What I’ve been reading – Fangirl

July 23, 2014

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell Tagline: A tale of fanfiction, family and first love.

Milestones: with running and my blog.

July 19, 2014

Nine weeks ago I decided that I needed to get off the sofa and get fit and not just for the summer. I wanted to build my stamina and fitness levels so when my friend Jo-anne told me that she had started started running in a local park with JogBelfast (part of a free ActiveNI … More Milestones: with running and my blog.

Make it Monday: Lemon meringue pie

This weeks make is a bit of a cheat….a delicious cheat. I admit that when I make lemon meringue I use packet lemon filling and ready made pastry.

What I’ve been reading – The Sentinel

July 13, 2014

During the summer I do more reading than at any other time of the year. I don’t know if it’s due to the days being longer or if it’s because I take the majority of my work holidays during the summer. Anywho – I thought I’d share a book I’ve just recently finished reading – … More What I’ve been reading – The Sentinel

Make it Monday: summer crochet

July 7, 2014

Well here we are – the 1st week of the summer holidays has passed and I’ve been thinking of crochet. I know crochet in the summer is far from ideal (do you really want to working with yarn it’s so warm) so I went onto Pinterest to see if I could get some summer crochet … More Make it Monday: summer crochet

I've a new episode on my YouTube channel. There's a link up in my profile ⬆️.
I started this on Saturday and finished it this afternoon. Lots of crochet and my fingers and neck are suffering for it. What can I say, once I start a project I like to blast through until it's done.
Finished the huge size 11.5 UK socks and it only took me 16 days!
Working on this week's rows for my temperature blanket and look...a new colour has been added. It's definitely getting more spring like, though the wind and rain can take a hike.
I've a new podcast episode up (link in my bio). I have an FO, a HO and a couple of WIP's. I need help in choosing my next amigurumi, let me know which one you think I should do next.
My favourite part of these socks is the heel. So squishy.
