Winter is probably my least favourite season of all. After growing up in a part of the world where it hardly ever gets cold, it has been a long and hard adjustment getting used to the UK winters....

Is it just me, or is there a lot of crochet popping up on television these days. I find myself spotting beautiful blankets all over my favourite shows and I have to say it does make me happy to s...

During my childhood, Halloween was not something that we celebrated or even participated in and I remember well feeling very envious of the children in American movies and shows who got to dress ...

Way back in February I excitedly started a new blanket using Lucy's Hexagon tutorial. I had a big bag of my favourite cotton yarn in 24 delicious colours all ready to go and within a few days I h...

We have been back from our Canada trip for well over a week now, and have been slowly settling back into our normal lives here at home. After three weeks of having grandparents, aunts and cousins...

Little T and I are waiting to board our flight to Canada where my parents, sister, nephew and niece are waiting for us. As this is a long awaited family get together, you can imagine that our exc...

During my teenage years I had developed a bit of an obsession with the United States of America. I was able to name all of the fifty one states and their capital cities, could sing the Star Spang...

I was recently tagged in one those FaceBook chains where someone nominates you to post something on your status and then to nominate others to do the same. This particular chain required the nomi...

Some of you might remember my very ambitious attempt at cooking a recipe from each of the cookbooks in my rather large collection at the end of last year. I got off to a good start but after...

Having grown up in a sub-tropical part of the world, where the temperature often reaches well into the thirties (that's Degrees Celsius) and hardly ever drops below 10 degrees, I found adapting t...

In my last post about our trip to Poland I gave you a little sneak peek at the yarn that I had brought back with me. Remember this picture :) While we were visiting my parents-in-law I had a...

Well, we are home again after an amazing couple of weeks visiting my in-laws in sunny, gorgeous Poland. I have finally caught up on all of the dirty laundry and house cleaning duties and have now...

In a country where the predominant weather condition is Rainy, we have been pleasantly surprised with a really gloriously sunny summer so far. The days have been long and hot and we have been en...

Today, exactly three years ago I held Little T for the very first time in my arms. When I think back to that first moment we shared together, it feels impossible to think that so much time has al...

Even after living in the UK for nearly eleven years, I am still often blown away by the beauty that the English Countryside has to offer. People travel far and wide across the globe to see sp...

One of the best things about having children is seeing yourself in them. Over the past three years I have come to notice that Little T has my eyes, my nose, my silly sense of humour, my love of a...

I thought that as I'm sort of starting anew with my blog, that I would also try my hand at writing a tutorial for the little flower square that I had designed for my new cushion. The square...

Yeah, yeah, I know... It has been a VERY long time since you've seen or heard anything from me. True to from, when life got busy, my blog got left behind. Nothing new there then :) There are howe...

There is no escaping the fact, Christmas really is only two weeks and two days away, and personally I can't wait :)   I love the build up and preparations that go along with Christmas and ...

I had every intention of doing this post on Wednesday and every Wednesday until I had gone though all of my books, but as always my topsy-turvy life does not allow for such rigidity. So here it i...

In my house is a little bookshelf that holds one of my most treasured collections...   My cookbooks :) Perhaps not the most extensive collection of cooking volumes, but I love each a...

On Wednesday we were lured outside by gorgeous blue skies and the desire to go and discover another lovely walk in the National Forest. We got on our way quite early in the day to make sure we go...

It feels like someone, somewhere has hit the switch to turn on the cold weather. All of a sudden the days are terribly short and the sun seems to really struggle to get high in the sky. Without w...
