Ok, I am trying to blog from my tablet for the first time so bear with me and please forgive any typos!  I am on holiday atm and left my laptop home, since I have a snazzy new Galaxy Tab Pro tablet! Early Friday morning my husband and I packed up and headed off for the south of France.  We …

Have you ever had a project in mind but were just waiting for the perfect yarn to jump out at you?   If so, then you will understand my recent experience with the Dreambird pattern on Ravelry.  I first saw it ages ago but just wasn’t sure what colors I wanted to do it in, what yarn was going to work …

After putting Project Baby to bed Xander and I made a promise to each other to make a point of enjoying our freedom.  To take time out together and take little getaways when we can and splurging on ourselves when we are able. We had had such a stressful year in 2013 that we really wanted to find a place …

It’s been such a long time since I’ve written on my blog.  Doesn’t it seem like all my recent posts start with a sentence like this? haha  I really want to revive my blog as I miss it quite a bit, so be aware, I think it’s going to be about a lot of crafty stuff in the future! There …

Now that Christmas is behind us and all surprises are out of the bag I can start discussing some crafts again.  I haven’t done that in a while for a few reasons. Firstly, because I didn’t do a single thing crafty for about a year.  I picked it up last year around x-mas and then wasn’t arsed with it again …

See what I did there?  Putting baby to bed… Anyway, yes, this is the post.  That post that we all thought would possibly come someday where I talk about us reaching the end of the road with trying to have children.  Well, here we are at the end of the road.  I probably shouldn’t say it like that, it’s not …

Whew, it’s been a while.  Every time I post I talk about how I’m going to update more often but then I fall right back into the habit of doing everything via Facebook.  Aaah, Facebook!  What a love/hate relationship I have with that site.  It keeps me in touch but is also one of the biggest sources of aggravation for …

Settle in, this is going to be a long one… About two months ago my friend Penny told me her husband was going away for a weekend in May, she was unloading her son with her sister-in-law and asked if I wanted to have a girl’s day.  I’m always up for a girl’s day so I promptly marked it on …

In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits.  My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things …
