Ripple blanket – the beginning
I’m joining in with onecraftymumma’s ripple-along. It is just the motivation I need to get a much-planned-for crochet blanket done. I’m using the pattern at Attic 24 to make my blanket. I have eight balls of yarn (800g) and it’s going to be 145cm by about 1m, although I crochet loosely so it might end […]
February 18-24
Another week has raced by. I am getting used to my new role at work and the children are settled and happy at school and Childcare. 18/2: it was such a hot day. Cold meats and salads for tea was just perfect 19/2: the biggest blessing was all the rain we had today. Over 20mm […]
Fabric Friday… Distracted
Today I am wearing a skirt I made last summer. I have shared about this fabric before: it is bright and summery and I wear this skirt often. But that’s not really what I am writing about today. You see, I’ve been a bit distracted lately and I haven’t been delving into my fabric stash […]

Learning to be a mother – from a cow
It has been a week since Daisy was born. I love watching her gallop in the paddocks. I love watching Bella watch her calf, lick her clean and seemingly communicate to her. I love watching the cows. It is always relaxing to watch them and their peaceful ways. I have seen Bella try to lie […]
Flowers
Well, it’s valentines day so this is kind of a good topic for today. We don’t usually recognise valentines day, monte and I, but today monte came home from teaching a class and gave me some flowers and chocolate! I know! And we opened a cold bottle of champagne and had a few champers together […]
February 4-11
1: (4/2) I received a huge package in the mail, filled with haberdashery (most was probably nana’s) from my cousin. 2: (5/2) at the end of a busy day I enjoyed listening to my beautiful girl reading to me a story from my own childhood. The other special thing about today was that Georgia spent […]
