Out with the old.

January 8, 2012 by

Blogging has been on the quiet side recently because I’ve been keeping very busy. A year of trying to keep busy, the endless run of taxi driving and then the worry and weariness of pregnancy has taken its toll on the house. Somehow the last couple of months of the year felt even busier than […]

Christmas to now.

January 6, 2012 by

I seem to have bloggers block, that and a frantic nesting and knitting and ipad-ing habit 🙂 We’ve been busy though, and mostly happy, though I am finding it harder and harder to maintain any sort of sanity in the face of impending birth of baby. Still, with a maximum of 5 weeks to go […]

A New Year.

January 2, 2012 by

The last two years I did a New Years Eve post, one full of hope and joy, one full of anger and despair. This year I didn’t think I would take the risk. In fact, looking back at the festive period this year, I think I got through it all by just deciding not to […]

33 weeks pregnant

December 31, 2011 by

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

December 30, 2011 by

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

December 24, 2011 by

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

December 20, 2011 by

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

December 17, 2011 by

I’ve got a group of friends who I met online when Maddy was tiny, using now wildly outdated ways of connecting with like-minded souls such as yahoo groups (before Facebook and Twitter, imagine!).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

December 16, 2011 by

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, […]

30 Weeks Pregnant & a blood test grump

December 14, 2011 by

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 […]
