One thing you don’t really get to do when you have 3 other children under 6 and a husband who needs to be back at work 6 days after you leave hospital with your low iron levels and your newly soft furnished mind, is babymoon. Life after Josie was born was more an exercise in […]
Finished it Friday: Ben's hats.
Last week I partook of Finished it Friday a couple of days early without knowing that by Friday my major project of the day would actually be a brand new baby, who arrived 3 weeks early. After finishing his Blanket, I made him a coming home hat, using a really easy baby hat pattern I […]
Out with the old.
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 […]
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, […]
Finished it Friday: Knitted Scarf
I’ve gone from not quite knowing what to faff about at with knitting (and being deeply engrossed in a book series) to suddenly having lots of things that need knitting and not much time to do it in! Having concluded that my inability to make up cardigans rather inhibits clothes making, I went back to […]
Halloween Pom Pom & Window Art
Here follows a post which proves I will always be a family blogger before a nice organised mummy blogger or crafting blogger – or even a business blogger. I always end up doing crafty blogs in real time so people can come and look at them a year later 😆 Last week, a collection of […]
Needing knitting project help.
It is nearly time to start making this baby a blanket and I’m struggling for inspiration. Fran had one made from a pattern and the other girls used it too; after her I never managed to make ones for the others, so my Nana stepped into the breach. Freddie’s I made as a sampler while […]
Activity with Macavity and more.
Zoe and I got back to doing our Art Day/not Latin this week, in the hope that we can get a bit of routine going after a summer of holiday and other commitments and then Fran heading off for school. Although it won’t always work, this week we did manage to time it so Fran […]
Under the Sea Party Costumes
At the weekend we attended the yearly fancy dress party over at The Beans. It was, as usual, an excellent do, though missing some of the usual suspects this year, but lovely anyway. I completely forgot to take photos, so I thought I’d mark the occasion with a display of our rather excellent costumes. They […]
Taking it to extremes.
After rather pathetically realising my ‘stay at home’ status had become a little bit too literal in my last post, we’ve been out every day this week. Which has been some achievement actually. We’ve been various children down at various points of the week this week so the dimensions of life have been quite different. […]
