This guinea pig hammock came about through the most tragic of circumstances. Unfortunately our beautiful, cheeky Cino became ill very suddenly and despite two trips to the vets, antibiotics and syringe feeding, we sadly lost him. We were all devastated. His cage buddy Pancake was lonely and the silence was unbearable. We knew that we […]

More than just Easter eggs, this a quick and simple crochet project that is great for using up scraps of yarn. My youngest daughter loves them in colourful variegated yarn so she can pretend they are dinosaur eggs for her favourite triceratops, Nightmare (who protects her from bad dreams). I, on the other hand, find […]

I was woken this morning by my youngest, ‘Happy Easter,’ she said ‘I’ll meet you downstairs’. The possibility of chocolate for breakfast meant that getting a lie in was out of the question. I guess that is what you get when you call your child Ostara, after the goddess of Easter. Happy Easter for the Youngest […]

What actually happened is something that I would like to call… Project Procrastination I’d almost finished reading this last night. It seemed rude to let it lie on the side with […]

I thought that since today is St Patrick’s Day it would be nice for the little ones to find a Pot of Gold waiting for them when they wake up. After all, isn’t that why we all love a rainbow? The promise that we might find some hidden treasure among the beautiful shimmering colours. So […]

It has been a rather crazy week. There’s so much that’s happened that I want to share but it’s all top-secret for the time being, so I’m taking to bouncing around, generally annoying people and trying to keep myself from exploding with excitement. I know it’s annoying when people do that whole ‘I know something […]

I am rather partial to a crochet cowl. They look great over t- shirts, keep your neck warm and don’t have any trailing ends that can get caught under a heel if you stand up too quickly. Not that you’d ever catch me doing something like that in front of a room full of people… […]
