Patch Of Puddles

Jigsaw Boy

by

I forget to post about Bene and how he’s growing up. He’s the centre of the universe here, doted on by all of us, never unattended, never alone or left to his own devices. He’s fitted right in like the last piece of the jigsaw. But I’ve not remembered to keep a tally of what […]

Soothing Stitches: Quick Crochet Coasters

by

I made these for my Dad, who lives out in a hot place where heaven knows, you probably can’t buy civilised things like coasters 😉 😉 😉 (I’m joking, I’m joking…) The pattern is a Simply Crochet (Issue 7) pattern in Rowan Handknit and a 44mm hook. Easy to make (but the patterns never seem […]

Surfacing

by

April has been about being quiet for me; there was not enough time to think but there was a very enjoyable amount of time spent with my children as they hunkered down together through an all too short Easter holiday. Fran revised (oh my goodness, the waste of youth that is GCSE revision 🙁 ) […]

Soothing Stitches: Finishing a Fabulous Ripple Crochet Cushion.

by

I do love having a variety of projects on the go; this one has featured heavily on my Instagram feed (did I mention that the Tots100 made me Instagrammer of the month recently?) since before Xmas. It’s been my easy, no brain required, pick up and crochet when I’m too tired to think project. I […]

Anti Breastfeeding Doctors, 111 & the Out of Hours Service.

by

If you know me on Facebook, you might have caught my disbelieving rant about an OOH doctor I met last weekend. I’ve fumed about this all week and decided to write it just, if nothing else, to record that these infuriating incidents are still happening. Last weekend Max went away, accidentally taking both sets of […]

Soothing Stitches: A Crochet Daffodil Garland

by

I wanted to make a garland that would brighten up our dining room and keep Spring alive a little longer; by combining some elements from different places and a little bit of changing things to suit my needs, I managed to make something I as really pleased with. It’s looking like becoming a permanent addition […]

Those days.

by

I’ve back dated this because it feels wrong to have it not on the ‘day’ that Freddie died, but it has taken me a week to write it. Truth is, I’ve not wanted to write it and because I didn’t want to write it, I haven’t written anything. It’s been a silent April. The words […]

This one is for friendship #daffodilboy

by

A few weeks ago I asked friends to join in with me as I crafted myself to distraction in the run up to Freddie’s ‘should be’ 4th birthday and join me. For those who did, I am truly grateful. And for those who sent photos of daffodils on the 2nd and thought of us and […]

Making the best of it.

by

So far the weather has always been kind to us in Freddie’s birthday. It feels like a blessing, of sorts, though I know it can’t be really. We’ve always been able to have an outside sort of day. This year was a happy day, in the circumstances. I find it increasingly strange that it can […]
