I keep saying it’s been a funny few weeks here and it has. Not that it matters especially, other than that it has made me think very hard about trying to take better care of myself inside and out. Annoyingly that – and the general lack of time that our life now involves – means […]
Just me and him. A #summerdayout
It’s been a funny few weeks without time or opportunity for blogging. Somethings shouldn’t be blogged perhaps, at least not while they are happening. In and among all of that, we’ve twitched our working life and Max has gone back to employment, leaving me to run our business and rather a lot of the childcare […]
Appreciating Daddy.
We all like to feel appreciated and one of the ways we do that in our society tends to be gifts. That’s relatively easy for a family to do for a mum; flowers, pamper treats or maybe a nice bundle of yarn if you are me. 😉 I can be made very happy by coming […]
May.
If our life was a circus, every ball, actor, venue, booking and act would currently be hanging off a trapeze, or be up in the air, uncontracted, not paid the fee or possibly be a sobbing heap of luvvy-dom in a caravan somewhere. I don’t know where to start with how much everything is dangling […]
Fritha Mandala Again: Exploring Large Motifs.
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 […]
Blogger Day Out: It’s a rotten smelly life!
Last week Amelie, Josie and I had a lot of fun down at the Pineapple Dance Studios filming a dance routine to celebrate the release of the new Anni film on DVD. With a home full of keen dancers and divas, I had a feeling it would be a popular day out and I was […]
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 […]
Soothing Stitches: Crochet Daffodil Wreath
Just in the nick of time, the daffodil wreath got finished. I find it really helps me to make something in the run up to Freddie’s birthday. Out of eye shot of the girls who expect it to be the actual days that bother me, I’m able to process a lot of the emotions and […]
Rabbit Sagas.
We’ve had a lot of rabbits over the years. There was Peter who we bought when Fran was 4 and didn’t live a long life, catching myxi at the vets when he was a bit more than 2. He had a mate, called Button who got lonely so Peter was replaced with Smartie, who was […]
