As previously mentioned, I have fallen in love with mandalas and freestyle crochet; crocheting in the round has unlocked a creativity in my that I’m delighting in and a sense of inventing something form myself has awoken a desire to actually nail down my technique, record what I do and offer it out to other […]
Sponsored Post: Baking yourself happy!
I’ve only recently discovered the delights of baking; I’ve tended to avoid it in the past, given I can’t manage not to eat the proceeds and I more or less put on weight by looking at calories. But lately I’ve had an urge to send my children out of the house with something filled with […]
Review: Discovering great meals with Marley Spoon.
It’s fair to say that our meals tend to come in at the budget, simple and quick end of the scale. When you have a houseful of variously young and/or picky eaters and a limited spend per head, exotic eating does not tend to be high on the list of priorities – filling tummies is […]
For fear of living dangerously.
The last plane ride I took involved me not quite sobbing for most of the journey and actually weeping for some of it, while simultaneously trying to calm Fran who kept panicking that the call button chime meant disaster was imminent and quell Amelie who wanted detailed explanations of the emergency procedures sign plastered 5 […]

Soothing Stitches: Crochet Bolster Cushion Cover
This is a quick one from a few months back. I’m currently deeply engaged in the Fritha Mandala, now on a second incarnation with some testers helping me prepare a pattern. I never did write this one up and I love it really so I thought I’d show it off. It lives in my living […]
Cobbled step and sandwiches.
When I am old, (older) And you are grown, (more so) I’ll remember the day we sat on cobbled step, (warm but crowded) And ate sandwiches while killing time (how much time is left, I wonder?) The man on the tightrope, (balancing) Had a microphone and I thought, (musing) That back in my day they […]

Continuing in my marvellous ‘blogging it for next year’ tradition 😉 This years Easter crafting comes courtesy of our Bostik Bloggers box again. With the girls getting bigger now I either get LOTS of collaboration or none – I need Bene to get a bit bigger and start to want to make things too! This […]
