Ramble ramble.

June 13, 2012 by

I’ve got a gazillion this to catch up on blogging wise. Oh how I miss the olden days when I could blog at 5pm each day about what we had done. I’m caught between feeling we do nothing and seeing what a huge amount actually goes on around here. There is masses of conversation ed […]

Night out. All of us. Nearly.

June 9, 2012 by

We went to a wedding tonight, the first time we’ve all been at a social event in longer than I can remember. It was nice. I like weddings and this was a lovely one. I’m hopeless at small talk and I hate dressing up but a baby solves both those problems and at least now […]

The opposites of grief.

June 7, 2012 by

Woven inside and outside of everything that resides inside a busy family and bringing up a new baby and time passing by I’m aware, if less vocal, about some of the intangibles of grief. For so long I was racked and grazed by the contradictions of loss, of having a child but not having him, […]

Finished it Friday: Crocheted Bag.

May 28, 2012 by

I wanted to have another go at something felted in Adriatic felting yarn. So far I’ve been disappointed with this wool felted though and happy with it when crocheted. Having had a book for my birthday with some east projects in it, I decided to give a simple clutch bag a go. The bag itself […]

Right Where I Am: 2 years, 2 months.

May 26, 2012 by

When I joined in with this project last year, I was tottering on the brink of utter despair. I wrote my entry on the cusp month between the end of Freddie’s time and the beginning of Ben’s time. That single month that was left before I found out I was pregnant again. It was feeling […]

Klimt's The Kiss.

May 21, 2012 by

Let’s move on to something a little nicer. Remember we were looking at this? Over Friday and the weekend we thought we would have a go at a representation of this picture in…. Hama beads! And here is the finished article. Rather a good piece of collaborative art we thought 🙂 What I loved about […]

And then came the rainbows…

May 19, 2012 by

I remember writing a long time ago that I knew one day posts about Freddie on here would fade away. It was the early days then, right at the beginning – but I knew even then that the desperate pain and grief would not always be something I could find and write new feelings about… […]

A funny thing happened on the way home from Cybher.

May 13, 2012 by

London did not behave as expected yesterday. Despite my reservations, it was delightful in the morning, light, airy and quiet and full. It reminded me of the city I lived in once that I really loved. Kings Cross, in its new, glorious sparkling form was radiant. I had a grin on my face. People smiled […]

Finished it Friday: Nina's cardigan.

May 4, 2012 by

I’m properly proud of this, as it’s my first ever completed baby clothing item and I think it came out okay too. Ben’s is still waiting to be made up but I wanted to get Nina’s in the post so I finished hers off first. That’s Ben’s on the right. I think I liked the […]

I went to blog camp.

April 26, 2012 by

Having missed out on the chance to get a ticket because my head was too broken while I was pregnant, I nearly went into rapture when Sally sent me an invite to take up a reserve place. I’ve got lots of time for the way Sally, of Tots100, The MADS and BlogCamp fame, runs her […]
