Good morning! Thank you so much for all of your craft suggestions and telling me your words for the year. I love the dialogue we have and want to encourage more of that. Something I’ve been thinking about trying to facilitate since my Shall We Talk post from last year. I think I’m almost there. [...]

I’m feeling ever so slightly contemplative today and that’s always a dangerous way to feel when you blog. But hey ho, lets get on with it. My word for 2012 is ENERGY. Let me explain why. By the time 2011 had wrapped I had, over the last three years, been pregnant twice, lost both those [...]

Yesterday was a pottering day. You know the sort, all the Christmas bags are out on the floor and you have to decide where to put the lights, which plugs to use, are people going to break their necks if they trip over the wire, that sort of thing. Yesterday was also the day that [...]

We’re having the carpet fitted. All of it. It’s taking two days. We have to remove everything but three pieces of furniture from each room. That’s not really happening. Robert has to be at work. Cathy and I are moving a lot of furniture. The carpet people didn’t measure one of the rooms. We’re missing [...]

As usual it’s been quite eventful round these parts. On Saturday at 03.26am my sister gave birth to a boy, Henry, via C-Section. He came in at a rather large 9 lbs 4 oz and is doing very well indeed. We’re all absolutely delighted that he’s here and doing well and the thought of him [...]

Mmmmmm, so this is the way it is right now. I have a book deadline to meet and I also have lots of other exciting things going on. It is certainly a case of never raining but pouring. The problem with all of this is that there is only one of me. And I am [...]

Wow, what a week! It’s been busy. We had the lovely Bank Holiday long weekend, the last one until Boxing Day can you believe, and since Tuesday I’ve hardly stopped. Robert is at home and getting fitter and stronger by the day. I have to tell him to “STOP” almost every day as he pushes [...]

Hello! Thank you so much for all of your birthday wishes and encouraging comments about the book shoot. Thank you also to those of you who have pre-ordered. Even my sister has pre-ordered, ha ha, we’re excited about this as you can tell. Soaking up every second of it and storing up positivity in case [...]

It’s my birthday today. I’m thirty six and feeling great. Why? Well, my husband is home, which makes everything OK. My kids are doing well. They are now learning to grapple with quilts instead of grow-bags (lots of re-covering them as their legs stick out is going on) and I had a chat with my [...]
