  • Bad head-lights!
    So this morning I was cycling to work in the dark at 0430hrs, when a cyclist came towards me on the cycle path with the brightest of lights flashing! I had to stop, I could not continue my journey. I had to put my head down t block the light, it was far too brightContinue reading “Bad head-lights!”
  • Reusable paperless towels.
    Hi all how are we doing in this crazy world we live in? I’ve been exploring the things we use in the kitchen and found that one main thing is a huge factor is paper towels. Not a lot of people think there’s much in a paper towel but when you look in a supermarket,Continue reading “Reusable paperless towels.”
  • I’m an Uber driver!
    Okay so, it doesn’t sound that flash but I will not be driving people about but I will be delivering food to people. Which is also good! I can’t wait to get started and looking forward to actually working my own hours and not set ones. I wonder how well I can get to doContinue reading “I’m an Uber driver!”
  • I bought a house!
    Oh my goodness, it has been longer than a minute since I last wrote a post. That is rather bad of me. But I do have a valid excuse, I shall explain… So, a year ago our rent got put up again after only being in the property for 2 years! It was getting sillyContinue reading “I bought a house!”
  • Heat pads?
    This weekend I have been working on making some heat pads. I have tried these out for myself before making some and I have found that they are really, really good! So, I set to work with some small pieces of scrap fabric. I soon had four made up and had a look for moreContinue reading “Heat pads?”

I have quite a few on the go and I really do need to stop my head from turning into a crazy mad woman haha. I have a hexagon cardigan that both sides have been started and IContinue reading “Update on what I’m making”

    This month I am on with a few projects at the same time! I should be really but that is just how I roll. So, I will show you one of the items that I am currently enjoying and once finished will appear on my website. This make is a jumper where I thought IContinue reading “Latest makes”
  • Being social media active!
    Wow!! I really do need to keep a check on how many times I do not make any updates! It is really hard to keep a check on things sometimes, especially if, like me, you are creating new products along with running a home. Unfortunately, I am taking my husband to the hospital every fortnightContinue reading “Being social media active!”
  • Land prices!
    How can buying a piece of land be so expensive? This is just so silly! I’ve wanted to have my own piece of land since I was a young child. I always thought my grandfather would leave me some in his will, but that never happened! So I thought I’d look for land myself. LookingContinue reading “Land prices!”
  • Handkerchiefs
    Hankies used to be deemed as very unhygienic. I agree with this to a certain extent, but if you look at it in a different way then you will see what I mean! So, you have a runny nose and go for the tissues. But when you have used those tissues, where do they go?Continue reading “Handkerchiefs”
