Le sigh. Today was a stretch, my mama heart feels bruised. Brodie has been peaky for a week. Nothing specific, just off colour. My head told me it was just sniffles and my heart pushed me to make an appointment with the Doc just to check that he didn’t have a terrible ear infection or […]
I took Brodie to see Hairy McLairy and friends today. Taking him to the theatre has been something I’ve looked forward to for years. I love everything about the theatre, I loved performing as a child and even now have been known to break out the jazz hands on occasion. He was pretty psyched about […]
This post has been sitting in my draft folder since the day before Baxter arrived….. Brodie was lucky enough to be swathed in beautiful handknitted clothes, mostly made by his fantastically talented Granny Morag. He had hats and mitts and bootees and blankets and a beautiful shawl to be wrapped in. He had cardigans and […]
So in the last few weeks my somewhat tenuous grip on reality has loosened. Just last week I called a friend who’s been married for over a year by the wrong name, luckily she was very understanding but the whole thing brought to mind several exceptionally stupid things I’ve done over the past few weeks. […]
This is pretty much the first thing I’ve crocheted other than a couple of scarf,s a baby hat and some random snowflakes. I really enjoyed it and it came together so quickly which is the wonderful thing about crochet. Now, if only I could remember what on earth I was thinking when I chose the […]
I wrote this post about being an Introvert a while ago. I’ve since come across a further definition of introversion/extroversion that I really identify with. Even when surrounded by my nearest and dearest I eventually need some time with only my own thoughts in my head. I can be having the best time ever with […]
Pink is like my least favourite colour ever. Although I have become quite attached to a pink scarf recently, but I digress. Pink was my least favourite colour ever but I think now it will be forever connected to the sea of women I ran with today around Arthur’s Seat. It was crazy, pink as […]
For the little people in our lives I went with cosy hats, mittens and neckwarmers. I used this and this pattern for all the hats, adding ribbons and buttons to the girls. I lined the hats with leftover jersey material from the ruffle scarfs. I got the tutorial for that here. I didn’t actually make […]
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 […]
Apparently there’s some football thingy on. What does that mean for me? Well I’m probably going to increase my knitting output over the next few weeks. Which is a good thing because it’s taken me a month to finish this. I won’t even tell you how many times I had to rip it back and […]
