In the summertime

It’s been a long time, but I’m finally living back in Brighton, save for a few days a week when I help out Mum. I can’t believe how long ago it was that Mum broke her leg and I went to live with her, I don’t think any of us realised what a long haul [...]

Life right now.

Well it certainly has been a long week! Edinburgh was really great, I loved the city and Aral and I had a great time there. I was struck by how much space there seems to be and how wide the streets were. We stayed in a fantastic apartment, and I hope that we might return [...]

Things I never thought I’d make.

On the list of things I never thought I would make, a Christening blanket is pretty high up there. First of all I’m not  Christian and secondly, I didn’t think I could or would knit anything more complicated than a scarf. However, here I am finding myself being asked by a friend to make [...]

Felting FTW

What a busy few days! Aral returned safe and well on Thursday morning, much to my relief. Of course as soon as he got home, jet lag struck and he promptly fell asleep for several hours, so it was pretty lucky that when he was at South by Southwest he had visited the Make: expo [...]

Muffiny Goodness.

It seems like everyone is out of the country at the moment, and on Thursday that will include Aral as he goes off to SXSW in Austin TX. The traveling seems to be getting easier and I think it has a lot to do with being happier within myself and getting on with my own [...]

Sunshine in my eyes.

I truly think there is nowhere better to be than England in the sunshine. Today was the first day of the Creative Stitches and Hobbycrafts show in The Brighton Center. I went along with my friends Relly and Jessica, and it was really very inspiring. The WI exhibition was really great and showed off [...]

New Year, New Beginnings

The start of a new year is very welcome to me, this last year has been a complete blur. At the beginning of the year I had just come back from university after just 3 months and the decision that it really wasn’t for me. I was working part time in a chocolate shop and [...]

As life flashes past.

This morning I met with an old school friend for coffee and a little hat shopping, it was great to see her and catch up with everything she’s doing. We popped into Habitat to look at all the lovely Christmas things and I spotted some pretty wooden cut out coasters in the sale that I [...]

The sun is in my eyes

It genuinely is and it’s making me squint. It is also lovely and warm, and I think it’s so rare this time of year that it’s definitely worth sitting in it when you can. I am having much trouble motivating myself to get on with work and meet my impending deadline. For some reason I [...]
