Making space at home.

August 17, 2015 by

This week we have been recreating our kitchen as an actual useful space, rather than a shockingly badly designed hovel of a kitchen from hell as designed by the developers of our estate. That deserves a post all of its own – and it will get one! – but it has meant we’ve been rediscovering […]

Soothing Stitches: A Year of Yarning Frugally. #UseUpYarnYear

Mission. This is not the current computer based alien killing my husband and children are doing, […]

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 […]
