An extra few weeks of pregnant seems to have passed since I last blogged it. I suppose Christmas does that to time. For ages we’ve had ‘just get past Christmas’ as our mantra, known in our head that work and stuff would keep us busy and that then there would just be January and a […]
Finished it Friday: Crochet Pillow
This year I did very little present buying outside of these four walls. My ever diminishing family doesn’t seem to require so much purchasing :/ I’m never very good at thinking of things for my mum either but I hoped she would appreciate something made with time and effort and love,so along with a box […]
Christmas PomPom Delight
A while ago I wrote about these fabulous pompom makers which I bought as a slight indulgence for a bit of Xmas crafty silliness. They’ve been worth their weight in £1 coins though and we’ve had masses of fun with them already, as have a quantity of people who have visited. Pom pom making is […]
Christmas
It hasn’t been quite the run up to Christmas that I planned; work, school, the pantomime, camp and pregnancy have combined to mean no time, lots of stress and very little blogging of Christmas crafty stuff, never mind doing it. We have done some things together but I lost my Christmas joy somewhere along the […]
A relationship with Oak
Of all my happiest memories, the garden of the house my grandparents lived in when I was growing up, is the place I remember with the most peace and joy. Oaklands. I spent weeks there, most often the only grandchild staying, caught up in a private, solitary world of my own imagination. I was the […]
Christmas Camp 2011
I’ve got a group of friends who I met online when Maddy was tiny, using now wildly outdated ways of connecting with like-minded souls such as yahoo groups (before Facebook and Twitter, imagine!). They became real life friends remarkably quickly. We did our first camp together, some of us, when Amelie was 4 months old […]
Finished it Friday: Baby Nina's Blanket
My sister had her baby (of whom there is a photo at the bottom) in the early hours of November and remarked over the coming days that the poor little soul, coming after a brother and a huge baby clear out) had no pink of her own. So I said I would give her one, […]
Christmas Beaded Elves
Next up on the Christmas Crafts list was these Beaded Elves. I bought some wooden beads from another eBay seller (trying very hard to support small businesses this year where I can). I had planned to make Fimo faces but the beads were cute and easy. The girls made the hats though. These are the […]
30 Weeks Pregnant & a blood test grump
I went for a scan last week, followed by a consultant appointment, where I did at least manage to explain myself a bit better and got patted 😉 Marmite was looking fine on the scan too, a healthy 3lbs something and well behaved. He was proudly showing off his willy (it was actually the first […]
That life that was mine.
Fran and Amelie start the proper run of the pantomime they’ve been rehearsing today; six weeks of Sunday mornings morph into a run of 16 performances. They’ve experienced a shouty director who expects them to behave like pros (despite not actually being paid!) and the shock of finding themselves cut out of a dance because […]
