find my stitch swap waiting f...
Green is by far my favourite colour, which is part of the reason I love Spring so much. In celebration of it being the season of green, here are a few of my favourite Spring-inspired etsy picks to br...
Now you probably think I’m foolhardy for thinking I can knit the giant cable blanket before the little one gets here… well hold on to your hats, because I’ve also got a hand-stitche...
I really love keeping scrapbooks of our holidays… my Mum & Dad encouraged me to do it when I was little and it’s something I’ve picked up again over the past few years. It̵...
I’m really keen to have as many handmade things for Junior as possible… especially stuff that we’ll be using every day. So I have two blankets on my to-do list (yep, two whole blank...
I’ve decided to have a month off the goals list this month, mainly because we have a holiday planned (which we’ve been really excited about!) and I want to make sure I really enjoy it wit...
March was a pretty good month as far as the goals are concerned… I finished my piece for my first module at the RSN, just waiting for it be graded now (I’m nervous as they have seriously ...
For Mollie’s stitch swap, I wanted to do something a little more personal for my swapee… so I picked out their initial from this gorgeous antique embroidery book I found in Honfleur last ...
I finished up my stitch swap project at the weekend… I knew the recipient liked coral and grey, so I picked the best-match colours I had in my stash. And I wanted to do something a little perso...
I was so excited to start knitting for our new addition, but given the speed that I knit at (which really has more to do with the amount of time I have free where I’m not totally knackered as o...
I signed up for Mollie’s stitch swap at the beginning of the month… and now I’ve finished up my first module at the RSN I can finally turn my attentions elsewhere. Which is lucky, a...
This afternoon was all about churning through some dull jobs I’ve had on the to-do list for a while… which included taking up two pairs of jeans. It’s the first time I’ve trie...
Yesterday, I spent most of the day looking at these… Oh yes. It was the final day of module one at the RSN… and the first time I’ve ever tried mounting a piece of work properly. Man...
It was an unbelievably beautiful weekend. Sun shining, flowers blooming, trees just starting to come into leaf… as much as I love Autumn and Winter, this time of year is brilliant too. I love t...
This week is just totally running away with me, there doesn’t seem to be any time to do anything other than the basics. And yet I still have to finish the RSN piece by next Friday at the latest...
I’ve decided to make a patchwork cot quilt rather than buying one – I just fancied something a bit simpler & less ‘baby-baby’, if you know what I mean. And as I’ve t...
