I reckon this post will come back to bite me on the posterior. I can nearly guarantee when in fact; I reckon I have just under 2 years before I’m holding my head in my hands and wailing ‘WHAT was I thinking?’ If it happens sooner than that, it is conclusive proof of that unwritten […]
#madblogawards close tomorrow – please vote for some fab blogs!
Tomrrow is the closing date for the MAD Blog Awards, the very last chance to vote for Patch of Puddles in the two categories you can vote for it in. I’ve just done mine. I didn’t vote for myself (at least, I don’t think I did!) but I wanted to tell you some of the […]
Furniture Village Spring Sale
We’ve got visitors coming again this weekend and as ever, seats and beds are the biggest problem. The trouble with having 6 bottoms that already need seating and sleeping in a not very big house is that there isn’t an awful lot of room for overspill… and these days the girls aren’t quite so keen […]
Finished it Friday: Crocheted Bag.
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.
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 […]
And then came the rainbows…
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… […]
Give it some love (blogging about blogging).
I do try not to. But this has been an awesome (to quote Josie) week. I was included in a round up of educational posts, proving beyond doubt that cakes on plates is the way forward and I should be Minister for Maths. (There is no point telling me you have to be good at […]
The shame of the failed housewife…
One of my dirty little secrets is that I have a cleaner. I’m deeply embarrassed about this really but for reasons I can’t explain on the blog, I can’t actually stop having one. It’s a left over of the days when running the business, having lots of home educated children, a house new enough to […]
Finished it Friday: Nina's cardigan.
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 […]
Are you calling me darling?
Dear Ben, Today you are 3 months old. Do you know that even now I find it hard to believe I am not typing “you should be 3 months old”? I still find it hard to believe our luck. I’m not sure that I ever was very good at trusting everything would generally work out […]
