My friends are like Ugg boots. I keep them forever. They just get better the longer you keep them around, don’t you think? I’ll never be what you might call a social butterfly. I’m not great at making those transient, just for this point in your life type friendships. It takes me a long time […]
Grier needed a cardigan to wear over her dress for the wedding we’re going to in a few weeks. I decided on the Little Rose Cardigan from The Third Little Sublime handknit book. Only without the roses and with the addition of a light blue edging which can be explained by the fact I ran […]
We are still feeling generally under the weather chez Cameron so because the sun was blazing in the sky today we headed out to Beecraigs for a whump through the mud and a play in the park. Well that and the fact Grier may well still be contagious with hand, foot and mouth I decided […]
We had a carseat reshuffle. Brodie got a Concord Transformer Click similar to this and Grier got a new (to her) seat with a new cover handed down from Brodie. I initially though I wanted a seat with a five point harness for Brodie but once I looked into it I realised that he would […]
This is a genoese sponge (heart shaped natch) topped with whipped vanilla cream and fresh fruit. Yes someone has been highly influenced by the Great British Bake Off, what of it?
So at this time of year lots of blogs are full of handmade Christmas gifts and I’m pinning them like a madwoman thinking that would be great for so and so, that looks easy, sure I have time to make those. The truth is I make stuff for me really. I enjoy the making. I […]
I knitted Brodie a cardigan. He likes wearing it but doesn’t like posing for photos in it. Hence the view of his rear end while I try to get a decent shot. Sigh. I’d like to say they get better, but….. And those buttons. Dear goodness those buttons. I let Brodie choose them because let’s […]
Grier has sore ears. Tonight she was miserable and hot and only wanted to cuddle on my knee. Brodie was so good. He ate his tea, collected his own yogurt and spoon for pudding and then got a nectarine out of the fruit bowl. He asked me to put Igglepiggle on for Grier because it’s […]
In my quest to dress Brodie as a teeny tiny Gareth Malone I had to make him a bow tie. Just kidding. I did make him a bow tie though, to go with his blazer. I used this tutorial without changing a thing and it fits pretty well. Now all I need to do is […]
Tony and Jade’s wedding is only a few weeks away. Grier has a beautiful dress to wear but it needed a little poof. Since Grier was born I’ve been thinking about making petticoats and tutus and I had a go at a no sew tutu which worked really well. To go under this dress though […]
