Crochet practice.
Woo! 2013! Do we think it’s going to be a good year? This wasn’t originally going to be the first post of the year. I already, in fact, had written one ready to go… but it relates to my super secret thing that I have been working on, which is a present for someone so […]
How 2012 was for me.
A year ago today I published my first blog post. Just a simple little Hello. 1 year later, and I this is my 189th post. 45 of them included chocolate. At least 80% of them were probably fueled by chocolate. Or Chocolate Microwave Brownies…. Some major events have happened this year, for us Brits in […]
The post-Christmas post
I don’t know about you, but it had been a hectic time this year. It has been good to see people though, and I have had some splendiferously crafty presents, which has been fabulous! My friend put me together this apron kit: I love how she also included this tag to add to it: Haha! […]
A Moose for Moose.

Currently…..

I also have some goofy things in the pipeline, but keep running out of time to do them due to imminent crafty deadlines! Here is my progress on my Christmas […]
Pom Pom Garland
The idea was first sparked from seeing this blog post. I love the how colourful the party is…. and I absolutely loved the Pom Pom Garland. One day I am absolutely determined to make a fabulously multicoloured garland, and use up all the random oddments of wool in my stash, but I wanted to make […]
My weekend….
….. has consisted of being on call, and a whole lot of rain! It has in fact rained so much, and the road I usually take to work is super winding… and on a hill… that a whole load of debris is all over the road and the Police have closed it. Hmmph. So I’ve […]
Pom Pom Pom
Over the past month or so I have been working on a little something….. But before we get to that, this is a little post about Pom Pom making, and a few different techniques for doing so. They range from the low tech to the gadget filled. Pom Pom making can be done while watching […]
