Finally recovered…
Well, after a week of feeling pretty crappy I am finally starting to feel better. For some reason my cold left me with some strange sick feeling that has put me off my food all week! It also has meant I’ve not been able to do much, or eat much for that matter! I managed [...]
Knit lit…
Have you ever read a novel about knitting? I’ve read a few but have been finding myself drawn to the depressing as opposed to the fun recently! Last summer I bought The Friday night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs (soon to be released at the cinema I hear!) whilst on holiday in St Ives. Me and the [...]
More eco wools…
I know I said I’d do this ages ago but time has yet again escaped from me! I was taking some pictures to catalogue my stash on Ravelry though and that reminded me! So here are the wools I bought from The Wool Baa a few weeks ago (note prices may vary in different shops): Top row [...]
Going all Italian…
Just a quick post today! We have almost completely run out of food today and with it being Easter we have panicked a bit! So I had to post and show off what I managed to come up with using only cheese, mushrooms and a tin of tomatoes!I mad some dough (cheating using the breadmaker!) [...]
Good Friday DIY
Since I’m feeling a bit better today we thought we’d get some home DIY projects out of the way. The main one was fitting a new larger shelf in the attic above my sewing desk so that I had more room for storage. I’ve been making do with three smaller shelves that aren’t very wide [...]
York and sniffles…
Today I am happy because I have four days off for Easter holidays! I went back to work today just for a very short shift as we were only open this morning. I still felt really poorly today but I just kept telling myself it was only for a few hours and soon I would [...]
It’s official – I have a cold!
Well, I felt pretty crappy at work yesterday but that’s nothing compared to today!! I had to phone in sick which I hate doing! I kept thinking that I’d be ok if I just got up, got showered and dressed and got the bus to work for a change – after all, I was only [...]
Feeling a little blue, in need of knitting therapy…
I am not a happy bunny today! I started with a bit of a back ache on Friday afternoon – this was after spending Friday morning tidying the attic to make some more space for my printing gear. It didn’t really bother me though (or so I thought) until I went to work yesterday and [...]
Goodies from Get Knitted…
Look what was waiting for me when I got home from my sewing class: Don’t you just love getting knitting goodies in the post? I ordered a 4.5 mm circular bamboo needle (60cm) so I can knit my Snow White and also ordered a needle case set which is super handy for storing your yarn needles. I [...]
Sophie enjoys her last day at home…
Well, Sophie (now Betty bunny) has gone off to her new home now but here are a few pictures of her enjoying her last day with us on Sunday! Sophie learnt many new skills with us including becoming very proficient at the piano. She wasn’t quite big enough though so we had to sit her on [...]
