We've mostly had a busy and fun Christmas - hope yours was too. Christmas day wasn't the best, as we were all sick with a 24 hour tummy bug - of all the days in the year to go down with it! Still, we've postponed Christmas dinner until New Year's eve when it will hopefully… Continue reading Happy New Year

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…
...and my dream just came true! I'm an emotional person but even so it's not often that I'm moved to tears over unexpected kindnesses. This morning though, I was blubbing like a good'un as I opened an unexpected package to find this from Raspberry... How do you find the words to really thank someone for… Continue reading I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…
Christmas is coming…
Well, the tree is up and the little bells are doing their job of warning me when Toby starts a-climbing! This year he has a new thing too - licking all of the baubles - I think he likes looking at his tongue reflected in their surfaces and the smoothness of them! I finished 4… Continue reading Christmas is coming…
Temporal rifts
I don't know where the time has gone this week - suddenly it's nearly over and there's still so much to do - maybe I slipped into a temporal rift in the space time continuum (see, I just can't shake that star trek thing) or maybe it's just Christmas.

SECOND UPDATE: Sorry, Holly and Noelle have both been sold. The one in the green dress (Holly) has… Continue reading Christmas girls
My first swap
Yesterday a package arrived for me and was eagerly torn open - to reveal... this lovely needlecase and great vintage buttons - the goodies from my very first swap with the charming Jackie of Wren's Nest. I love the idea of swapping with a fellow crafter and am very lucky to score such beautiful things… Continue reading My first swap
And for my next trick…
...I will place 5 knitted rabbits into the magician's hat, tap 3 times with the magic wand, say the magic word 'retail therapy' and hey presto! a new skirt! Ok, it didn't happen quite like that but it does feel magical to me. Thanks to all of you lovely people out there who've been buying… Continue reading And for my next trick…
WIP of a seasonal nature
I know that nobody wants to be reminded how many shopping days left until Christmas - I'm no angel and am more disorganised with my pressie buying than usual. Still even I have succumbed to the impending season of cheer and have been trying to finish off stockings, Christmas cakes and bunnies.These two girlies are… Continue reading WIP of a seasonal nature
