Or…… just how big is too big? We have had a visitor from England with us the last week or so, and this past weekend took a trip to Yosemite…. Yep. It was quite glorious. I bought a cute pair of turquoise earrings from the Ansel Adams Gallery, which kind of made me want to […]
I must have at least 50 (ok ok…. maybe more like 100) baking books on my bookshelves, but somehow I always feel like I need more. For my latest selection from Blogging for Books I decided to go for this one: I do love a cookie. Or as I would call them, a “biscuit”, because […]
…or where I finally start making Mr M the Comox Trunks intended as a Christmas Present. Yup. I bought him the Comox Trunks kit for Christmas, but it is now April and I had yet to make him them! These were the first try, not made with the supplies in the kit, but with some […]

… and if I can get free books in response for posting a review? Well, I should probably give that a try. Yup, in a move that makes Mr M (and my already overloaded bookshelves) groan, I have signed up to Blogging for Books. I found it through an Amazon review that said that they […]
This morning I woke up with the urge to make Pom Poms. So I did. It is a nice fun little activity that is easy to do while catching up on my trashy tv programmes. NB. I used my Clover Pom Pom Makers, but if you look at this post, I put in a few […]
I guess with this pattern being the freebie for December, it was meant to be a bit seasonal… but alas. I didn’t finish it back then! Done! He is kinda cute. But yey! I did it. I finally caught up with my birds and completed the set. So now they are all up on […]
This weekend has been a lazy weekend. I think it was due after a hectic week, but I did make an effort on Saturday morning to make Mr M a new shirt. It is another Colette Negroni, made using the exact same pieces that I had already adjusted for his previous shirts here. I made […]
