Hurrah, it’s December! I don’t know about you but I just love Christmas. The cold crisp days and evenings spent in front of the open fire are what memories are made of. Here’s a recap of my week. Family time: it’s tradition in my family to put up the Christmas decorations the 1st Saturday in … More Midweek waffle
Another week has gone by and here’s a round up of what I’ve been up to. Crafting: I’m still knitting these socks but am almost at the heel. Is it just me, I find it takes forever to knit from the cuff to the heel then after that the foot speeds along. Shopping: Last Friday … More Midweek waffle
We’re heading towards the end of November and my girls can’t wait to get the Christmas decorations up. I keep telling them we’ve got to wait until the 1st December so not long to go. Here’s a little round up of my week. Reading: I’m still reading ‘My not so perfect life’ by Sophie Kinsella. … More Midweek waffle
Hey how’s things with you this week? Here’s a snippet of my week. Reading: I finished Caraval by Stephanie Garber (see last week), it was OK but I don’t think it lived up to the hype. I would give it 3/5⭐. I have read a couple of fantasy books recently so I decided to take a break … More Midweek waffle

Today I’m doing a little post to share a couple of snippets from my week. Visiting: We called down to our new favourite place, Rowallane Gardens on Saturday. We didn’t visit the formal gardens, instead we took a walk along the woodland route. It was just beautiful and autumnal plus there was a definite drop in temperature … More Midweek waffle
I’ve been enjoying knitting my socks and baby cardigans that I thought it was time I try and knit a full sized garment for myself. I’ve been building up my Ravelry library of things I’d love to knit/crochet and at Yarnfolk in the summer I bought some beautiful merino wool/silk skeins with the aim of … More My Worsted Boxy Sweater
A couple of weeks ago I started a new cross stitch project, a house warming present for a friend. Emily is a school librarian and we both share a love of all things bookish, so I took this opportunity to create a cross stitch using a well known saying. I had a hunt on Etsy … More A modern bookish cross stitch
I have a finished object to share with you today and just as well as the weather is distinctly autumnal now (bye bye summer 😥 ). I want to test and improve my skills as a knitter and one of the new skills I wanted to learn was lacework. I figured it would be easier … More Norwegian Fir cardigan
Several weeks ago I decided that I needed a little knitting project to take away on holiday. A simple vanilla sock project would be small enough but I didn’t want to have to worry about doing a heel flap or gusset. I had bought a gorgeous self striping ball of yarn from Twisted Limone on Etsy in … More Afterthought heel of doom
